Architecture & Execution Model

How Trak resolves remote templates and builds local workspaces deterministically.

01 / Remote AST Resolution

Queries the remote GitHub registry for templates/<category>/<tool>.json without requiring binary updates.

02 / Recursive File Generation

Traverses the node tree and creates directories, code files, and build manifests (go.mod, Cargo.toml, compose.yml).

03 / Metadata Stamping

Stamps an immutable trak.json manifest locally to track the template version and creation timestamp.

Design Guarantees

Local-First & Offline

No cloud accounts, telemetry, or browser sandbox constraints. Workspaces exist natively on your disk and work 100% offline with your preferred IDE (VS Code, GoLand, Neovim).

Production Internals Depth

Curriculums focus on production mechanics: memory pointer semantics, PostgreSQL MVCC visibility maps, Rust Tokio async runtime, and Linux kernel process signals.
