Documentation map

Contributor and implementer facts for Echo. User-facing product documentation lives under www/ and is published at https://xo.run.

Always on

Doc Role
../AGENTS.md Workflow and invariants for humans/agents
../CONTRIBUTING.md How to contribute; CLA by submission
../CLA.md Contributor agreement (IP assignment to Christoffer Hallas)
../LICENSE MIT License (copyright Christoffer Hallas)
../SECURITY.md Vulnerability reporting (oss@christofferhallas.com)
architecture.md Crate ownership and pipeline sketch
sota-gaps.md Current vs SOTA spine; gap inventory
pipeline.md Full spine + hosts (fmt, LSP, REPL, e26) + build-out order
incremental.md Fingerprint / cache / build plan (orthogonal infra)
implementation.md Per-feature vertical checklist (all layers)
glossary.md Shared vocabulary
development-speed.md Local tools, gate, edit loop
install.md XDG install / upgrade / uninstall (scripts/install.sh)
ci.md GitHub Actions multi-OS build + Linux echo26 gate
roadmap.md Language coverage map + design/impl status
fixtures.md Echo 2026 suite (echo26/ / e26) conventions
testing.md How to test: crate / echo26 / examples / xo test

Durable decisions

Doc Role
adr/ Architecture decision records (compiler/platform; surface ADRs as needed)

Language surface

Doc Domain
syntax.md Implementer language surface for Echo 2026 (core locked)
ADR 0015 Edition name + canonical public Spec ownership
lexer.md Tokens and lexing rules
semantics.md Scopes, Result/Option, inference direction
modules.md Imports, packages, %/@ merge
roadmap.md Entire language map + phases

Layer / domain specs

Expand as the corresponding layer gains real rules. Status may be “not started.”

Doc Domain
parser.md Parsing and AST construction
hir.md High-level IR (active)
mir.md Mid-level executable IR (active)
diagnostics.md Diagnostic codes and contracts
runtime-abi.md Runtime symbols and ABI
memory.md Scope-owned reclamation (not tracing GC; ADR 0016)
stdlib.md Standard library surface
stdlib-go-gaps.md Echo std vs Go stdlib gap inventory
llvm.md Codegen, optimization, link
lsp.md Language server boundary
repl.md Interactive REPL (xo repl, JIT)
tree-sitter.md Generated tree-sitter grammar (xo tools grammar tree-sitter)
reflection.md Tools echo_reflection vs userland std/reflect
incremental.md Cache / fingerprint / build

Where to put a new fact

  1. Sticky decision → ADR (when it must stick).
  2. Who owns a conceptarchitecture.md / glossary.md / pipeline.md.
  3. Language rulesyntax.md / lexer.md / semantics.md / modules.md + roadmap.md.
  4. How to implement a feature end-to-endimplementation.md checklist.
  5. How to run somethingdevelopment-speed.md or AGENTS.md.
  6. User-facing explanationwww/ once the site page exists.

Proof of behavior always belongs in tests or fixtures; docs state the rule.
