Overview
As engineering teams write code faster using AI generation tools, repositories frequently suffer from architectural drift, broken conventions, and untracked dependencies. Hyrax acts as an AI codebase architect and governance platform designed to solve this exact bottleneck. By connecting directly to your repositories, the platform maps system boundaries, services, dependencies, and risks, establishing a shared architectural baseline directly inside your version control system rather than in an isolated external dashboard. Evaluation is handled by six specialized agents targeting security, correctness, maintainability, performance, architecture, and operations. Instead of burying developers under noisy linting alerts, Hyrax synthesizes high-leverage findings into verified, review-ready pull requests that your team can inspect and merge with confidence. Hyrax stands out by making architectural knowledge persistent and self-reinforcing. Every merged pull request updates the in-repo context files (HYRAX.md and .hyrax/discovery), ensuring that subsequent changes—whether drafted by human engineers or AI coding assistants—build upon accurate, up-to-date system intelligence.

01
In-Repo Codebase Mapping
Discovers services, dependencies, boundaries, conventions, and risks, storing living context in HYRAX.md and .hyrax/discovery so both engineers and AI tools work from identical architecture data.
02
Six Specialized Evaluation Agents
Analyzes your repository across security, correctness, maintainability, performance, architecture, and operations, providing thorough oversight without conflicting review advice.
03
Verified Pull Request Generation
Translates high-impact architectural and quality findings into verified, review-ready pull requests that teams can inspect, approve, and merge directly.
04
Continuous Context Learning
Automatically refreshes repository discovery files with every merged pull request, ensuring future development workflows operate on updated system context.
How to use Hyrax
- Connect your GitHub repository to Hyrax to trigger automated initial codebase discovery across your project.
