Silk is a mod loader for Spiderheck that allows you to easily install and manage mods for the game. It's designed to be easy to use, and it's designed to be as compatible as possible with other modding tools.
In order to load mods, you need a mod loader. This one was made beacause Modweaver is a great tool for modding Spiderheck, but it's not without its issues. Modweaver is a bit of a black box, and it can be difficult to get it to work. Additionally, Modweaver is "outdated", and it can lead to mods that are not very compatible with each other. Silk is a more lightweight alternative to Modweaver. It's designed to be easy to use, and it's designed to be as compatible as possible with other mods.
Silk works by patching the Spiderheck executable at runtime. It does this by using the Harmony library, which is a library for patching .NET assemblies at runtime.

- Mod loading: Silk can load mods.
