What is AML (Agent Machine Language), and what does its compiler do?
DIRECT ANSWER
AML (Agent Machine Language) describes agent work as declarative blocks such as mission, intent, capability and memory, with typed steps piped by →. The AML v1 compiler in this repo parses and validates source, builds a deterministic intent graph and hashes the source. It never executes AML or calls tools. Token savings over Python or JavaScript have not been measured, so none are claimed.
What does the live preview below measure?
It sends your source to POST /api/aml/compile and shows the result, including a simple lexer token count of the input you typed. That number counts AML lexer tokens; it is not an LLM tokenizer count and is not compared with any other language.
