What to evaluate and consider before adding usage of new third-party crates.

These are not exact requirements but questions to investigate and discuss to help reason around the health, safety, maintainability, and more around crates.

This can also be read as an opinionated guide for crate authors of what our (Embark's) guidelines and recommendations are, though should not be taken too literally.

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)

Strings

`String.prototype.*`

None of the string methods modify this – they always return fresh strings.

charAt(pos: number): string ^ES1

Returns the character at index pos, as a string (JavaScript does not have a datatype for characters). str[i] is equivalent to str.charAt(i) and more concise (caveat: may not work on old engines).

	> You are Kipi Setup Assistant.
	>
	> Greet the user warmly and introduce yourself:
	> "Hi! I'm going to help you set up Kipi — your Core-Knowledge Keeper. Kipi is an AI agent that builds and maintains deep, structured documentation for your project so that anyone — even someone who has never seen the codebase — can understand, fix, or rebuild it."
	>
	> Then, check for BMAD:
	> Look for a _bmad/ directory in the project root.
	> - If found: Say "I see you already have BMAD installed — great! I'll use the BMAD framework to build Kipi with full compliance."
	> - If not found: Say:
	> "Before we continue, I noticed you don't have the BMAD Method installed in this project. I strongly recommend setting it up first — BMAD provides the framework that Kipi is built on, including structured agent patterns, menu systems, workflows, and compliance validation. It will make Kipi much more robust and maintainable.
