The problem is not missing docs. It is misplaced authority.
No tool
Knowledge stays in people, chat, stale docs, and agent guesses.
Generated wiki as truth
Useful prose slowly becomes an unverified parallel source of truth.
GroundAtlas
Generated maps stay useful because canonical truth remains in source-owned files.
Built for users, developers, and agents.
Users
Open one generated map and learn what to read first.
Developers
Run deterministic CLI checks locally and in CI without model keys.
Agents
Consume JSON/Markdown maps, inspect canonical sources, then validate changes.
Vendor-neutral by design.
One project control file
Use project.manifest.json to describe identity, truth homes, surfaces, commands, and adoption state.
Adapters, not lock-in
Existing ecosystem manifests can be detected as adapters. No AI provider, agent tool, or company doctrine is required.
Open-source promise.
- Deterministic scan and audit path.
- No network or model key required for core functionality.
- Generated output is deletable and non-authoritative.
- Future AI features must cite source-owned truth.
- The published npm package is backed by provenance, registry readback, and post-publish dogfood evidence.
