constellation works

Local-first engineering for AI coding agents

Separate repos,
one front door.

Independent, local-first projects: an engineering framework for AI coding agents, and the tools taking shape beside it — code graphs, idea lineage, reproducible research.

brew install constellation-works/tap/orbit

The model

01

Local-first

Work runs on hardware you own, against checkouts you control. No hosted control plane sits between you and your own repositories.

02

Every change is a task

Agent work is durable and reviewable rather than transient — a task record, a structured audit of every tool call, and a backlog that survives the session.

03

Independent repos

Each project stands alone with its own history and release cadence. The umbrella is a router, not a monorepo.

Projects

Orbit is the shipped project. The rest are public but still taking shape — not yet ready to install or depend on.

Orbit

Rust · released

The engineering framework for AI coding agents. A durable task for every change, structured audit of every tool call, conflict-aware parallel dispatch, and continuous review sweeps that file findings back into the backlog.

orbit-graph

Work in progress

Code graph indexing and queries over a local SQLite index of a source tree. A standalone library and CLI extracted from Orbit's graph implementation — no Orbit checkout, runtime or configuration required.

orbit-research

Work in progress

Scientific claims, protocols, evidence and assessments, with reproducible workflows powered by Orbit. Immutable native authoring, a disposable index, and a local static evidence browser.

nebula

Work in progress

An idea lineage graph. Capture a half-formed thought in under five seconds, then trace where it came from years later. Ideas branch, merge and die, so the structure is a graph, and dead branches are kept forever.
