v0.3.0 shipped Q3 2026
AI is a cell. Cells that think. 4 providers, 8 cell kinds, 1 uniform interface.
Added
- AI cells are first-class in @quilt/core. New
kind: aicell with 7 sub-kinds (llm, embed, image, translate, sentiment, summarize, code, vision). Auto-detects dependencies from{{id}}templates, propagates reactively, caches by input hash. - @quilt/ai — standalone TS package with 4 provider implementations (z.ai, Kimi, DeepSeek, Cloudflare Workers AI).

v0.2.0 shipped Q2 2026
Production-grade. The cell model stabilized, the tests pass, the binaries ship.
Added
- Quilt (TypeScript) v0.2.0 — full engine, 8 cell kinds, 98 tests pass.
- Quilt (Rust) v0.2.0 — sync core, async at the boundary, 3.2 MB stripped binary.
- Quilt Live v0.2.0 — single HTML file, 70 KB, 146 verified checks across 5 test files.
- 54 example sheets covering productivity, finance, fitness, music, photography, education, automotive, networking, communication, science, security, geography, real estate, travel, gaming, dev tools, time, showcase, meta.
- Per-context memoization in the engine.
- Helper functions (qget, qcall).
- Sensor
defaultfield for placeholder values.
Fixed
- Formula rewrite placeholder pass handles dot-segmented IDs.
- YAML block lists parse correctly.
- Program cell dependency pre-evaluation works for multi-line blocks.
- Flow-style maps parse correctly.
- Multi-line block scalars work in cells, formulas, programs.
v0.1.0 shipped Q1 2026
The first cut. The runtime, the cell model, the YAML format. The thing that became everything else.
Added
- @quilt/core — TypeScript reactive engine. 8 cell kinds, per-context memoization.
- @quilt/mcp — every cell as an MCP tool. Native stdio server.
- @quilt/cli — run, eval, watch. The dev experience.
- 4 example sheets: budget, weather, tracker, counter.
- 3 templates: starter, agent, sensor-pipeline.
- Landing page with the manifesto.
- 5-chapter tutorial.
- 5 docs: manifesto, architecture, recipes, comparison, security.
The sketch repos
The 8 sketches that established the long-term vision. Each is its own repo with its own README and tests.
Added

The roadmap
A 5-year plan. Q1 2026 shipped; Q2 in progress; Q3-Q4 sketched.
Shipped
- Q1 2026: the runtime (TS, Rust, Live).
- Q2 2026: time, vault, rooms, mesh, esp32, packs.
Coming
- Q3 2026: agent, vision, zk, build, the IDE, the synoptic view, real-time multi-user.
- Q4 2026: flow, print, music, fabric, civic, fs.
- 2027: a mesh of personal devices, a runtime for personal AI, the cell model as the substrate of personal data.
