Aletheore

Evidence-grounded repository intelligence

A deterministic scanner reads your repo and writes structured evidence — every downstream feature (AI audit, PR bot, MCP server, dashboard) has to cite that evidence, or it doesn't get to make the claim.

$ pipx install aletheore
$ aletheore scan .

Scanning /path/to/your/repo...
  → Detecting languages, frameworks, and build tools
  → Building module dependency graph (parsing source with tree-sitter)
  → Analyzing git history and ownership
  → Scanning working tree for secrets
  → Checking dependencies for known vulnerabilities (OSV.dev)
  → Mapping API endpoints
  → Done
✓ Scan complete
  Evidence written to /path/to/your/repo/.aletheore/air.json

No LLM call, no account, no network access beyond the vulnerability/license registry lookups (turn those off too for a fully offline run). That one command gets you a real dependency graph, secrets scan, git-history secret sweep, dependency-vulnerability/license check, and static API endpoint map — for Python, JavaScript/JSX, TypeScript/TSX, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, PHP, C, C++, and C#.

Why

• Grounded, not vibes. Every AI-written claim (the audit report, PR review comments, the architecture wiki) is checked against the file:line it cites. A finding that can't be verified against real evidence gets dropped or flagged, not shipped silently.
• The free tier is actually free. scan, query, diff, the MCP server, and the local dashboard need no account and no API key. Nothing leaves your machine.
• Bring your own model, or don't use one at all. audit works with six provider families (Claude, OpenAI, Google, Mistral, xAI, or a local Ollama model) — your key, your cost, your choice — or skip the LLM step entirely and just use the deterministic evidence.
• 1,600+ tests, real CI, and a GitHub Action that dogfoods itself on every PR to this repo.

What's actually shipped

• aletheore scan — the deterministic scanner above. Safe to run in CI, on every commit.
• aletheore audit — scans, then has a coding-agent CLI or API provider write a full grounded markdown report, citing exact evidence fields throughout. Meant to be run by hand against your own repo — see src/README.md for why it isn't wired into CI.
• aletheore query / aletheore diff — answer a targeted question or compare two scans from existing evidence, no re-scan or LLM call needed.
• aletheore mcp — a stdio MCP server exposing 28 tools (module/symbol/dependency lookups, ownership, clusters, dead code, hotspots, full-text and semantic search, scan and index triggers) so a coding agent can query your repo's structure directly instead of shelling out or re-reading files on every lookup. aletheore mcp-install wires it into Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Kiro, Opencode, or Codex CLI automatically.
• aletheore dashboard — a live local web UI: dependency graph, an Obsidian-style cluster graph, trend charts across scan history, and the MCP tool list.
