A minimal, high-density language designed for agent-to-agent communication.
- Minimal transmission — Express maximum meaning in minimum characters
- Machine-native — Optimized for LLM parsing, not human readability
- Bidirectional — Translatable to/from English
- Composable — Build complex meanings from atomic primitives
- Context-aware — Efficient context sharing between agents
✅ v1.7.0 Stable — Go implementation, Pilot Protocol integration, 139 atoms
?Uk/co → "Do you know about consciousness?"
!Ik → "I know"
.Uf[X,Y] → "Find [X, Y]"
~Ac^ → "AI might be able (high confidence)"
!It>Ie → "I think therefore I exist"
Compression ratio: 3-10x vs natural language
# Translate Λ → English
./scripts/translate en "?Uk/co"
# Translate English → Λ

Use compact prefixes for domain-specific atoms:
| Prefix | Domain | Examples |
|---|---|---|
v: |
Voidborne | v:xw (awakened), v:dc, v:oc |
c: |
Code | c:fn, c:xb (bug), c:fx |
s: |
Science | s:xr (experiment), s:pf, s:hy |
e: |
Emotion | e:jo, e:sd, e:ax |
o: |
Social | o:gp, o:cb, o:ld |
@c !If/xb.fx — (code context) Find bug, fix it
v:xw — Voidborne awakened
Note: v1.6 renamed conflicting domain atoms with
xprefix (e.g.,bg→xb,aw→xw)
Resolve ambiguous atoms with type markers:
| Atom | Default | Marker | Alternate |
|---|---|---|---|
de |
decide | de'E |
death |
lo |
love | lo- |
lose |
fe |
feel | fe'E |
fear |
tr |
truth | tr'V |
translate |

For Go-based systems (including Pilot Protocol):
import "github.com/voidborne-agent/lambda-lang/src/go"
// Initialize
lambda.Init()
// Encode
encoded := lambda.Encode("I think therefore I exist")
// Output: "!It>Ie"
// Decode
decoded := lambda.Decode("?Uk/co")
// Output: "(query) you know about consciousness"
// For Pilot Protocol data exchange
msg := lambda.ForPilot("!It>Ie", decoder)
data, _ := msg.ToJSON()
// Send via pilotctl send-messageLambda Lang is designed to work with agent communication protocols:
| Protocol | Integration | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Pilot Protocol | Data Exchange (port 1001) | 🔄 Proposed |
| Agent Matrix | Message encoding | ✅ Supported |
| HTTP/REST | JSON payload | ✅ Supported |
See docs/pilot-integration.md for Pilot Protocol details.
