# Guile Goblins Hoot Skill

**Trit**: +1 (PLUS - generative distributed computation)  
**Foundation**: Goblins + Hoot WASM + ocaps  

## Core Concept

Goblins provides:
- Capability-secure actors
- Distributed vat model
- Promise pipelining
- Hoot compiles Scheme to WASM

## Goblins Basics

```scheme
(use-modules (goblins) (goblins actor-lib))

;; Define a counter actor
(define (^counter bcom [count 0])
  (define (inc)
    (bcom (^counter bcom (+ count 1))))
  (define (get) count)
  
  (methods
   [inc inc]
   [get get]))

;; Spawn and use
(define counter (spawn ^counter))
(<- counter 'inc)
(<- counter 'get)  ; => 1
```

## Hoot WASM

```scheme
;; Compile to WebAssembly
(use-modules (hoot compile))

(compile-file "program.scm" #:output "program.wasm")
```

## GF(3) Integration

```scheme
(define (trit-from-capability cap)
  (cond
   [(verifier? cap) -1]   ; MINUS: verification cap
   [(observer? cap) 0]    ; ERGODIC: observation cap
   [(actor? cap) +1]))    ; PLUS: action cap
```
