Verve.
Software that remembers what you meant.
Verve is a general-purpose language for building with agents and reviewing the result through responsibilities, guarantees, and consequences.

The program map
A system you can read.
Every responsibility declares its intent. The map comes from code and shows where each decision lives.

Charge once
The essential unit
A capability says what it promises.
Its realization can change. Purpose, limits, and evidence remain visible.
CAPABILITYChargeOrder
01Purpose
Charge an order only once.
02Contract
Inputs, results, and guarantees.
03Authority
Only the resources granted.
04Realization
The code that fulfills the agreement.
Conceptual example · syntax and tools in development
Semantic review
Review consequences.
A change is shown through what it alters for people, the system, and its guarantees.
Your intentRetry when the network fails.
Responsibility
The goal remains charging only once.
Scope
A new connection needs your decision.
Evidence
Each guarantee says how it was checked.
Your decisionWhat really changes.
Made for this way of building
Four design decisions.
Writable by agents
Explicit roles; plausible mistakes should become visible.
Named certainty
Proved, tested, or unchecked: each word has a meaning.
Fast to iterate
Incremental checks and native performance as measurable goals.
The actual state
We are building Verve.
The paradigm is defined. Edition 1.0 and the Rust compiler advance in stages; capabilities will be announced with evidence.
