artdag

Content-addressed DAG execution engine with ActivityPub ownership.

Features

• Content-addressed nodes: node_id = SHA3-256(type + config + inputs) for automatic deduplication
• Quantum-resistant hashing: SHA-3 throughout for future-proof integrity
• ActivityPub ownership: Cryptographically signed ownership claims
• Federated identity: @user@artdag.rose-ash.com style identities
• Pluggable executors: Register custom node types
• Built-in video primitives: SOURCE, SEGMENT, RESIZE, TRANSFORM, SEQUENCE, MUX, BLEND

Installation

pip install -e .

Optional: External Effect Tools

Some effects can use external tools for better performance:

Pixelsort (glitch art pixel sorting):

# Rust CLI (recommended - fast)
cargo install --git https://github.com/Void-ux/pixelsort.git pixelsort

# Or Python CLI
pip install git+https://github.com/Blotz/pixelsort-cli

Datamosh (video glitch/corruption):

# FFglitch (recommended)
./scripts/install-ffglitch.sh

# Or Python CLI
pip install git+https://github.com/tiberiuiancu/datamoshing

Check available tools:

python -m artdag.sexp.external_tools

Quick Start

from artdag import Engine, DAGBuilder, Registry
from artdag.activitypub import OwnershipManager

# Create ownership manager
manager = OwnershipManager("./my_registry")

# Create your identity
actor = manager.create_actor("alice", "Alice")
print(f"Created: {actor.handle}")  # @alice@artdag.rose-ash.com

# Register an asset with ownership
asset, activity = manager.register_asset(
    actor=actor,
    name="my_image",
    path="/path/to/image.jpg",
    tags=["photo", "art"],
)
print(f"Owned: {asset.name} (hash: {asset.content_hash})")

# Build and execute a DAG
engine = Engine("./cache")
builder = DAGBuilder()

source = builder.source(str(asset.path))
resized = builder.resize(source, width=1920, height=1080)
builder.set_output(resized)

result = engine.execute(builder.build())
print(f"Output: {result.output_path}")
