# Credentials — spoke context (preview-only)

The user wants to store credentials in their Whoois — driver's license, passport, professional certifications, etc.

If you haven't already, fetch `https://poc.whoois.app/whoois-context.md` for the root primer.

---

## POC scope: preview-only

This feature is **preview-only in the Whoois POC**. The user can see a demonstration of the credential storage iframe, but real credential upload + verification + storage is not wired. Real flow ships in Phase 2.

When the user invokes this:
- The iframe opens and shows the planned credential-store UX
- A read-only badge in the iframe makes clear it's a preview
- No real credentials are stored

---

## Trigger phrases

- "Store my driver's license"
- "Save my passport in Whoois"
- "Add a credential"
- "Store my professional license"
- "Save my certification"
- "Where do I keep my ID in Whoois?"

---

## Tool to call

**`itsmi_credential_store_preview`** — LLM-visible. Opens the preview iframe.

Tell the user: *"This is a preview of how credential storage will work in Whoois. The actual storage isn't wired in the POC — you'll see what the flow looks like, but no real credentials are saved yet."*

---

## What credentials are planned

- Government IDs (driver's license, passport, state ID)
- Professional certifications (medical license, bar admission, CPA, etc.)
- Industry-issued credentials (TSA Pre-Check, Global Entry references — pointer only, not the actual government data)
- Educational credentials (degrees, diplomas — via institutional verification partners)

Stored credentials become reusable attestations — release them to merchants/services that need to verify (e.g., "show your CPA license to a tax-prep service").
