Release notes

TOAD 0.1.0 — the first release

TOAD is now on npm. Write an AI agent as a tiny declarative .agent file; the toac compiler turns it into readable, fully-typed TypeScript that runs on Claude.

npm i -g toad-compiler
npm i toad-runtime @anthropic-ai/sdk

What's in it:

• The compiler — .agent (a strict TOON superset) lowered, decoded, validated, and emitted as typed TypeScript, with located file:line:col diagnostics.
• The language — typed inputs / outputs / tools, object types, interpolation, {#each} loops (with index, {:else}, and destructuring), and {#if}/{:else if}/{:else} conditionals.
• The runtime — the tool-use loop, structured output, composition (uses: / asTool()), lifecycle (retries, maxTurns, hooks), and streaming.
• The site — docs, a step-by-step tutorial, live examples, and an in-browser playground running the real compiler.

Two packages: toad-compiler (the toac CLI) and toad-runtime. MIT-licensed. Issues and PRs welcome — it's early and there's plenty to build.
