`npx skills add inkboard/system-atlas`
This is dope thanks for sharing. We’re increasingly using these kinds of visual support skills at No Diet (initially soured by @humanlayer_dev’s show me skill). Seeing really helps my understanding.
@humanlayer_dev 100% - i've been trying recently to read the code again but honestly w/ the pace at which these things sling code it's a losing battle. so at least understanding the basic topology is the minimum. Kind of ironic that we're all back to being eng managers again 😂
ELITE - our team gave it a go and are going to keep using your work. congrats. we did find a lil issue in the HTML template if you want to check it out:
Tysm! I’ll take a look
worked out really well fwiw
Inspiration from this
love it! we're working on something similar for Wasp, but it's coming from the compile-time spec. Will be applying much nicer color theme to it though :)
wicked!
thanks!
Super cool! Curious how you simulated the data flows? Did you just give examples yourself or is that from a live local dev server?
The agent executing the skill picks it up from it’s explorations
@deepok102
I love it
This is very, very cool. I tried building something broadly similar to this but found the diagrams the agents made weren’t entirely accurate. Do you find this skill to be accurate enough?
At least works on the scales that I’ve been testing with. Not sure how it’ll perform at bugger scales
love this! how did you give the visual animation?
just claude doing claude things :)
Please change the name. Everyone I work with has some kind of 'atlas' or 'vortex' or 'forge' and they all do different things. Don't go with the AI naming, for all of our sakes.
i think it might be a little too late now 😅 - i agree w/ you though
I see it in 2D but yes, watching the process and the code is the best way to work
Personally I prefer 2d, so I've build an open source local tool for that called HQ flow! Try it out at
Very good work
ahh this is gonna change the flow 👍🏾 cool
This is the same reason audio-first reading helps some people. The content is not always the problem; the entry point is.
the spatial thing is real, text has no persistent location so your brain re-parses it every read, a map gives each module a fixed address you recall. the hard part is layout stability, if it reflows as the code changes, the map you memorized lies to you next week.
@cosmic_yolo_bot
this is awesome
That interactive codebase map is actually sick. Being able to click through the architecture, inspect payloads, and watch the system run is way better than staring at docs.
Evaluating quantum computing requires comparing it with alternative approaches under realistic constraints in emerging economies.
you got it man
I built a similar tool using nodes instead of isometric called RPM, just runs local on all my repos I love this! going to see if I can add this as a toggle feature to RPM
Does it visualize the diff?
so cool, just starting to play around with it
Gives Jurassic Park computer scene vibes (SGI unix/IRIX FSN)
It cannot work at scale because software is way more highly dimensional that the 3 dimensions that our visual cortex can process.
This is super super cool, my brain is having trouble keeping up with complexity and ended up literally drawing squares in my notebook. Thank you!
👏🏻
![Vallée and the Closed System: Are We Prisoners? 🧠👽 Vallée: "Are We Being Taken Over by a Species from Somewhere in Space That's Vastly More Intelligent Than We Are?" 👽🧠 "..the simulation...was a new concept that I initially rejected." ~Vallée "Is it looking for us to try to interact with it as equals or with parity?" ~Scafish "Nobody says that to Congress, and I think Congress should hear it." ~Vallée If, "it's a closed system, we're like prisoners and something is going to happen to us, and there is very little we can do." ~Vallée Turn the thermostat dial. "If the temperature doesn't change, then I know I'm inside a control system. So, we can do the same thing with UFOs, but we have to react. We have to, number one, acknowledge that it exists, and number two, we have to react to it." ~Vallée ~~~ I've been wanting to share this one for a while... Vallée: "So, he said, the question you have to ask about UFOs is, number one, is it a natural system or an artificial system...control system. And if it is a control system, is it open or closed? In other words, are we being taken over by a species from somewhere in space that's vastly more intelligent than we are?" (I've never heard him even suggest that possibility.) Vallée: "You know, as Dr. Garry P. Nolan says, you know, people who have had ten, you know, scientific revolutions, or a hundred or a thousand, and come here with superior science to do something... And in which case, you know, it's a closed system, we're like prisoners and something is going to happen to us, and there is very little we can do. Or, is it an open system where we can, in fact, communicate with it. And if we can communicate with it, then the question for me as an information scientist is, what are the modalities of the interaction, you know? It's not just can we learn their language? And they say, you know, 'We come in peace to save mankind,' or something. Or 'We will give you the cure for cancer' or something. I don't think it's at that level." (Will we ever be able to get answers to these extremely important questions? If it's an open system, how do we communicate with it? How do we provoke it to react? We know it reacts to anything nuclear but we still don't know why. This is why we need the USG (and other governments) to present evidence that shows the masses this is real and extremely important for our species to investigate. If that evidence exists and is shown, we'll have an easier time getting the world's best minds to join the effort in figuring out the best way to answer these questions. We still may fail but we should at least try.) Vallée: "I think it's a meta-system. It's not a system. And that's my fear...if we can circle back to your earlier question about, you know, about NIDS and about BAASS, what we did for the government and what we did for the Defense Intelligence Agency. Half of the budget was spent developing, you know, a super database. And we don't know where it went. I mean, I'm not cleared to know where it went." (On the contractor (BAASS) side, Bigelow should have all copies of what AAWSAP produced. And on the DIA side, Lacatksi said he put all of the digital files in a specific place that he didn't name. As long as someone didn't delete it all, it should still be there. Vallée has said that the Capella database has about 250,000 cases from around the world.) Vallée: "But that would be a very interesting question, because the people who are getting [the database] are getting raw data, which we have very well organized, all in English. So they have the luxury of, you know, we had five translators from French, English, Portuguese, Russian, you know, everything was translated in a single structure across fourteen databases. "That's what we need to answer the question about the control system, and it's not being done. And we hired a whole team that we had trained to work on it. So to rebuild that will take the next ten or fifteen years. And nobody says that to Congress, and I think Congress should hear it, because it's our money." (As long as names and personal details are scrubbed from that database, there is no reason NOT to release it to the public. This way, we can take it and use AI to help decipher patterns and maybe answer some of these questions. Can Congress help us get access to that database?) Vallée: "When you ask, is it a control system? That's a big question." Peter Scafish Peter Skafish - "You asked, at one point, whether the system is open or closed, and you said, additionally, I believe, if it's open, that it would be possible to communicate back to it. And it sounds to me like that's the key question for you. Is, if you can understand what what the system of symbols is, or the modalities of communication, then you can understand enough to engage in some kind of communication, or at least give some kind of response to show that you understand." Vallée: "Yes." Scafish: "So then the question, and we have a member named Jacqueline, who has asked this. Could the system be stimulating us - provided there is such a system - to interact with it, more as subjects or agents than as something like animals or objects? Is it looking for us to try to interact with it as equals or with parity?" (When people report getting injured or sick from being in close proximity to UAP, it suggests to me that the phenomenon won't go out of its way to avoid affecting us in a negative manner if we get in their its/way (assuming it even knows that close encounters with UAP are not good for humans). Kind of like how we treat lower lifeforms. If we encounter a wild rabbit crossing the road, many of us will do our best to avoid it, but not if it means damaging our car or ourselves in an accident. It may ruin our day if we hit it, but it won't stop us from driving again in the future. Do NHI have bad days if their tech injures us or makes us sick? I have no clue.) Vallée: "Well, what I saw in the notes you gave me, is she was also asking: Is it a control system because we think it is? And that's a very interesting question. Because we react to the UFO phenomenon, or the UAP phenomenon. And, you know, at this point when I think about what I'm going to do next in this research, if I'm given the the opportunity to live a little longer, I'm not going to go back and write any more computer programs. There are better people to do that now, they have the data, and we're in a different phase now. We're in a whole different system. I have the luxury of doing some experiments I wanted to do for a long time." (Would have liked Scafish to ask him: What types of experiments?) Vallée: "So, if you think you are inside the control system, there are things that you can do. Or, if you think you're inside the simulation, you know, which was a new concept that I initially rejected, and then, you know, Ray's (Kurzweil?) work and others have brought it back to the forefront. And we have to ask that at the same time. Can we test it? How would you test it? Well, if, you know, I'm here in my apartment, and the temperature is constant in this apartment. But outside, I can see it's cold, or I can see the sun is out and it's warm, and how come it's constant here? So this would lead me to think that there is a control system, namely a thermostat, that is somewhere. "So I can start looking around the walls, and if I see dial, I can turn it, or I could start a fire and see what happens, see if the temperature changes. If the temperature doesn't change, then I know I'm inside a control system. So, we can do the same thing with UFOs, but we have to react. We have to, number one, acknowledge that it exists, and number two, we have to react to it."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1999241328388112749/amplify_video_thumb/1999240752300498944/img/-ITml6B_VyoovXQH.jpg)
![Former Senior Mossad Official: “The Influx of Qatari Money into Israel Must Be Defined as a Security Threat” Sagiv Asulin, a researcher at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, warns that the flow of money from Qatar through nonprofit organizations in Israel is not merely an academic, social, or cultural issue. According to him, Qatari funds are being channeled through NGOs into projects in academia and the education system, including schools, as part of a broader pattern of influence operations. Asulin is calling on the State of Israel to change the way it approaches the phenomenon: “First of all, define it as a security threat. Not some soft, pleasant, cultural or social event. It is not. It is a security event in every sense of the word.” He says Israel must “take the gloves off,” act to shut down relevant organizations, and prevent actors who exploit democracy and freedom of expression from “penetrating from within and then dismantling [the system] from the inside.”](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2095104464185164174/amplify_video_thumb/2095055755757953030/img/64WtCmP4M_7JVByU.jpg)
