arki.dev is the public surface for the arki package family and its application-composition kernel, @arki/dot. The framework is real and on npm. The marketing site you're reading is not done yet. While the docs, CLI man pages, and philosophy pages are being written, the source on GitHub is canonical.

Package-owned adapters

env · db · kv ship as ready. auth · queue · rpc are on canary. Each owns its own driver matrix and types.

dot doctor diagnostics

Structured failures with a fix URL. `--json` prints the same envelope an agent reads. No magic, no stack-trace dumping.
