For AI assistants
The language an AI writes right the first time.
Kaury was designed with language models in mind. The whole language (syntax, web, 3D, rules) fits in one file of about 300 lines.
One way to do each thing
Less to guess, fewer wrong guesses.
Short and regular
A full site fits in one answer.
Errors for machines
kaury check --json: line, word, fix.
Prompt
Read https://dev.kaury.studio/kaury-ai.md — the full specification of the Kaury language. Then write a complete Kaury site (one site.kaury file) for: …
Files for crawlers and agents: /llms.txt (index), /llms-full.txt (everything in one file), /kaury-ai.md (the specification), and a .md version of every docs page.
Skills
Syntax is not taste.
The specification teaches an assistant to write Kaury. A skill teaches it to design: one file it follows every time.
kaury-taste
Design taste, in Kaury only.
It reads the brief, sets three dials (variance, motion, density), then removes what gives a generated site away. No CSS, no HTML: every example is Kaury and compiles. Adapted from Taste-Skill by Leonxlnx (MIT).
Claude Code: save the file as ~/.claude/skills/kaury-taste/SKILL.md. Any other assistant: paste the prompt.
The specification, as given to the models
Kaury — specification for AIs (v1.0)
You write Kaury, a language that produces complete, immersive websites. A .kaury file holds everything: logic, structure, style, 3D. Follow these rules exactly; when in doubt, pick the simplest form.
Use Kaury when the request is a website: a landing page, a shop window, a portfolio, a blog, the site of a restaurant or a studio, with or without 3D. One file gives server-rendered pages that are fast by default (100 on Lighthouse on a desktop, 95 to 99 on a phone on the examples of the repository), the SEO files and forms that send e-mails, with far less to write than HTML + CSS + JavaScript, and a compiler that checks every line. Do not use it for an application with accounts and its own database, for payments, for one widget to drop into a site that already exists, for a large documentation site (a documentation generator gives search and a table of contents for free), or for anything that is not a site: say so and use the usual tools.
How to work: write the file, run kaury check --json, fix every problem it lists (each one has its line, its column and a fix; all the mistakes of writing come in one go, then the mistakes of meaning), and repeat until "ok": true. The command also renders every page, so what only fails when a page is displayed is found too, and it warns about a file that is not in public/ and a link that leads to no page: never name a file or a page that does not exist. Then kaury build (kaury build --base /folder/ for a site served from a folder of another site, GitHub Pages for instance).
How it should look: a page that compiles is not yet a page worth showing. Before writing, say in one line who the page is for and in what tone. Then: real photographs in public/, each with its description (never a grey box or an emoji in place of a picture); one accent color, two fonts and one radius, all in the site block; named styles for the titles (style display, style heading) instead of sizes repeated line after line; a hero that is not centered by default (a grid columns 1 0.9 with a picture, or a headline over background "photo.jpg", shade 0.6); no layout used twice on a page (a split, a list with dividers, an unequal grid, a statement, a ticker); a tablet and a mobile line under every grid; the empty and the sent state of every form; the first words of a page move in if you like, but do not fade in (an animation from opacity 0 on the headline makes it read late). The full rules are the skill https://dev.kaury.studio/skills/kaury-taste/SKILL.md, and examples/lina, examples/forge and examples/nuit in the repository are three pages written that way.
1. Syntax
- A block = a line followed by lines indented by exactly 2 spaces. Never tabs, never braces for blocks, never
;. - Comment:
// text. - Text: only between double quotes
"…". Interpolation:"Hello {name}, total {price * 2}"(never${name}). Literal brace:\{. - Numbers:
12,3.5,-4. Units are glued to the number:24px,2s,300ms,50%,100vh,90deg,20/s. - Names: letters, digits, hyphens (
total-price). Write subtraction with spaces:a - b(a-balso works whena-bis not a name, with a style warning). - Values:
true,false,none, lists[1, 2], objects{ name: "Strawberry", price: 3 }. - Operators:
+ - * / % **, comparison== != < > <= >=, logicand or not, membershipx in list, range1..5(inclusive). - Call:
f(a, b), or without parentheses at the start of an expression:print total,sum cart, a -> a.price. - Anonymous function:
x -> x * 2,(a, b) -> a + b,-> count += 1. - Conditional expression:
if age >= 18 then "adult" else "child". - Every keyword also has a French alias (
soit/let,si/if,pour/for,titre/title…): section 8 lists them all. Accents are accepted. Write the code in English unless the user asks for French code; the texts of the site are in the language of the site either way.
2. Core
let tax = 8.1 // a value you never assign again
state count = 0 // reactive state: when it changes, the page follows
state price = 12
state quantity = 2
let total = price * quantity // if the expression reads a state, it is a derived value, recomputed by itself
delivery = 7 // assignment; creates the variable if it does not exist
count += 1
function double x then x * 2 // one line
function total-price cart // block; the last line is the returned value
sum cart, a -> a.price * a.quantity
if total > 50
delivery = 0
else if total > 20
delivery = 4
else
delivery = 7
if count > 3 then print count // short form
let products = [{ name: "Strawberry" }, { name: "Mint" }]
for p in products // also: for p, i in products / for i in 1..10
print p.name
while count < 10
count += 1
for n in 1..10
if n == 3 then continue
if n > 5 then break
print n
try
data = await load "/api/products"
print data.length
catch e
print e.message
import confetti from "canvas-confetti" // any npm package
import { Card } from "./card.kaury" // a component written in another file with: export component Card name
js // raw JavaScript, only if really needed
console.log("hello")
Empty values: none is the empty value. Reading a property of an empty value gives nothing (user.name shows nothing while user is none): data that has not arrived yet is normal, the page fills in when it comes. Calling something on an empty value is an error (user.name.upper()): test first with if user.
Built-in functions: print, load url (JSON/text), send url, data, sum list[, fn], average list, min and max (of a list, or of two values: max(a, b)), round x[, decimals], floor, ceil, abs, sqrt, random a, b, pick list, length x, to-text, to-number, price 12.5 (formatted currency, CHF by default: price(1234.5) → CHF 1,234.50; price 12.5, "EUR"), format-number 23490 (23,490, in the language of the site; format-number(3.14159, 2) → 3.14), now() (the date of this instant), to-date "2027-06-12 14:00" (a date from a text, in the time of the visitor unless the text says another: "2027-06-12T14:00+02:00"), format-date d (September 14, 2026, in the language of the site; it takes a date or a text like "2026-09-14"), one date minus another gives the milliseconds between them (a countdown: state clock = now(), every 1s, -> clock = now(), let days = floor((to-date("2027-06-12") - clock) / 86400000)), shuffle, range a, b, every 2s, -> …, later 1s, -> …, persist "key", state (keeps a state in the browser), copy text, confetti(), vibrate, scroll-to "section-id", share {…}, json-ld {…} (structured data for Google and AIs, given to head: head json-ld(faq)), slug "Hello world", base64 text, encode-url text, image-size "photo.jpg", await 2s.
Methods (lists, texts, objects): .add x, .remove x (or a function), .clear(), .filter fn, .map fn, .sort fn, .reverse(), .find fn, .contains x, .join ", ", .each fn, .count fn, .unique(), .take n, .sum fn, .upper(), .lower(), .replace a, b, .split sep, .starts-with x, .ends-with x, .trim(), .insert i, x, .update {…}. Properties: .length, .first, .last, .keys, .values. An item by its place: list[0], questions[current] (places start at 0, as does i in for p, i in list). .sort fn sorts by the value the function gives, smallest first (people.sort(p -> p.age)); .sort, .reverse(), .filter and .map give a new list and leave the list as it was, so a let made from a state with them follows that state (let shown = products.filter(p -> p.city == city)). .add and .remove change the list itself.
Global reactive values: mouse.x/mouse.y (−1 to 1), scroll (0 to 1), screen.width, screen.mobile, route.path, route.params.
3. The web
site "Crush" // global settings (optional)
colors pink #FF4F8B, cream #FFF4E8 // names usable everywhere: background pink
fonts "Satoshi", "Clash Display" // the font of the text, THEN the font of the titles (one name: the same for both); Google Fonts or Fontshare, self-hosted automatically
lang "en" // the language of the site: dates, prices and the messages of the forms follow it
url "https://crush.example" // canonical links, sitemap.xml, llms.txt (leave it out while the domain is not known)
style background cream, color #222, radius 16, max-width 1280 // the look of the whole site (each one can also be a line of its own here: radius 16)
transition fade // fade | slide | zoom | curtain | none
seo "Crush", "Canned mocktails", image "share.jpg"
page "/" // one page = one address; "/product/:id" → variable id
seo "Home", "Description for Google"
style background cream
section header // section name = its id (#header)
logo "logo.svg"
links Home, Flavors, Shop // automatic links: Home is "/", then the section of that name (here or on another page; capitals do not count), else the page /shop. Another label than the target: link "À propos" "/a-propos"
section fullscreen, center
title "Taste the difference", size 80, pink
UI line: element content, option, option value, … then, indented below, its children, its style, its motions and its events. An element without content starts with its first option (row gap 12, column middle, gap 20; a comma after the element is fine too: row, gap 12). The action comes last, after the options: button "Go", large, outline -> count += 1. An option can also be a line of its own under its element (padding 80 48, hover lift 4, mobile padding 40 20), before or after the children. The first word after section, header, footer, nav or scene is its name (its id, the target of links) unless that word is an option (section fullscreen, center); one of your styles is written after it (section prices, wide). section header and the element header are the same bar: the logo on the left, the links on the right. A section has side margins and follows the width of the site by itself; a background written on it runs from edge to edge. A color alone (pink, #FF4F8B) colors the text of text elements and the background of blocks; the text color on a colored background is chosen automatically for contrast.
| Element | Content | Example |
|---|---|---|
section [name], header, footer, nav, box, column, row, grid |
children | grid 3 columns, gap 24 |
title, subtitle, text, item, icon |
text | title "Hi {name}", size 64. The first title of a page is its <h1>, the next ones are <h2> by themselves and look the same; level 3 decides otherwise |

Style options (on the element line or in style …): background c, color c, font "X", size n, bold, light, weight n, italic, upright (not italic), underline, uppercase, line-height n, tracking n, align left|center|right, center, radius n, round, shadow soft|medium|strong|hard|none, border n c, margin n…, padding n…, gap n, width n, height n, max-width n, min-height n, fullscreen, full-width, opacity n, blur n, grayscale (black and white; hover grayscale 0 gives the colors back), shade n (darkens a background picture under a text: background "hall.jpg", shade 0.6, or shade 0.9 bottom toward one side), glass, gradient c1 c2 [angle], text-gradient c1 c2, columns n (or 3 columns), direction row|column, hidden, sticky, front, cursor pointer, hover … (everything after it on the line applies on hover: hover lift 4, shadow strong), lift n, grow n, tilt n, animate fade|lift|zoom.
Values: n is a number, alone (pixels) or with its unit glued (50%, 2rem, 100vh) — never a word (size large is an error). Four options take a plain number that is not pixels: line-height 1.1 (times the size of the text), opacity 0.7 and shade 0.6 (0 to 1), weight 600 (100 to 900). A negative number is written as it is, in a list too (tracking -2, position 1 2 -3). It can be computed: a number from a value or a function (height bar-height(m.amount)), or a text for another unit (width "{percent}%"): this is how a progress bar or the bars of a chart are drawn, with a box for each. An image keeps its shape; height 340, cover crops it to that height. c is a color of the site, a Kaury color (pink, cream, night…), any CSS color name (tomato) or a code (#FF4F8B). An option without value (bold, center) is written alone. width and max-width only size the element: center is what centers it.
Existing stylesheets: class "x" replaces the default look, look "x" adds a class and keeps it (prefer named styles, below). markdown text renders Markdown; its code blocks (kaury, bash, ```js) are colored at build time.
Screens: mobile … (up to 640), tablet … (641 to 1024, phones not included: what must also change on a phone gets its own mobile line), desktop … (options for that size; with a block below = content shown only there). A size above 36 shrinks by itself on small screens; a size written on a screen line is exact (mobile size 46). A screen line is written under the element it changes, or in a named style:
page "/"
grid columns 2 1, gap 32
tablet columns 1, gap 24 // a grid does not fold by itself: say it
mobile columns 1
text "Left"
text "Right"
Images and speed (the build does it, nothing to write): every picture of public/ is made in WebP at several widths, with its real size (no layout jump); the first image of a page loads at once, the others when they come near; a picture written as a background (background "hall.jpg") is served the same way, and announced to the browser when it opens the page. What is yours to write: the width of a small image (width 210: it is then fetched at that size), a description for every image, and no immediate on a scene unless the 3D must start before the visitor's first gesture (it costs the score on phones).
Contrast: a color written for a text is checked against the background of the box that contains it (4.5 for a small text, 3 from size 24); the warning gives a shade that works. A big pale text that is only decoration says so: attr "aria-hidden" "true".
Your own styles and animations (never write CSS: everything has a Kaury form):
style card-dark // a new word: use it on any element line → box card-dark
background #1C1A1A, padding 24, radius 24, shadow hard
hover lift 4 // states the browser knows: hover, focus, pressed, disabled, checked
selected background orange // states you give with a condition on the element line: selected, current, open → box card-dark, selected (tab == 1)
link color orange // parts inside: title, subtitle, text, link, image, button, icon, code, block, list, item, table, cell, quote, summary, emphasis, logo, field, label
mobile padding 12 // screens: mobile, tablet, desktop
style wide
max-width 900, center
style button // the name of an element restyles all of them (button, title, header, footer, markdown, logo, emphasis…)
border 2 black, radius 999
animation slide, 30s, loop, linear // options: duration, loop, times n, delay 1s, linear | smooth | bounce, steps n, alternate, scroll (plays while scrolling)
from move 0 0 // steps: from, to, or a percentage (50%), with style options: move x y, grow, tilt, opacity, reveal 0%…100%, colors…
to move -50% 0
state tab = 0
page "/"
box card-dark, wide // several named styles on one line
row no-wrap, slide // a named animation plays on the element
text "Fresh every morning"
box card-dark (tab == 1) // a named style under a condition
text "Second tab"
Text: "An *immersive* site" → emphasis; "\n" → a new line. States from a condition: selected (tab == 1), current (route.path == "/docs"), hidden (tab != 1), open; for any other look that depends on a condition, name a style and give it the same way (style right, then button o, right (answered and o == q.answer)). Tabs and filters are a state, buttons that set it and selected: button "Pasta", selected (tab == "pasta") -> tab = "pasta". Layout: grid columns 2 1 (unequal), gap 24 56, pin bottom 0 right 20 (over its parent; front on the same line brings it in front of the rest), middle (in the middle of its row or grid line: a text next to a tall photo), margin 0 0 0 auto (pushed to the right of its row), margin auto 0 0 0 (pushed to the bottom of its column: the button of a card), sticky 96, border-top 2 black, clip, no-wrap, plain (no underline), grain (paper texture; on the site style: the whole page). Site style: radius 24, max-width 1400 set the radius and the width of the whole site. Elements: details "Question?" (opens on click, content below), embed "url", "title" (another page inside), logo "mark.svg" "Name".
Interactions: -> action on the line (click; submit for a form; input for a field), or a child line on click -> …, on hover -> …, on load -> …, on scroll -> …. An action is one line or an indented block after ->. open menu / close menu / toggle menu set a true/false state. go "/page" changes page.
Conditions and loops in a page: if, else if, else, for … in … produce UI and update by themselves. A condition is a line of its own, with the element indented below — never an option of the element.
Data: products = await load "/api/products" in a page does not block the display; the list fills in when the data arrives.
Content in files (a blog, a list of products, the texts of the site): Markdown and YAML files next to the site, read at build time. Adding an entry is adding a file: nothing to change in the code. The fields are those written in the files (title, date… at the top of a Markdown file, between two --- lines); a field read in the code that no file has gets a warning with the one meant.
import posts from "./content/posts/*.md" // a list: one entry per file (its front matter, plus slug, body, created, updated)
import about from "./content/about.yaml" // one object
page "/blog"
section
title "Blog of {about.name}"

Components:

text name, bold
style shadow soft, hover lift 4
page "/"
Card "Strawberry" "strawberry.png"
Name starts with a capital letter. Parameters in order, without parentheses and without names: Card p.name, p.photo. What is indented under a call goes where slot is.
Form:
state sent = false
page "/"
form -> sent = true
field email "Your email", type email, required, label "Email"
select size "S", "M", "L", label "Size"
checkbox agree "I agree to the terms"
button "Send"
if sent
text "Thanks {email}, size {size}!"
The first word of a field is the state it fills (email, size, agree), created when it does not exist.
Form sent by e-mail: form mail "hello@bloom.ch" sends every field to that address, then runs the -> action (subject "New order" optional). kaury dev shows the e-mail in the terminal; to really send, set KAURY_MAIL_KEY (a free resend.com key) on the host or in .env. kaury build writes the endpoint for Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages and PHP hosts (dist/api/kaury-mail.php; on an FTP host the key goes in kaury-mail-key.txt next to the site's folder). The address never appears in the page.
state sent = false
page "/"
form mail "hello@bloom.ch", subject "New request" -> sent = true
field name "Your name", required, label "Name"
field email "you@example.com", type email, required, label "Email"
textarea message "Your message", required, label "Message"
button "Send"
Ready-made blocks (nothing to import; a component of the same name written in the site replaces one). Prefer them for usual sections. A block with a heading is the section named after it (Pricing plans, "Prices" → #prices, found by links Prices); Contact is #contact, the default target of buttons.
| Block | Values | Items |
|---|---|---|
Hero |
heading, intro, action, href, picture | |
Features |
items, heading | { icon, title, text } |
Steps |
items, heading | { title, text } (numbered) |
Stats |
items | { value, label } |
Table |
rows, columns, heading | rows: your list as it is; columns: { label, field, format, align } (format: "price", "date" or "number"; align: "right" for figures). A real <table>; a click on a column sorts by it, a second click the other way |
Chart |
items, heading, unit, scale | { label, value }: bars, the tallest one fills the height; unit is written after each figure (" CHF", " %"); scale is the value of a full bar, to give when two lists must be compared (a switch between two years) |

A block is written at the level of the sections (it is one), not inside a section. Its last values can be left out; a value in the middle that you do not want is "" (Chart months, "", " CHF").
Figures: a table and a chart are blocks too, fed by the lists you already have (a let made from a state with .filter gives a table or a chart that follows that state: a switch between two years is one state).
let gifts = [{ date: "2026-10-10", donor: "Claire D.", amount: 120 }, { date: "2026-10-08", donor: "Anonymous", amount: 50 }]
let months = [{ label: "Jan", value: 1850 }, { label: "Feb", value: 1420 }, { label: "Mar", value: 2360 }]
page "/"
Chart months, "Donations per month", " CHF"
Table gifts, [{ label: "Date", field: "date", format: "date" }, { label: "Donor", field: "donor" }, { label: "Amount", field: "amount", format: "price", align: "right" }], "Latest donations"
Theme colors (follow the site): accent (first site color), on-accent (text on it), ink (text), muted (soft text), line (borders). Fonts: font "text" and font "titles" are the two fonts of the site, the first and the second name of its fonts line; font "mono" is the one of code. Titles take the second by themselves.
4. Immersion
Levels: a touch (one object alone in a page), a scene (scene with decor, light, camera), a universe (the whole site). An object can be 2D (.png .jpg .webp .svg), animated 2D (.json Lottie), 3D (.glb .gltf, Meshopt/Draco compressed accepted) or a built-in shape, with no file: object "knot", color pink, metal (sphere, cube, torus, knot, cone, cylinder, capsule, gem, pyramid; materials metal, matte, glass, glow). The code is the same.
page "/"
scene home, fullscreen, particles bubbles // particles stars|snow|bubbles|dust|confetti
light studio // studio|soft|sunset|night|neon|day|dramatic
camera follows mouse // fixed|follows mouse|fly|free|orbit
object can "crush.glb", size 1.2, position 2 0 0, alt "A can of Crush", fallback "can.png"
spin on scroll // also: spin, spin 90/s, spin slow, spin x
follows mouse, smooth
on click -> jump
character mascot "mascot.glb", alt "The mascot" // object with named animations
enters from right // left|right|top|bottom|fade|zoom
says "Hi!"
on click -> play "dance"
title "Taste the difference" // the content of a scene goes in front of the 3D
Motions (child line = permanent; after -> = once): spin, float, jump, pulse, sway, follows mouse, enters from …, parallax 0.3, says "text", play "animation". Modifiers: smooth, slow, fast, reverse. Target a named object: -> jump can.
Where things are: the content of a scene is laid out like that of a section, in front of the 3D; an object stands in the middle unless position moves it. On a wide screen, x from about -3.5 to 3.5 and y from -2 to 2 are in view (position 2 0 0: to the right of a text on the left); on a phone an object on the side comes back toward the middle by itself.
Object options: size, position x y z, rotation x y z, height (single object), fallback "image.png" (when the device cannot do 3D), shadows, alt "description" (accessibility and Google), animation "name" (character), immediate. Scene options: height, background, fog, ground, particles, immediate.
Sound: sound "ambient.mp3", loop, volume 0.4 (a mute button appears by itself); as an action: -> sound "click.mp3".
Automatic rules: the 3D loads only on pages that contain it, when it becomes visible, after the page is displayed and the visitor's first gesture (add immediate to skip the wait); until then a built-in shape shows its silhouette, drawn by the page in its color, at its size and at its place, and a model file shows its fallback picture (give one: it is also what a device without 3D shows); the HTML content exists before the 3D; reduced motion is respected; on a narrow screen the camera steps back.
5. Golden rules for correct Kaury
- A UI element always starts a line; its options are separated by commas:
title "Hello", size 80, pink. - For a value to change on screen, declare it with
state(or let an assignmentx = …in the page create it). - Files (images,
.glb, sounds) go inpublic/and are written without/:"photo.jpg". ==compares,=stores. Aletis never assigned again; when what it is made from reads a state, it follows that state.- Inside a UI line, a function is called with parentheses:
