IDE/CLI.

The developer workbench for shaping creatures, commands, scenes, and verification into one visible spine. An IDE for seeing the system, a CLI for moving it.

A living development environment
for the creature spine.
Developer is the operating surface for Creature Spine: a focused IDE for reading the creature graph, editing behaviors, opening scenes, and keeping state visible while the CLI runs the work. It is a focused workbench for changing the system, seeing the result, and proving the result.
Every action has a visible trail: prompt, command, affected creature, rendered surface, verification output, and the next runnable step. Commandable. Inspectable. Alive.

THE SPINE SURFACE

The IDE panes and CLI contracts that make Creature Spine usable.
