Living Atlas Briefing

Mini atlas, YOU ARE HERE, corridors, hubs & bridges, fog-of-war, and a start-here journey — one coherent view.

Navigation, not codegen

whereami, goto, route, upstream/downstream, territories, landmarks, journeys — a map layer for Cursor.

Local-first Atlas

Persistent SQLite atlas under .cartographer/. Your code never leaves the machine.
