Spath and Splan (sumato.ai) AI

The post argues that AI coding agents should interact with code using semantic “narratives” rather than filesystem rituals. It introduces Spath (a symbol-addressing format) and Splan (a minimal grammar for batched code-change intentions), claiming they reduce filesystem operations and improve agent efficiency and reliability via transactional edits. Sumato AI says it is open-sourcing the Spath and Splan grammars and provides an example Spath dialect for Go.
