Why it’s interesting
It provides an editable paint stroke architecture driven by coding agents that works today, comparing to features previewed by major software companies for later release.
Target user
Game developers and individuals using AI coding agents for digital art creation.
Business model
Source-available with plans to sell pre-built binaries while keeping the file format, CLI reference, and agent skill MIT licensed.
