Specs
Reference specifications for Vancetope internals — engines, services, data model, protocols. Each page is the source of truth for one subsystem.
Browse the sidebar on the left, or use the search box (top right) to jump to a term. Cross-references between specs are linked inline.
If you’re looking for how to do something rather than how a piece works, start with the How-tos section instead.
Reading order
If you’re new to Vancetope and want a tour rather than a reference, start here:
- Get started — install and run Vancetope locally.
- Concepts — the core vocabulary (engine, recipe, scope, think-process, kit).
- Architecture — brain, clients, triggers.
- How-tos — task-oriented guides for common workflows.
- Then dive into individual specs below.
Translation status
The original specs are written in German under
specification/public/
in the source repository. English translations land here as they are
completed — what you see in the sidebar is what’s currently translated.
The German originals always lead; missing translations are not a
content gap, just a translation backlog.
If a German spec exists but you don’t see it here yet, check the source.
