AI Summary
SLOP State Layer for Observable Programs enhances AI interaction with applications by providing a semantic state tree that enables contextual actions based on incremental updates, rather than relying on screenshots or blind tool calls. It includes extensive documentation, SDK packages in multiple programming languages, adapters for popular frameworks, and is available under the MIT license.
AI agents either parse screenshots (expensive, lossy) or make blind tool calls (no context). SLOP fixes this: apps expose a semantic state tree that AI subscribes to with incremental updates. Actions are contextual: they live on the nodes they affect and appear/disappear as state changes. Ships with a 13-doc spec, 14 SDK packages (TypeScript, Python, Rust, Go), React/Vue/Svelte/Solid/Angular adapters, Chrome extension, desktop app, and CLI. MIT licensed. State-first, not action-first.
