Unison OSS libraries

This repository contains transcripts and transcript outputs that mirror popular OSS Unison libraries from Unison Share to Github, for better discovery and ingestion by AI models. These libraries are open source and written by many excellent developers in the Unison community (see CONTRIBUTORS).

Repository purpose

All contributions to this library from the Unison community are opt-in, with the consent of community authors. Because Unison code is stored in a binary format and hosted on Unison Share, support for AI coding assistants like Copilot has been limited, making it difficult for new users to learn and write Unison programs.

Adding a library

1. Create a new directory in the src folder for your Unison Share username and your library name. It should look like src/username/library-name.
2. Create a Unison transcript file called, scratch.u.md, in the new directory for your library

Here's a sample transcript which you can use as a template:

# <Library name>

Short description of what this library does.

## Library contents list

This section contains a `ucm` transcript block that pulls the desired library version and lists its contents with the `find` command.

``` ucm
@unison/base/main> pull.without-history @unison/base/releases/3.28.1
@unison/base/main> find
```

## Code style conventions

If your library has specific naming or code style conventions that may be useful for code-completion agents to follow, for example, "everything prefixed with an underscore in this library should be considered an implementation detail", please mention them here.

## Code examples

The `find` command in the previous section will have listed the contents of the library, take note of the last numbered argument in the list and use it in the `edit` command below.

``` ucm
@unison/base/main> edit 1-8000
```

3. Run the ucm transcript command from the root of this project to generate Unison code from the transcript file:

$ ucm transcript src/<share-handle>/<library-name>/scratch.u.md

This will generate a file called src/<share-handle>/<library-name>.scratch.u.output.md. This file can be separated into two components, a scratch.u file, which contains the last portion of raw Unison code, and the scratch.u.output.md which contains the markdown-formatted output of the transcript without the raw Unison code.

4. Add your information to the CONTRIBUTORS file in the root of this repository. Commit and push your changes to a new branch and open a pull request.
