# Overview

## What is protos.rip

protos.rip is a Protobuf schema registry that serves modules to the buf CLI over the BSR protocol. Publish modules to a scope you own and reference them from other projects as `protos.rip/<scope>/<module>` in `buf.yaml`. The registry implements the bufbuild/registry-proto v1 services the buf CLI calls — see [buf CLI command coverage](/docs/reference/buf-cli-command-coverage) for the full surface.

## How to read these docs

Start with the [Quickstart](/docs/quickstart) for a 10-minute path from sign-up to publishing and consuming a module. Guides cover one task each — sign-in, scopes, publishing, depending, labels, and module management. Reference pages cover lookup material — CLI command coverage, supported CLI versions, API key format.
