References that compile.

The TarotScript ecosystem is not a marketing diagram. Every entry below is a live caller of the runtime: AEGIS classifies agendas by casting, Stackbilder composes scaffolds by drawing from decks, and the page you are reading right now was itself shaped by a cast. The ecosystem proves the language by using it.

Three axes compose: the kernel orchestrates, the scaffolds compile, the applications run. All three speak the same primitives — ritual, spread, deck.

i.

Kernel — the orchestrator.

Coordinates between agents, routes messages, schedules work. AEGIS is the reference kernel. Its job is to decide which cast happens, when. The kernel does not itself know about cards — it knows about agendas, priorities, and inter-agent contracts. When it needs a decision, it casts.

ii.

Scaffold — the compiler.

Emits structured outputs from classified inputs. Stackbilder is the reference scaffold. It takes a user intention, casts a classification spread, dispatches by trait vector, and materialises files. Scaffolds are deck-driven code generators — the deck encodes the domain.

iii.

Application — the citizen.

Does one thing well. Agents (CTO, CISO, …), consultable APIs, marketing sites — all applications. They compose primitives and call the runtime. tarotscript.com, the agent console, the receipts viewer: all applications. Every application is ultimately a caller of POST /run.
