Developer guide

Technical notes for people extending or contributing to Cadence. Linux is first. The hatched process is the assistant.

• Get started : run locally, talk via CLI or HTTP.
• Architecture : runtime, Linux desktop, gateway, CES.
• API : local SSE and HTTP. Not a public cloud API in 0.1.
• Security : Linux bwrap sandbox, credentials, host tools.
• Development workflow : scoped tests, typecheck, one PR.
• Contributing : Cadence is not published as open source. Extend a local install with skills and plugins.
• Features and capabilities : integrations, runtime skill authoring, browser, attachments, media.
• Extensibility : plugins and skills without forking the runtime.
• Your first skill : write a SKILL.md the assistant can load.
