Reference overview
Where the canonical OpenProse specs live.
Reference overview
These docs are intentionally small. They explain how to think about OpenProse and how to get started.
The canonical behavior lives in the open source repo, especially the open-prose skill and its reference specs.
That split is deliberate.
The docs site should help a human get oriented. The skill should tell an agent how to run the thing.
What belongs here
This section gives you:
- a shallow map of the command surface
- links to the skill and canonical specs
- enough vocabulary to know which file to read next
It does not try to mirror the full language reference. Mirrored specs drift, and drift is dangerous when agents read the docs as if they are executable instructions.
Where to go
| Need | Read |
|---|---|
| Run, lint, test, or explain a program as an agent | For AI agents |
| Understand the shell command names | Command surface |
| Find the authoritative execution files | Canonical specs |
| Decide whether OpenProse is a fit | When to use OpenProse |
If this site and the skill disagree, trust the skill.
Next: commands.
