The problem nobody talks about

AI coding agents write code fast. Too fast. Within a few sessions you end up with:

Utility functions calling into feature modules

Feature logic embedded in CLI entry points

Circular dependencies 3 layers deep

Database clients instantiated inside pure functions

No linter catches this. No formatter fixes it. The codebase works -- but it's slowly becoming unmaintainable, and the agent helping you has no structural feedback to course-correct.

What I built

Atomadic Forge is an architecture compiler. Point it at any Python or JavaScript repo and it:

Scouts -- maps every symbol, tier, dependency, language

Wires -- finds every import that violates the composition law

Certifies -- assigns a score 0-100 with a SHA-256 receipt

Enforces -- auto-fixes violations in-place, dry-run safe

It runs as an MCP server -- your agent in Cursor or Claude Code can call certify , wire , recon , enforce , and 25+ other tools directly.

The 5-tier monadic composition law
