CLI-first coding agent and verification harness: it scans your repo's structure, briefs AI edits with file-scoped context, then verifies results with deterministic checks (drift, lint, verify-task, intent check) so the model that wrote the code never grades itself. Runs autonomously via 'sruja agent loop' or inside any editor (Cursor, Copilot, Claude, Windsurf) through MCP. Also maintains architecture-as-code (repo.sruja) with drift detection and Mermaid/D2 exports.

Why it matters

Architecture drift between documentation and code is a persistent enterprise pain point — automated AI-maintained architecture-as-code directly addresses the 'docs always out of date' problem.

Best for

Software architects and engineering leads on large or rapidly evolving codebases who need accurate architecture documentation alongside AI-assisted development.

Things to check

Accuracy depends on code structure clarity and AI detection quality—complex or non-standard architectures may require manual refinement. Requires active maintenance to stay useful as systems change.
