Atlas

A spine that threads the context between planning, building, and shipping — without replacing the tools. (Still in the concept stage)

Atlas

OVERVIEW

Atlas is a concept for an integrated development environment built for the AI era. The goal isn't to replace tools like chat, design apps, IDEs, or deployment platforms — it's to act as a context spine that holds together everything that vanishes at the seams. The name is intentional: *Atlas* the titan who carries weight, and *atlas* the map that shows you where you are and where to go next.

The structure is three layers: `app-creator` for planning, `app-builder` for building, and `app-publisher` for shipping — all threaded by the context spine. If myWiki/second is knowledge integration, Atlas is development environment integration.

There's no product code yet, but the app-creator skill pipeline (`/app-req → /app-home → /app-expand → /app-wireup`) is already running, and the template sharing site (`templ.slowloop.app`) has been fully designed.
