kernel

Focused implementations of core algorithms and data structures with concise engineering notes.

Mission

Build a compact, credible reference repository for algorithmic patterns that matter in real engineering work: indexing, traversal, ordering, caching, and efficient data access.

Ecosystem role

• Complements foundry with more direct implementations
• Supports atlas and mesh with reusable primitives
• Provides interview-grade and production-grade examples without noise

Status

Starter implementation phase with tested examples and a path toward broader coverage.

Tech stack

• Python 3.12
• pytest
• Markdown
