Language Guide

Culsma organizes source syntax around a small set of workflow families: material mutation, environment application, binary separation, ordered fractionation, readout, and execution requirements. Supporting forms such as groups, streams, marker panels, schemas, and schedules are placed next to the family they serve.

Read the guide in this order when learning the language.

Foundations

These pages introduce the objects that later workflow operations use.

1. Protocols and Bindings
2. Containers and Content
3. Units
4. Groups and Plate Selectors

Composition

Control flow composes workflow operations into larger protocols.

1. Control Flow and Schedule
2. Stdlib Portals

Each page uses runnable examples where the concept has a small source example.
