To give some context:
Moonstone is currently under heavy, messy(getting better with time), active development. As I build various Lua + Zig projects with it, API contracts, CLI routes + flags, and configurations are constantly shifting. Using AI co-authoring has been a bit of a survival mechanism to ensure the documentation doesn't fall completely out of sync with the codebase. That said, AI authored docs can definitely feel dry to the eye, and/or verbose. If you or anyone else would like to help prune, rewrite, or polish the documentation to make it read more naturally, I would be incredibly grateful for the help!
I try not to be negative, but this software seems bizarre. It's a Lua meta manager written in Zig, that calls itself cross platform (Linux / MacOS only), and depends on external gnu build tools, not even the native Zig portable retargeting llvm.
LLMs are usually too busy agreeing to push back on the ideas & details like this.
More than one platform, different arch/ABI qualify as cross-platform, it is not stated as omni-platform... Zig CC (LLVM backed) is widely used across for materializing first-class C modules. It aims to leverage the Lua ecosystem then it is expected to rely on GNU tools for building legacy, already upstream and stablished LuaRocks packages, i.e. makefiles, or GCC dependent recipes. That is a pragmatic compatibility choice to use the existing Lua ecosystem out-of-the-box, while it is encouraged the use of moonstone native hermetic recipes (which rely on zig cc).

Used it for world of warcraft scripting and openresty http rules, that’s a wide range.
We want to streamline lua DX, so it feels easy, and natural.
Notable mention: Lux, which can be used along moonstone.
