Atlas

Atlas is where the work becomes legible. It connects each system to its pipeline stage and canonical metadata (domains, patterns, lifecycle) so you can see handoffs, overlaps, gaps, and dependencies—without relying on tribal knowledge. The goal is shared interfaces, checks, and ownership loops so systems compose cleanly, remain auditable, and are easy for humans to operate.

Atlas is not documentation for documentation’s sake. It’s a design tool. When every project is tagged to the same shared structure, we can spot duplication, standardize interfaces, reuse proven patterns, and steadily converge toward a unified toolset.

The Reality → Action trace is the operating model. We start by acquiring truth from messy sources, normalize it into durable storage, apply deterministic automation with guardrails, present the right interface to the right human, and then make the system stick through playbooks, ownership, and feedback loops.

If it exists and it’s part of the toolchain, it belongs here. Finished systems, field scripts, experiments, and one-off utilities all become more valuable when they’re connected to the same shared vocabulary.

How to use Atlas

• Start with Showcase when you need the curated narrative.
• Use Atlas Projects for the full catalog and standardized metadata.
• Navigate by Pipeline, Domains, and Patterns to find related systems.
• Use Playbooks when you need to operate or recover a system safely.

What makes an entry complete

An Atlas entry is considered complete when it includes:

• Purpose, current state, and next step.
• Inputs and outputs that define the system boundary.
• Pipeline stages, domains, and patterns for cross-linking.
• Ownership, reliability posture, and observability notes.
