AI-Atlas features

  • Score per AI field. Assigns a score for each of six AI fields based on the code you actually wrote.
  • Live README card. One line of markdown puts your Atlas on your GitHub profile, and it updates every time you rescan.
  • Evidence behind every score. Each project score links to the files and code that support it, so you can see exactly why it scored the way it did.
  • Global & local leaderboards. Verified owners are ranked worldwide and within their country, by the evidence in their code rather than followers or stars.
  • Improvement predictor. Shows which change would raise each project’s score the most, so you know what to work on next.
  • Roadmaps and what-if scenarios. Turn a project’s evidence into a prioritized improvement roadmap, or estimate how much one specific improvement would raise its score.
  • Verified facts before judging. Before the AI reads anything, the scanner checks what can be proven: whether notebooks were actually run, whether tests import real modules and what CI really executes.
  • Fixed scoring formula. The AI only rates each project on a 7-part rubric. A fixed, published formula turns those ratings into the score, so no README can talk its way up.

Draft Canvas features

  • Offline desktop app. Runs on macOS and Windows without an account and stores diagrams locally.
  • AI agent integration. Connect Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Junie to generate diagrams from code.
  • Pattern library. Insert common architectures (CQRS, Saga, Event-Driven) with a quick shortcut.
  • Step-by-step flow presentation. Walk the room through request flows, showing notes and code per step.
  • Export options. Export as image, Mermaid, C4-PlantUML, Structurizr, draw.io or share a link.
  • Deep dive view. Press ⌘↓ to zoom into a shape for C4-depth details without leaving the canvas.
