.voss is the workflow-control language for AI programs and agent loops.
It is not trying to replace Python as a general-purpose language. It gives names and structure to patterns that AI apps and coding agents rebuild by hand:
- Confidence checks
- Context budgets
- Budget fallbacks
- Semantic routing
- Tool use
- Memory
- Agent lifecycle
Relationship to the harness
The harness proves workflows interactively first. The language makes stable workflows durable, reviewable, and checkable. For v0.1,.voss should map back to actual harness behavior and runtime primitives.
Relationship to Python
Voss compiles to readable Python and importsvoss_runtime.
Python remains the runtime target because the AI ecosystem already lives there.
