System Atlas - Setup Guide¶
Source: inkboard/system-atlas GitHub: inkboard/system-atlas (164⭐, MIT, active through Aug 24, 2026) Skills: 1 skill (system-atlas), 94 installs Category: Developer Tools / System Documentation First Seen: August 24, 2026 sweep (skills.sh first-listed ~Aug 21, 2026 - 3 days old at sweep time) Quality Tier: 🔵 Community - brand-new skill on the hot board with a clean audit record (Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, Snyk Pass) but under the 100-install bar
System Atlas turns an architecture discussion into an explorable isometric "atlas" of the system: one data file drives an interactive page (hover to read, click to pin) plus a generated SYSTEM.md, with progressive disclosure so a viewer can zoom from the whole system down to one component. For a multi-service operation like CorpusIQ (Spark worker, docs pipeline, MCP server, gateway fleet, cron mesh), this is a lightweight way to keep a browsable architecture map current without maintaining a diagram tool.
Installation¶
The maintained-checkout pattern (recommended - keeps the skill updateable with git pull):
git clone https://github.com/inkboard/system-atlas.git
# ~/.hermes/config.yaml
skills:
external_dirs:
- /absolute/path/to/system-atlas
Or via the skills.sh marketplace:
npx skills add inkboard/system-atlas
Prerequisites¶
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Architecture context | The skill is driven by an architecture discussion or existing docs - it maps what you describe into the atlas data file |
| Static hosting (optional) | The interactive page is a static artifact; host it anywhere (docs site, internal page) for the hover/pin experience |
Core Skill¶
| Skill | Installs | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| system-atlas | 94 | Build and maintain an explorable, progressively-disclosed isometric atlas of a system's architecture - an interactive page (hover to read, click to pin), one data file, and a generated SYSTEM.md |
Security Audit Status (skills.sh, verified Aug 24, 2026)¶
| Skill | Gen Agent Trust Hub | Socket | Snyk |
|---|---|---|---|
| system-atlas | Pass | Pass | Pass |
CorpusIQ Use Cases¶
| Use Case | How |
|---|---|
| Architecture documentation | One atlas data file + generated SYSTEM.md replaces hand-maintained diagram boards for the CorpusIQ system map (workers, deploys, crons, gateways) |
| Onboarding artifact | Progressive disclosure (whole-system zoom to single component) is the right shape for onboarding new collaborators onto CorpusIQ infrastructure |
| Docs-site embed | The static interactive page can be published under the hermes docs tree as a living architecture page |
Integration with CorpusIQ¶
CorpusIQ is the connector layer that lets AI assistants read the systems a business already runs on - accounting, payments, CRM, email, files and analytics - and answer with the source named. It is read-only by design: it retrieves data and never writes to, or acts in, a connected system, which is what makes it safe to point at live accounts.
This page is part of the CorpusIQ directory, the reference we maintain for the MCP server and agent-skill ecosystem. Run alongside CorpusIQ, a third-party server like this one can be combined with a company's own business data in a single answer.
Limitations / Verification¶
- 94 installs and first-seen ~Aug 21, 2026 - early-stage skill; verify output quality on your own architecture before adopting as the canonical map.
- Single-skill pack; the value is the atlas format and interaction pattern, not a large toolkit.
- No long-run marketplace history yet - re-check the skills.sh security audits on later sweeps.
