Words become capability.
Seed programs compose, reduce, and reach foreign APIs. Bind new vocabulary while the machine is running.
STABLE 0.1 / IN THE WORKS
Build from
inside.
A programmable world,
a semantic compiler,
and a bootleg operating system.
A small machine you can keep making larger. Write programs, reach into the world, and carry what you build into the next boot.

THE IDEA / 001
The machine is a starting point.
What happens next is programmable.
Pick up where you left off.
Your live image belongs to your Desktop. Boot reconstructs the machine from source you can read and change.
Bring a whole toolbox.
The release pairs Skunkworks with a Bash Workshop: an OCI image, a private WSL environment, and a small skw command.
RELEASE STATUS
The first stable release is being prepared. The platform will be free to download after release certification. Optional support helps fund its development.

SUPPORT THE MACHINE / 003
Free to build.
Room to grow.
The platform is free. Support is optional.
Skunkworks is infrastructure for making things. Download it, explore it, and build something only you would think to build.
Optional supporter payments help fund development. Games and finished experiences can become paid products of their own; none are on sale here yet.

Help keep it moving.
A voluntary contribution toward development. Skunkworks requires no supporter payment. Support does not promise an immediate release.

FIELD GUIDE / 004
Start small.
Keep going.
The first steps inside Skunkworks.
01
Install and boot.
When the stable release is available, download the setup installer and run it. Open Skunkworks, then open its Workshop shortcut. The first boot creates your live image in Desktop\Skunkworks\continuum.
The Workshop uses WSL 2. If Windows needs to enable it, follow the setup prompt and restart when asked.
02
Ask the machine.
From the Workshop, send a Seed expression to the running machine:
skw 'A'A comes back. The skw command connects locally; keep Skunkworks running while you use it.
03
Make a word.
Read a program from text and bind it as id. Then use it:
skw '"\\x -> x" | read | bind :id'
skw 'A | id'
skw 'id | repr'read turns text into a program. bind gives the program a name. repr turns a program back into source.
04
Read the source and release notes
Keep the source.
Your Continuum is user-owned machine data. Back it up. Programs written as Seed source can be read back and executed on a later boot. An in-memory binding alone is not a saved machine state.
The first release focuses on reconstruction from persisted source. Generalized save-state and load-state controls remain future work.
