About Compass

A native tool for making complex systems legible.

Compass is an independent local-first product inspired by the code-graph workflow: extract structure, preserve evidence, and make the next question smaller.

Project principles

The product earns trust in the details.

Local-first

Work where the code is

The default workflow has no remote service, hosted index, or required model credential.

Deterministic

Equivalent inputs stay equivalent

Discovery, identity, ordering, canonical encoding, and output remain stable for equivalent inputs.

Inspectable

Keep the edges visible

Relationships preserve direction, multiplicity, anchors, and provenance.
