Velocity Update: 500+ Downloads & Where to Start

[akarlaraytu]

Hi everyone, welcome to the first community update! 👋

We pushed the csl-core alpha packages silently on Friday to test our distribution pipelines. We expected a quiet weekend of internal testing.

Instead, here is the Monday Situation:

• Weekend (Sat-Sun): ~250 downloads (Organic)
• Monday (Yesterday): Jumped to 502 downloads (pepy.tech data)

Monday Spike

We are seeing a 100% Day-over-Day (DoD) growth immediately as the business week started.

Getting Started (For the 500+ New Users)

Since many of you are asking where to begin, we have populated the repo with ready-to-run examples.

1. The Crash Course (Start Here):
If you are new to Neuro-Symbolic Governance, read the main guide first:

docs/getting-started.md

2. Quick Syntax Check:
Run the verified hello-world policy:

quickstart/01_hello_world.csl

3. For AI Agents (LangChain Users):
We added a Python integration demo showing how to wrap an LLM tool with CSL safety:

examples/integrations/langchain_agent_demo.py

4. For DeFi/Governance Logic:
See how we prevent unauthorized treasury drains in a DAO context:

examples/dao_treasury_guard.csl

Thank you for building safely with us. Let's see where we are by Friday! 🚀
