Surface – KDL Specification Format – Experimental

etoxin•58m ago
I wanted a app spec format that could near deterministically output an application via an AI agent. Change the spec and the LLM could rebuild the whole application with that one change.

I used KDL so a human/you could easily write up a full app and let the agent build the application.

You can keep the spec simple or define the logic in each function with scoped context. You can also define your data model.
