Methodology

Everything is a mod

ModTrick’s product is a portable architecture: packages with ASEC contracts, games as ModRuntime hosts, and docs that teach humans and coding agents the same law.

Law: If it ships in the game, it is a mod. If it is a mod, it has ASEC. If it has ASEC, ModRuntime can load it. If ModRuntime can load it, this site can teach it.
