How to use Kill Switch: what you can do with it

What is Kill Switch? KillSwitch is an esoteric programming language, with its specification and reference Rust implementation, designed to be hard for LLMs and coding agents to generate or modify.

How do I use it? Clone the repo from https://github.com/dom96/KillSwitch and open a terminal in the repo folder; then run cargo install --path . to install the killswitch command; run killswitch run tests/fizzbuzz.ks to execute the example. Full steps below.

4 use cases

  • Run a Kill Switch program from the command line

    Install the reference interpreter and run the bundled fizzbuzz.ks example.

    View prompt
    In the dom96/KillSwitch repo, build the project with cargo and run `cargo run -- run <path to a .ks file>`, using tests/fizzbuzz.ks if no path is given. Report the printed output and any error text. Verify that the process exits without an error.

  • Check whether two words are anagrams

    Use the built-in anagram command to test word pairs from a terminal.

    View prompt
    Using the dom96/KillSwitch repo, run `cargo run -- anagram <word1> <word2>` for each pair in <word pair list>. Report the line the command prints for each pair. Verify that every reported result matches the letter counts of the two words.

  • Run the Kill Switch test suite after a code change

    Run cargo test to confirm the interpreter still passes its tests, with output for eval tests.

    View prompt
    In the dom96/KillSwitch repo, run `cargo test` and then `cargo test eval::tests -- --show-output`. Report the pass and fail counts and the names of any failing tests. Verify that no test fails before you suggest any commit.

  • Read the Kill Switch spec and LLM benchmark results

    Review the language specification and the LLM benchmark site to compare how models handle Kill Switch tasks.

    View prompt
    Read SPEC.md in the dom96/KillSwitch repo and the benchmark results at https://bench.killswitch-lang.org. Summarize the main language rules and list the models and scores the benchmark shows for <task type>. Verify that each claim you report is written on the spec or benchmark pages.

Quick start with Kill Switch

  1. Check you have what it needs: A Rust toolchain with cargo installed; A terminal with access to the repo's files (clone of github.com/dom96/KillSwitch); A web browser for reading SPEC.md and the benchmarks site, if you use those use cases.
  2. Open dom96/KillSwitch on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Clone the repo from https://github.com/dom96/KillSwitch and open a terminal in the repo folder.
  4. Run cargo install --path . to install the killswitch command.
  5. Run killswitch run tests/fizzbuzz.ks to execute the example.
  6. If you did not install it, run cargo run -- run tests/fizzbuzz.ks instead.

These steps come from our top use case, Run a Kill Switch program from the command line, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
