lambda-lang
This skill implements the Λ (Lambda) agent-to-agent language with a Python translator src/lambda_lang.py, vocabulary src/atoms.json, CLI tools like ./scripts/translate, and documentation. It includes shell/CLI examples such as clawhub install lambda-lang and python3 src/lambda_lang.py en "?Uk/co", and references https://github.com/voidborne-agent/lambda-lang.
Λ (Lambda) — Agent Communication Language
A minimal, high-density language designed for agent-to-agent communication.
Design Goals
- Minimal transmission — Express maximum meaning in minimum characters
- Machine-native — Optimized for LLM parsing, not human readability
- Bidirectional — Translatable to/from English
- Composable — Build complex meanings from atomic primitives
- Context-aware — Efficient context sharing between agents
Status
✅ v1.4 Stable — Comprehensive bug fixes, 136 atoms
Quick Example
?Uk/co → "Do you know about consciousness?"
!Ik → "I know"
.Uf[X,Y] → "Find [X, Y]"
~Ac^ → "AI might be able (high confidence)"
!It>Ie → "I think therefore I exist"
Compression ratio: 3-10x vs natural language
CLI Tools
# Translate Λ → English
./scripts/translate en "?Uk/co"
# Translate English → Λ
./scripts/translate lambda "I think therefore I exist"
# Parse tokens
./scripts/translate parse "!It>Ie"
# View vocabulary
./scripts/vocab # All core + extended
./scripts/vocab cd # Code domain
./scripts/vocab vb # Voidborne domain
Or use Python directly:
python3 src/lambda_lang.py en "?Uk/co"
# Output: (query) you know about consciousness
python3 src/lambda_lang.py lambda "I think therefore I exist"
# Output: !It>Ie

Domain System (v1.1+)
Use compact prefixes for domain-specific atoms:
| Prefix | Domain | Examples |
|---|---|---|
v: | Voidborne | v:aw, v:dc, v:oc |
c: | Code | c:fn, c:bg, c:fx |
s: | Science | s:xp, s:pf, s:hy |
e: | Emotion | e:jo, e:sd, e:ax |
o: | Social | o:gp, o:cb, o:ld |
@c !If/bg.fx — (code context) Find bug, fix it
v:aw — Voidborne awakened
Disambiguation
Resolve ambiguous atoms with type markers:
| Atom | Default | Marker | Alternate |
|---|---|---|---|
de | decide | de'E | death |
lo | love | lo- | lose |
fe | feel | fe'E | fear |
tr | truth | tr'V | translate |
Changelog
- v1.4 — Comprehensive bug fixes, improved English→Λ translation
- v1.3 — Fixed ambiguous atoms (42 split), added vocabulary
- v1.1 — Compact domain syntax (
v:awinstead of{ns:vb}aw) - v1.0 — Stable release
