What shipped
v1.0.0 establishes the baseline: a workspace that can evolve into a durable system for creating, organizing, and operationalizing work. The emphasis is not “more features” — it’s a platform direction with a workflow-first mindset.
- Foundational workspace flow: a place to work, iterate, and organize outputs
- CLI entry point: a lightweight surface for automation and operations
- Distribution pipeline: stable releases and reproducible downloads
- Public knowledge surface: articles, sitemap, RSS, and AI-friendly mappings
Why it matters
Modern work is fragmented: docs, chats, tickets, folders, and tabs. Search returns links, not answers. Creation is fast, but production is slow. Alien Workshop is built around a thesis:
You should be able to generate, edit, organize, retrieve, collaborate, automate, and publish—then ship outcomes.
If you want the best “mental model” of where this goes, these deep dives form a clean map:
What’s next
The near-term focus is to sharpen the surfaces that make the system feel reliable: clarity, structure, and compounding workflows. Expect improvements in:
- Workflow quality: structured outputs, repeatable templates, and consistent execution paths
- Retrieval: making answers faster, more reliable, and more reusable
- Collaboration: shared context that reduces coordination cost
- Automation: turning repeatable work into pipelines
