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.

Hosted runtime.

The TarotScript runtime is 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_scaffold. Symbolic primitives, tool-shaped.
