Foundations

Text

Body, lead and small, set in the kit’s one typeface with the measure and the leading fixed, so a paragraph reads the same in every finish.

Three sizes

Lode runs long-lived agents and reports on them the way a good appliance does.

Every run has a stop key. Press it and the agent halts between tool calls, then rolls back what it wrote to the last checkpoint. Figures are tabular: 1,284.50 · 96.1% · 00:30.

Measured hourly from eleven regions.

tui-lead
16 px, 1.5, second ink, 58 characters a line at most

Rules

  • Body text in the first or second ink only; the third ink is for scales and hints.
  • Keep the measure: a line longer than 70 characters is set too wide.
  • Figures are always tabular, so columns of numbers line up.

The full law

printing.mdIn the brain

This page is a summary in plain words. The brain holds the law itself, written for an agent to follow.

The full law, with the foundations they rest on and the anti-patterns that break them. Full rules ship in the brain with the Pass.
