Atlas

Atlas sets how a repository is worked on. It is one Claude Code plugin with:

1. The lead, atlas:lead: the talk rules, the routing and the command list. A repo's entry file says to follow it in every session.
2. The rulebook, atlas:sdlc-task: start, pause, resume, lock and finish one piece of work. Three more skills: repo-skills adds a procedure the right way, learnings turns a miss into one fix, and feedback files an issue.
3. Eight crews: a code reader, a capability reader, three design reviewers (architect, product, security), a page renderer, a reviewer of test words, and the verifier that proves a pull request.
4. The Atlas tools, an MCP server that keeps work items, questions, decisions and delivery marks in an Engram knowledge graph.
5. The atlas command: check a repository's Atlas files, write the check into it, measure a page against the STE limits, and install or upgrade Atlas itself.
6. The repo check, a file each repository copies so that its CI can check its instruction files with no Atlas install.

Install

Run this once, in a terminal:

npx @arjunkhera/atlas install

It shows what it will change, and asks first. Then open Claude Code, run /plugin, choose atlas, and set the Engram connection: your Engram address and key, separated by one space.

Check it with atlas doctor. Upgrade with atlas upgrade.

Requirements

Node 22 or later, Claude Code, and gh for the tools that read GitHub.
