How does promise pipelining work in this skill?

Promise pipelining allows you to send messages to the 'promise' of a result before the network has even returned the actual data, effectively collapsing multiple round-trips into one.

What is the Principle of Least Authority (POLA)?

POLA is a security design where an actor or object is only given the specific capabilities it needs to perform its task, making the system inherently more secure than traditional ACL-based models.

CapTP stands for Capability Transfer Protocol, a method for secure communication between distributed objects in an actor-based system using Object Capability (OCAP) security.

What are Vats in the context of CapTP?

Vats are transactional containers for actors. They provide an ergodic boundary that transports capabilities without amplification, ensuring isolated execution environments.

API Development

Enables secure, distributed object programming using the Capability Transfer Protocol and promise pipelining.

About

CapTP (Capability Transfer Protocol) provides a robust framework for distributed actor-based programming with built-in capability security. By abstracting network locations and utilizing promise pipelining, it allows developers to interact with remote objects as if they were local, while ensuring that access is governed by unforgeable references. This skill integrates with the Spritely Goblins ecosystem, offering a secure, compositional way to build cross-language distributed systems and peer-to-peer applications without the overhead of complex protocol architecture.

Key Features

Multi-language support including Scheme, Ruby, and Wasm (Hoot)
Sturdy references for persistent object reconnection across sessions
Distributed object communication using Vats and Actors
Promise pipelining to drastically reduce network round-trips
2 GitHub stars
Capability-based security (POLA) for unforgeable references

Use Cases

Implementing fine-grained, attenuated access control for remote services
Creating distributed actor systems with transactional boundaries
Building secure peer-to-peer (P2P) decentralized applications
