Dippin
A domain-specific language and toolchain that replaces Graphviz DOT as the authoring format for AI pipeline workflows, giving prompts, shell scripts, model configuration and branching first-class syntax.
Dippin is a language for authoring AI pipeline workflows that keeps DOT's graph-native structure and Graphviz rendering, but fixes what its authors see as DOT's weaknesses for this purpose: multi-line prompts and shell scripts as real, unescaped blocks instead of single-line escaped strings, a typed model configuration field with validation instead of an untyped attribute, readable branching conditions instead of stringly-typed expressions, diagnostic error codes instead of silently ignored typos, and explicit agent, tool and human node keywords instead of overloading node shapes.
A workflow is authored as a file with human and agent steps, a start and an exit node, and Dippin can still export a pipeline to DOT for Graphviz rendering, or migrate an existing DOT pipeline into Dippin with a structural-parity check. It installs with the Go toolchain from source or with go install, and requires Go 1.21 or newer.
