AI Engineer · Full Stack Architect · Founder @ NorahLabs
Building production AI systems from Nairobi, Kenya. Agentic orchestration engines, RAG pipelines, and native desktop applications — designed for developers who want real architectural understanding without cloud lock-in.
A native desktop AI coding environment for developers working on non-trivial codebases.
v8.7.5 · Mac + Linux · atlarix.dev
Atlarix builds a section-scoped Blueprint graph on demand using a four-layer index stack — Universal Ctags (symbol index), ast-grep (import/call/HTTP route edges), BM25 (semantic symbol ranking), and ripgrep (text fallback) — delivering ~6,500 tokens of structural understanding for a 99-file TypeScript section in a 25-section multi-repository workspace.

v8.7.x highlights:
- Section-scoped
get_blueprint—focus_pathrequired; preflight path validation; richness-gated hybrid merge (ctags + ast-grep → hybrid when thin) - Blast radius BFS over Blueprint flow edges before every write/edit approval
- Inline Mermaid diagrams generated on demand from codebase scan — no stale DB snapshot
- Post-turn tool-result summarisation — 95–98% per-read compression before history persistence
v8.6.x highlights:
- Universal Ctags + ast-grep Blueprint stack — replaced previous parser approach
- Route edges: Express/Fastify/Next.js HTTP handlers as first-class structural edges
- ast-grep worker pool with Python/Go dynamic grammar registration
- Incremental file-watcher refresh (500ms debounce) — per-file ctags + ast-grep, not full rebuild
v8.x foundations:
- ~50% pre-dispatch token reduction — 6 auto-injected blocks converted to tool-driven retrieval
compress_context— model-triggered, not pre-dispatch- Tool consolidation 60+ → 28 — unified

Blueprint: Section-Scoped Structural Graph Retrieval and Post-Turn Compression for Agentic LLM Coding in Multi-Repository Workspaces Amariah Kamau, NorahLabs — May 2026
Documents the Blueprint architecture, post-turn tool-result summarisation, and benchmark results from a controlled A/B evaluation on a production multi-repository workspace. Honest findings — including a counterintuitive result about total context usage.
