Symbolic computation with receipts.

The anti-hallucination layer for AI agents. A Hermetic programming language where programs are rituals, agents are decks, and every inference shows its work. Zero LLM calls for the symbolic path — pure computation, receipts visible.

i.

Proprietary runtime.

The TarotScript runtime is closed-source and hosted. Receipts, dignities, bundle validation, and tension math run where provenance is enforceable.

ii.

Distributable primitives.

Contracts ship as open @stackbilt/contracts. Primitive algorithms ship as standalone libraries. Decks plug into the hosted runtime as author-owned plug-ins.

iii.

MCP tools for agents.

Third-party AI agents reach the runtime through MCP — tarot_cast, tarot_classify, tarot_validate_bundle. Symbolic primitives, tool-shaped.
