# KBot

> KBot inspects and transforms Total Annihilation and TA: Kingdoms game files, pairing a Go CLI with a proprietary format reference. It decompiles COB bytecode to BOS source, disassembles scripts, checks round trips and examines formats including HPI archives, GAF sprites, TNT maps and 3DO models.
