This page explains how Spiral works under the hood. If you just want to use it, start here instead.
Spiral uses a central facts database as your project's single source of truth. Every IDE configuration file, every context document, every tool-specific rule is automatically generated from this central brain. Four passive sync layers keep everything current without a single manual command.

A vector-indexed facts database is your project's single source of truth. Every context file your tools use is a read-only projection of this central brain.
Every fact links to related facts. See your project as a connected, navigable graph — features connect to constraints connect to decisions.
Thousands of community-built AI guardrails, pre-matched to your stack and safety-scored to filter out harmful patterns.
Describe your idea. Get a complete repo with real code, not placeholder boilerplate.
Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Windsurf, and more — all stay current via real-time push and file system watching.
Every AI suggestion shows a diff and rationale. You approve before anything changes.
Included in every project. Built for developers who ship fast and need guardrails they didn't know to ask for.
Prevents semantic drift. Monitors changes across IDEs and triggers a pipeline extraction to update the central facts database.
Included in every Spiral project
Zero commands to remember. Context stays in sync passively.
Spiral pushes live updates to every subscribed IDE tool using the Model Context Protocol. No polling, no manual refresh.
Mirrors your knowledge graph across all devices. Edit on your phone, sync to your workstation. Always in sync, everywhere.
Tool-specific config files auto-regenerate whenever the core database updates. Cursor rules, Claude context, Copilot instructions — all derived automatically.
When a teammate records a decision, your local knowledge updates in the background. No merge conflicts, just shared context.
Describe your project and watch Spiral build the knowledge graph in real time. Free to start.
