Cool research! I went to the repo to see what the DSL looked like but it was hard to find a clear example. It would be cool if you added a snippet to the README.
Hi all, I built this as part of my fellowship research — it’s a tiny tool called Prune
The idea is simple: you start with a single sentence (a claim, assumption, or half-formed thought). Prune asks a gentle question, then offers branching rewrites. You prune, merge, or refine, and bit by bit your sentence gets sharper.
It’s closer to a journaling tool than a productivity app — but I’ve found it surprisingly good for surfacing hidden assumptions and clarifying ideas I thought were obvious.
Would love feedback on:
- When it feels useful vs. when it falls flat
- Features that would make it more than a toy
- Whether you’d see yourself using this for work/thinking
