Skode Skript

Automations that read like English.

A real language — variables, data types, loops, and functions — that stays a sentence. Write .skript files in any editor, run them locally, deploy them to Skode.

The whole language in five lines

when a new lead arrives
  score it with ai
  if score is hot then
    assign to "Maya" and reply on whatsapp
      "Thanks! We'll call you in 10 minutes 👋"

skript run lead-autopilot.skript

● event: lead.created     → name: Ada Lovelace · phone: +1 555 0100 …
⚡ score it with ai        → score 79 · HOT (signals: phone, email, budget)
✓ if score is hot         → yes
→ assign to "Maya"        → lead assigned
💬 reply on whatsapp       → "Thanks! We'll call you in 10 minutes 👋"
✔ done in 1.8ms — 1 message · assigned to Maya

Variables

Named containers — one namespace with the event's own fields.

set counter to 0
increase counter by 1
set greeting to "Hi " + name

Data types

Numbers, strings, booleans — and lists, made with commas.

set total to budget * 2 + 50
set vip to true
set channels to "whatsapp", "email"

Control structures

if / otherwise, plus three loops. while is capped at 1000 — typos can't hang anything.

repeat 3 times
for each ch in channels
while counter is below 5

Functions

Define once with “to …”, call it as a plain sentence — order-free.

to welcome the lead
  reply on whatsapp "Welcome {name}! 👋"
welcome the lead   # ← the call

Syntax

Indentation is structure. One statement per line, “and” chains, # comments, {field} interpolation.

# reads like English, runs like code
add tag "vip" and log "tagged {name}"

The Skode Skript Tutorial — the whole language, properly

A 51-page book in the tradition of the great language tutorials: 17 chapters, an 11-recipe cookbook, a formal reference, a glossary, and a coming-from-other-languages translation table. Every example was executed against the real interpreter at build time — the outputs printed are the outputs produced.
