This is a collection of Gleam projects that serve as emulations of distributed protocols. Gleam is a type-safe functional language that runs on the Erlang/OTP virtual machine (BEAM).

Current sub-projects

The repo currently contains two Gleam projects:

  • tutorial-vars/ — A project called "vars" that depends on gleam_stdlib, gleam_otp, envoy, and argv.
  • otp_test/ — A project called "otp_test" that depends on gleam_stdlib, gleam_otp, and gleam_erlang.

Both use gleeunit for testing and target the Erlang/OTP runtime.

Purpose

The goal is to produce clean, understandable emulations of distributed protocols — prioritizing clarity over performance. Each sub-project is a standalone Gleam project with its own gleam.toml and source files.

Tooling

The repo includes custom Claude Code skills (in .claude/skills/) for:

  • create-emulation.md — Creating new emulation projects
  • gleam-otp.md — Working with Gleam OTP patterns
  • jujutsu.md — Version control workflows

Create a new emulation project that contains two types of processes: a key-value server process that stores data in a hash map; and a client that interacts with the key-value server. Both key and value should be strings, and the server should allow clients to put new key-value pairs, get the value for an existing key or delete an existing key. Trying to use put with an existing key should return an error. The client when started should take the key-value store's Subject as an input, and then send out 10 requests (randomly chosen to be get or put) before exiting. Please put each actor's logic in its own Gleam file.

     2→name: Creating a distributed system emulation
     3→description: This is a recipe for how to build a distributed system emulation in Gleam given a human description. 
     4→
     5→
     6→## Overview
     7→In this environment we use Gleam for emulation. The goal is to produce a version that can be executed and help explain how the protocol (i.e., the algorithm implemented by the system) runs.
     8→
     9→Each type of process (or node or server, I tend to use the same word for all of them) is implemented as a Gleam actor. The Gleam OTP skill that accompanies this can help write the code. Do not try to optimize the code, but be sure to use comments to document the logic of each actor, and use print statements to record the execution of each actor. 
    10→
    11→Once code for all types of processes has been written, change the main function to take a configuration file (in TOML) that specifies how many nodes of each type to start and then runs them to produce an execution schedule.
    12→
    13→Finally, use the appropriate version control system to add a commit for the emulation.
    14→
    15→## Writing a new emulation
    16→
    17→Use instructions from the gleam-otp skill.
    18→
    19→## Version Control
    20→
    21→Check if the root directory contains a `.jj` directory. If so, the project is managed using Jujutsu, and the accompanying jujutsu skill to manage things.
    22→
    23→If on the other hand the root directory contains a `.git` directory (but no `.jj` directory) use git.

    26→## Actor Pattern with gleam_otp
    27→
    28→### Basic Actor Structure
    29→
    30→```gleam
    31→import gleam/otp/actor
    32→import gleam/erlang/process.{type Subject}
    33→
    34→// 1. Define state type
    35→pub type State {
    36→  State(value: Int, self: Subject(Message))
    37→}
    38→
    39→// 2. Define message type
    40→pub type Message {
    41→  Set(value: Int)                      // Fire-and-forget
    42→  Get(reply_with: Subject(Int))        // Request-response
    43→}
    44→
    45→// 3. Implement handler
    46→fn handle_message(state: State, message: Message) -> actor.Next(State, Message) {
    47→  case message {
    48→    Set(value) -> actor.continue(State(..state, value: value))
    49→    Get(client) -> {
    50→      process.send(client, state.value)
    51→      actor.continue(state)
    52→    }
    53→  }
    54→}
    55→
    56→// 4. Start function
    57→pub fn start() -> Result(Subject(Message), actor.StartError) {
    58→  actor.new_with_initialiser(1000, fn(self) {
    59→    actor.initialised(State(value: 0, self: self))
    60→    |> actor.returning(self)
    61→    |> Ok
    62→  })
    63→  |> actor.on_message(handle_message)
    64→  |> actor.start
    65→  |> result.map(fn(started) { started.data })
    66→}
    67→```
    68→
    69→### Key Patterns
    70→
    71→**Fire-and-forget message:**
    72→```gleam
    73→pub fn set(subject: Subject(Message), value: Int) -> Nil {
    74→  actor.send(subject, Set(value))
    75→}
    76→```
    77→
    78→**Request-response (blocking call):**
    79→```gleam
    80→pub fn get(subject: Subject(Message)) -> Int {
    81→  actor.call(subject, 1000, Get)  // 1000ms timeout
    82→}
    83→```
    84→
    85→**Self-messaging (for periodic tasks):**
    86→```gleam
    87→// In initialiser or handler:
    88→process.send_after(state.self, 100, Sync)  // Send Sync message after 100ms
    89→```
    90→
    91→**Capturing self reference:**
    92→Use `actor.new_with_initialiser` instead of `actor.new` to get access to the actor's own Subject in the initialiser callback.
    93→
    94→### Handler Return Values
    95→
    96→- `actor.continue(new_state)` - Keep running with new state
    97→- `actor.stop()` - Stop the actor gracefully
    98→
    99→### Common Imports

   112→Test functions must end with `_test` suffix:
   113→
   114→```gleam
   115→import gleeunit
   116→
   117→pub fn main() -> Nil {
   118→  gleeunit.main()
   119→}
   120→

   123→}
   124→```
   125→
   126→## Common Patterns in This Codebase
   127→
   128→### Peer-to-peer Synchronization
   129→
   130→Servers maintain a list of peers and periodically broadcast their state:
   131→
   132→```gleam
   133→Sync -> {
   134→  list.each(state.peers, fn(peer) {
   135→    process.send(peer, Set(state.value))
   136→  })
   137→  process.send_after(state.self, 100, Sync)
   138→  actor.continue(state)
   139→}
   140→```
   141→
   142→### Convergence Check
   143→
   144→Poll until all actors have the same value:
   145→
   146→```gleam
   147→fn wait_for_convergence(servers: List(Subject(Message))) -> Nil {
   148→  let values = list.map(servers, get)
   149→  case values {
   150→    [first, ..rest] -> {
   151→      let all_same = list.all(rest, fn(v) { v == first })
   152→      case all_same && first > 0 {
   153→        True -> io.println("Converged!")
   154→        False -> {
   155→          process.sleep(100)
   156→          wait_for_convergence(servers)
   157→        }
   158→      }
   159→    }
   160→    [] -> Nil
   161→  }
   162→}
   163→```
   164→
   165→## Gleam Syntax Quick Reference
   166→
   167→**Pattern matching:**
   168→```gleam
   169→case value {
   170→  Some(x) -> x
   171→  None -> 0
   172→}
   173→```
   174→
   175→**Record update:**
   176→```gleam
   177→State(..state, value: new_value)
   178→```
   179→
   180→**Pipe operator:**
   181→```gleam
   182→value
   183→|> transform1
   184→|> transform2
   185→```
   186→
   187→**Assert (panics on failure):**
   188→```gleam
   189→let assert Ok(result) = maybe_fails()
   190→```
   191→
   192→**List operations:**
   193→```gleam
   194→list.map(items, fn(x) { x + 1 })
   195→list.each(items, fn(x) { io.println(x) })
   196→list.all(items, fn(x) { x > 0 })
   197→list.flat_map(items, fn(x) { [x, x] })
   198→```
   199→

$ Bash
Format code and check for version control

Exit code 1
ls: /Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/.git: No such file or directory
/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/.jj

The project uses Jujutsu for version control. Let me read the jujutsu skill and create a commit.

Read
{
  "file_path": "/Users/apanda/code/agent-spec-code/.claude/skills/jujutsu.md"
}
     1→# Jujutsu (jj) Version Control
     2→
     3→**Version:** 0.35.0 (as of March 2026)
     4→
     5→> **Note:** Jujutsu is under active development. Commands and behavior may change between versions. Check `jj --version` and `jj <command> --help` if something doesn't work as expected.
     6→
     7→## Key Differences from Git
     8→
     9→- Working copy is automatically snapshotted on every command
    10→- No staging area - all changes are part of the working copy commit
    11→- Commits are identified by change IDs (stable) and commit IDs (change with rewrites)
    12→- The `@` symbol refers to the current working copy commit
    13→- `@-` refers to the parent of the working copy
    14→
    15→## Common Commands
    16→
    17→### Status and History
    18→
    19→```sh
    20→jj status              # Show working copy changes
    21→jj log                 # Show commit history
    22→jj log --limit 5       # Show last 5 commits
    23→jj diff                # Show changes in working copy
    24→jj diff -r @-          # Show changes in parent commit
    25→```
    26→
    27→### Creating Commits
    28→
    29→```sh
    30→jj commit -m "message"           # Commit working copy with message
    31→jj describe -m "message"         # Set/change description of current commit
    32→jj new                           # Create new empty commit on top of current
    33→jj new -m "message"              # Create new commit with message
    34→```
    35→
    36→### File Operations
    37→
    38→**IMPORTANT:** File operations use `jj file` subcommand, not top-level commands.
    39→
    40→```sh
    41→jj file list                     # List tracked files
    42→jj file track <path>             # Start tracking a file
    43→jj file untrack <path>           # Stop tracking a file (keeps file on disk)
    44→jj file untrack 'glob/**'        # Untrack files matching glob pattern
    45→```
    46→
    47→> **Gotcha:** There is no `jj untrack` - you must use `jj file untrack`.
    48→
    49→### Restoring and Reverting
    50→
    51→```sh
    52→jj restore <path>                # Restore file to parent commit state
    53→jj restore --from @- <path>      # Restore from specific revision
    54→```
    55→
    56→### Branches and Bookmarks
    57→
    58→```sh
    59→jj bookmark list                 # List bookmarks (jj's term for branches)
    60→jj bookmark create <name>        # Create bookmark at current commit
    61→jj bookmark set <name>           # Move bookmark to current commit
    62→```
    63→
    64→### Working with History
    65→
    66→```sh
    67→jj squash                        # Squash current commit into parent
    68→jj edit <revision>               # Edit an earlier commit
    69→jj rebase -d <destination>       # Rebase current commit onto destination
    70→```
    71→
    72→## Commit Message Format
    73→
    74→Use heredoc for multi-line messages:
    75→
    76→```sh
    77→jj commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
    78→Short summary line
    79→
    80→Longer description here.
    81→Can be multiple paragraphs.
    82→
    83→Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
    84→EOF
    85→)"
    86→```
    87→
    88→## Useful Revsets
    89→
    90→```sh
    91→jj log -r @              # Current commit only
    92→jj log -r @-             # Parent of current
    93→jj log -r @--            # Grandparent
    94→jj log -r "heads()"      # All head commits
    95→jj log -r "root()..@"    # All commits from root to current
    96→```
    97→
    98→## Common Workflows
    99→
   100→### Adding .gitignore After Build Artifacts Exist
   101→
   102→1. Create `.gitignore` with patterns
   103→2. Untrack the files that should be ignored:
   104→   ```sh
   105→   jj file untrack 'build/**'
   106→   ```
   107→3. Commit the changes

Add kv_store emulation: key-value server with client actors

A KV server actor stores string key-value pairs in a dict, supporting
put (rejects duplicates), get, and delete operations. Client actors
send 10 random get/put requests to the server. Main starts one server
and three clients to demonstrate the interaction.

Parent commit (@-)      : kslzykwl 2fa07d36 Add kv_store emulation: key-value server with client actors

Done. Here's what was created:

kv_store/ project structure

  • src/kv_store/server.gleam — KV server actor that stores Dict(String, String). Handles three message types:
  • Put — inserts a key-value pair, returns OpError if the key already exists
  • Get — returns the value or an error if the key is not found
  • Delete — removes a key or returns an error if not found

  • src/kv_store/client.gleam — Client actor that takes the server's Subject at startup. Sends 10 randomly chosen get or put requests (using a small pool of 5 keys to trigger collisions), then stops.

  • src/kv_store.gleam — Main entry point that starts 1 server and 3 clients, kicks them off, and waits for completion.

Can you change the kv_store main entry point so that it allows me to specify number of clients from the command line.

Works. You can now run it with gleam run -- <num_clients> (defaults to 3 if no argument is given).

Can you explain the logic used in the server code.

Here's how the server works:

State

The server holds two things: a Dict(String, String) (the key-value store) and a self reference (its own Subject, not currently used but available for self-messaging patterns). It starts with an empty dict.

Message protocol

All three message types (Put, Get, Delete) follow the request-response pattern — each carries a reply_with subject that the server sends the result back on. This is what makes actor.call work: the caller blocks until the server sends a reply.

Handler logic

Put (lines 31-48): Checks if the key already exists via dict.has_key. If it does, the put is rejected and an OpError is sent back — the state is unchanged. If the key is new, it's inserted with dict.insert, and the server continues with the updated store.

Get (lines 51-63): Looks up the key with dict.get, which returns a Result. On Ok(value) it sends the value back; on Error it sends an error string. Either way, the state doesn't change.

Delete (lines 65-79): Same guard pattern as Put — checks dict.has_key first. If found, removes it with dict.delete and continues with the new store. If not found, returns OpError with the state unchanged.

Concurrency model

Because this is an OTP actor, messages are processed one at a time from a mailbox queue. Even with multiple clients sending requests concurrently, there are no race conditions — each Put/Get/Delete sees a consistent snapshot of the dict, and state updates are applied sequentially.

Public API (lines 96-109)

The put, get, and delete functions are convenience wrappers around actor.call with a 1-second timeout. They construct the appropriate message with a placeholder _ for the reply subject (which actor.call fills in automatically).
