# Surrealism -- WASM Extensions for SurrealDB

New in SurrealDB 3. Write custom functions in Rust, compile them to WebAssembly
(WASM), and deploy them as native database modules callable from SurrealQL.

## Prerequisites

- Rust toolchain (stable) with `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target
- SurrealDB CLI v3.0.0+ (`surreal` binary with `surreal module` subcommand)
- Familiarity with SurrealQL `DEFINE MODULE` and `DEFINE BUCKET`

## Development Workflow

```
1. Annotate   -- surrealism.toml + #[surrealism] on Rust functions
2. Compile    -- surreal module compile  (produces .wasm binary)
3. Register   -- DEFINE BUCKET + DEFINE MODULE in SurrealQL
```

## Quick Start

```bash
# Create a new Surrealism project
cargo new --lib my_extension
cd my_extension

# Add the WASM target
rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown

# Create surrealism.toml (required manifest)
cat > surrealism.toml << 'TOML'
[package]
name = "my_extension"
version = "0.1.0"
TOML

# Write your extension (annotate with #[surrealism])
cat > src/lib.rs << 'RUST'
use surrealism::surrealism;

#[surrealism]
fn greet(name: String) -> String {
    format!("Hello, {}!", name)
}
RUST

# Compile to WASM using SurrealDB CLI
surreal module compile

# Register in SurrealDB
surreal sql --endpoint http://localhost:8000 --user root --pass root --ns test --db test
```

```surql
-- Grant access to the WASM file
DEFINE BUCKET my_bucket;

-- Register the module functions
DEFINE MODULE my_extension FROM 'my_bucket:my_extension.wasm';

-- Use the function in queries
SELECT my_extension::greet('World');
```

## Use Cases

- Custom scalar functions callable from SurrealQL
- Fake/mock data generation for testing
- Domain-specific logic (language processing, quantitative finance, custom encoding)
- Access to niche Rust crate functionality too specific for core SurrealDB
- Custom analyzers for full-text search

## Status

Surrealism is actively in development and not yet stable. The API may change
between SurrealDB 3.x releases. File feedback via GitHub issues/PRs on the
[surrealdb/surrealdb](https://github.com/surrealdb/surrealdb) repository.

Workflow & Productivity

Meeting Prep

from openclaw/skills

Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
