Product Principles

  • Local by default: indexing and querying work without a hosted service.
  • Evidence first: results identify the source file and line where possible.
  • Bounded context: tools return focused context instead of whole-repository dumps.
  • One index, multiple interfaces: use Atlas through CLI, MCP, or the local HTTP service.

Current Release

Use GitHub Releases as the version source of truth. Release archives include checksums and per-archive SBOMs.

The primary Atlas product documentation is mirrored in this Wiki. Benchmark data remains available in the benchmark explorer and public data directory. Read Benchmarks and Methodology before comparing results.
