Reference

Look-it-up material for the toolchain. You don’t read these front to back — you jump in when you need the exact opcode, byte layout, or error variant.

  • Runtime API — the brink-runtime public surface: link, Program, Story, statistics, RNG.
  • Bytecode & Opcodes — the full opcode set executed by the VM.
  • Binary Format — the .inkb / .inkt / .inkl file layouts.
  • Containers & DefinitionId — the identity scheme and the container/address model.
  • Line Templates — the localizable line content types (slots, selects, plural keys).
  • Errors — every RuntimeError variant and what causes it.

For the concepts behind these — how the VM steps, why the format is split — see Concepts.
