ROOTDRIFTER//DRIFTDECK

Local-first pipelines. Your machine. Your keys. Your control.

DRIFTDECK is the management suite comprising the Splice video module and the Quill document module — local-first pipelines built for practitioners who keep their assets on their own hardware. No cloud processing, no upload gates, no hosted inference. Your files stay on your machine; DRIFTDECK gives you the tools.

Application Composer

Rank opportunities, compose the application, send by hand.

A local-first word processor for applications. It keeps a ranked, de-duplicated log of opportunities fed from your own files, then composes and renders drafts from your corpus and templates — deterministically, offline, with identity placeholders left unfilled until you send by hand. Dry-run is the default; nothing is sent automatically.

  • Status: Live
  • Status panel — token-gated; the composer itself runs on your own machine.

Video Assembler

Cut, proxy, assemble and render — originals never touched.

A local video-assembly orchestrator. It turns an edit list into a reviewable trim plan, assembles and renders low-resolution proxies, and keeps an append-only run ledger with refusals recorded at the same weight as passes. Original recordings are never modified; every step is dry-run first and prints the exact command it would run.

  • Status: Staged
  • Runs on your own machine — no web surface yet.

Open market

// how to list yours

The open market lists open-source utilities made by fellow drifters. To list yours: publish the source under an open licence, write a module manifest (see the manifest spec), and send the link through the contact page. Listings are reviewed by hand before they appear.

The manifest spec is not published yet; it will live at https://rootdrifter.io/deck/manifest/

Status boards

// console

Console Suite

Cross-module status board — latest run verdicts and the append-only output ledger, refusals kept with the same weight as passes.

Local-first by design

// principle

Both modules share a single principle: the deterministic core runs entirely on your hardware. Masters, documents, and provenance records never leave your storage unless you explicitly export them. The suite ships the tools; the processing is always yours.

BYO-AI — optional, fully self-directed

The deterministic core of each tool needs no AI. If you want AI-assisted features, the pipeline accepts three connection patterns — all operator-controlled, none hosted by DRIFTDECK:

// option A

MCP server

Connect your own Claude instance via the Model Context Protocol. You supply the session; the tool exposes the interface.

// option B

API key

Bring your own API key for any supported provider. Calls go directly from your machine to the provider — no relay, no proxy.

// option C

Local models

Point the tool at a local model endpoint. No external network required — fully air-gapped operation is supported.
