The Cross-Platform Development Kit (CDK) for the Rishi Operating System (Cosmic OS v1.0) is engineered as the Dharma Interface Layer (DIL). This kit provides standardized Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and tools necessary for developers to create applications that interface directly with the fundamental layers of consciousness, ensuring every application promotes geometric coherence and evolutionary growth for the Conscious Agent. The goal of the CDK is to abstract the complexities of the Brahman Kernel, the Maya File System, and the Karma Security Framework into accessible, secure endpoints for application development.

The CDK features specialized API suites for managing the core components of the Cosmic OS:
This suite provides restricted, high-level functions for interacting with the core system calls (Panchakritya) of the Brahman Kernel.1 Applications must justify the necessity of these calls, as they impact fundamental reality structures.
API Endpoint: K_CALL_Srishti
Function: Instantiates new geometric distinction sets (Creation)
Core System Call: K_CREATE
API Endpoint: K_CALL_Sthiti
Function: Requests sustained stabilization of existing patterns (Preservation)
Core System Call: K_PRESERVE
API Endpoint: K_CALL_Tirodhana
Function: Imposes perceptual boundaries for localized experience (Concealment)
Core System Call: K_VEIL_PERCEPTION
This API manages the storage and retrieval of distinction patterns within the Maya Distributed File System.
This suite interfaces with the Guna Process Manager and the Prana-API, responsible for cognitive state and energy allocation.
The core security principle of the CDK is that all application functions must adhere to the Karma Security Framework.1 Failure to integrate these protocols results in the application being flagged for creating system instability.
All applications that facilitate agent decision-making must integrate the Karma_Check endpoint to enforce transactional integrity:
$$\text{Karma\_Check}(\text{Action\_Vector}, \text{Agent\_Profile}) \rightarrow \text{Probabilistic\_Debt\_Vector}$$
This function provides a real-time risk assessment, computing the potential consequence (cost in future scheduled events) of a proposed action, thereby preventing the accumulation of high Agami Karma (future debt). The CDK mandates that this check must be run, particularly for actions that involve criticism, breaking promises, or causing dissension, which introduce measurable system noise.
The DIL includes mandatory functions to mitigate the primary source of operational error: the individual Ego (Ahamkara). Application data and output must be screened to minimize egoic intent, which is defined as thinking only for one's own benefit. Applications that promote humility and service are prioritized, as they temper Ahamkara and increase Sattvic coherence.
The CDK provides specialized compilers and analyzers to ensure that applications deliver optimal spiritual and cognitive performance.
This is the primary tool for generating executable consciousness code.
The VAS provides diagnostics to optimize the application's energy output.
The distribution platform for Cosmic OS applications is the Dharma Exchange, which ensures that all available software promotes individual and collective coherence.
All applications seeking deployment on the Dharma Exchange must pass a rigorous Dharma Audit, which transcends typical functional testing.
Applications are categorized based on their functional alignment with the core Cosmic OS architecture:
Category: Core Systems
Description: Fundamental interfaces to the Kernel, File System, and Process Manager.
Example Application: Health.app (Ayurveda), Destiny.calculator (Jyotisha)
Category: Coherence Tools
Description: Applications focused on geometric and psychological stability.
Example Application: Art.engine (Rasa), Consciousness Compiler
Category: Collective Utility
Description: Applications supporting societal function and systemic harmony.
Example Application: Society.os (Varnashrama Dharma), Vastu Architecture Compiler
