fwdslsh

Slash a path through the bloat

Sharp tools for hackers who remember when software didn't fight you. Zero deps, instant setup, no frameworks to babysit.

Built for the Command Line

Small, sharp programs that do one thing well

~/project
$ unify init # Scaffold a plain-HTML site
$ unify build # Layouts + includes, rendered at build time
$ rabit discover https://fwdslsh.dev # Find a site's agent manifest
$ rabit traverse https://fwdslsh.dev # Walk every entry, deterministically

rabit

Manifest-based navigation for AI

A simple convention for publishing content that both humans and AI agents can navigate reliably, using .burrow.json manifests.

$ rabit map ./docs --title "My Docs"
$ rabit validate docs/.burrow.json
$ rabit list https://example.com/docs

Why we built it: AI agents need structured paths, not HTML soup.

unify

HTML-native static site generator

Write a header, nav, footer, or layout once in plain HTML and unify renders it into every page. No expression language, no client runtime — this site is built with it.

$ npm install -g @fwdslsh/unify
$ unify init
$ unify build

Why we built it: Sharing chrome across pages shouldn't require a framework.

The Path Forward

Old-school principles, new-school execution

We're not building the next unicorn framework. We're building tools for hackers who value craft over hype.

Ship binaries, not ecosystems: Download once, run everywhere. No package manager roulette or dependency hell.

Hack with the grain: Work with web standards and POSIX conventions instead of reinventing everything.

Performance starts in your head: Tools should amplify human intelligence, not fight it with ceremony and complexity.

The / isn't just our logo - it's a commitment to cutting through the cruft.
