Cave

A Palantir-like system that packages data, ontology, logic, actions, security, and operational workflows into a single CLI. It is local-first, using git-friendly text .cave files and sqlite3 instead of k8s-style complexity. The next planned step is extending the language with AST-style traversal, modification, and generation for arbitrary ASTs and better integration with external file types and the filesystem.

What it addresses

Comparable systems bring k8s-style complexity blowup; Cave keeps the whole stack as simple local-first text files and sqlite3.
