Post-quantum integrity · NPU-accelerated · one suite, no paywalls

YakForge — the forge
of the YakOS suite.

YakForge is the semantic filesystem layer and headless IDE daemon at the heart of YakOS — search by meaning, not filename. It indexes your code by concepts, not strings — so you ask "where do we handle authentication?" and get the right answer, not a grep dump.

One OS, three editions — Lukla (shell + semantic fs), Tengboche (+ mesh node), Gorakshep (+ settlement layer). Every edition ships every feature.

A lone trekker and a yak crossing a misty ridgeline — the YakOS trail

The trail every node climbs — one OS, three editions, no shortcuts.

What YakForge Does

Semantic Search

Find code by meaning. "Where do we handle user authentication" returns the actual auth module, not every file containing the word "auth".

UTF-8 File I/O

Read, write, edit, grep, and list files via HTTP API. Unicode-safe. No encoding traps. Works across all projects via a single daemon.

NPU Embeddings

AMD XDNA NPU acceleration for real-time embedding generation. BF16 precision, 38K ops/s. GPU fallback for batch indexing.

Post-Quantum Integrity

ML-DSA-65 file signatures. Every file signed, every edit verified. Tamper detection at the filesystem layer. Quantum-resistant.

AST & Code Intelligence

AST outlines, LSP definitions, drift detection. Understand code structure without opening an editor.

Checkpoint & Restore

Snapshot workspace state before risky changes. Diff and restore. Verification gate kills verification theater — get real exit codes.

How It Works

1

YakForge daemon runs on port 9998

A headless Go daemon, localhost-only. 63 HTTP endpoints for file I/O, semantic search, AST, checkpoints, and verification. No GUI — it's an infrastructure layer.

2

Embedding models load on demand

Always-on: code + general embeddings. On-demand: multilingual (5 min idle) + deep (2 min idle). Auto-router detects language and code intent. NPU for real-time, GPU for batch.

3

Any tool can call the API

IDEs, AI agents, CLIs, scripts — anything that speaks HTTP. The Triad (Qwen3-30B orchestrator) uses YakForge tools to read, write, search, and verify. No lock-in.

# Semantic search — find by meaning
curl
-X POST http://localhost:9998/api/search/query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query":"where do we handle JWT verification"}'
# File I/O — Unicode-safe
curl
"http://localhost:9998/api/file/read?path=/src/auth.py"

YakOS, live

Not renders — the actual desktop and control deck.

YakOS desktop — COSMIC shell over the misty basecamp wallpaper
The desktop — COSMIC shell, semantic filesystem, taskbar verbs.
YakHQ control deck — every suite service with live latency
YakHQ — the service deck: YakForge, PQ bridge, NPU embed, mesh — live latencies.

Pricing

No feature gates. No paywalls. Every edition of YakOS — Lukla, Tengboche, Gorakshep — ships every feature. Paid tiers fund support and infrastructure, never features.

This is the founders-donation model: the code is free; the time and the relays are not.
