Ten repos, eight people, nobody writing the docs.

orgami maps every repository in your GitHub organization: what each one is, how to run it, what it talks to, where it deploys. Then it hands all of that to your coding agent at session start.

One script on your machine. No daemon, no database, nothing hosted.

$ curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Oldault/orgami/main/bootstrap.sh | bash

macOS, Linux, WSL

Then gh auth login and orgami init. Read the script first, install by hand, or pin a release.

Recorded against a public organization (honojs) with vhs docs/demo.tape. Every line in it came out of a committed file.

How your software fits together lives in two people’s heads.

No architect holding the diagram, no wiki that survived the last three months, and nothing written down that a new hire or a coding agent could read on day one.

A new hire: spends the first weeks asking where things are and how they ship. That is salary paid to relearn what the company already knew.
A departure: takes the deploy steps, the workaround and the reason behind them out the door. The next outage runs longer, and nobody can say why.
A coding agent: starts every session knowing nothing about the other repos. It guesses, and the guesses reach review.

orgami writes that memory down from the code the team already commits, and a weekly timer keeps it current. It installs in under a minute and writes one folder, map/, that you can open, diff and commit.

Nothing to run. It’s already in the session.

Open Claude Code or Cursor in a mapped checkout and the repo’s stack, commands, linked repos and notes arrive before your first prompt. Outside a mapped repo it prints nothing at all.

Without it: the agent in honox sees one checkout. Asked what breaks if an export changes, it can read honox and nothing else.
With it: the session already names honox-website as a dependent, and orgami context cites the line that says so, package.json:23. The note left about islands comes with it.

Claude Code: the plugin’s session-start hook
Cursor: its sessionStart hook
MCP clients: orgami mcp --config for opencode, codex, windsurf, zed, vscode
Anything else: orgami agents writes AGENTS.md

The plugin’s skill tells Claude to run orgami context first, cite the evidence line for anything it claims, say when the map is stale, and never run orgami publish on its own.

Every edge carries the `file:line` it came from.

Nothing in the graph is a model’s guess, and every claim can be opened and checked. Most edges are a line you can open; the few orgami matched up itself say so. A missing edge means “not found in committed configuration”, never “not connected”.

Every Monday, the week on one page.

orgami pull fetches every pull request the org merged. jq computes the counts, the median time to merge and how much merged with no review at all. Claude is handed those figures and writes around them, grouping the work by why it happened rather than by repository.

A quiet week writes no recap. This one is real: honojs, the last week of October.

$ orgami report --stats-only   # no model call

reports/2026-W44.md, cut short

2026-10-26 to 2026-11-01 · 30 merged PRs (+17 by bots) · 5 repos · median 6.7h to merge

Summary

The week’s substantive engineering work was eight security fixes across hono core and middleware packages — JWT verification, OAuth state checks, two XSS holes, a weak secret generator, and a cookie-echo leak. Everything else was a documentation accuracy pass, three third-party middleware listings, and one CLI feature; review stayed almost entirely with a single person, and half the human PRs merged with none at all.

Security

verify() accepted a signature segment containing characters outside the base64url alphabet (e.g. trailing whitespace), letting distinct token strings verify as the same token; it also now rejects any JWT header containing crit, since Hono implements no JWS extensions (RFC 7515 §4.1.11). Reported by @harshit-d3v (yusukebe, honojs/hono#5597).
mcpAuthRouter’s rate limiter was recreated on every request so its counter never advanced and no limit was enforced, and client_secret was generated with Math.random() instead of a CSPRNG. Reported by @Grodzix (yusukebe, honojs/middleware#2221).

Six more security fixes and four more sections left out here.

How the team worked

30 human pull requests landed across 5 repos (middleware 12, website 10, hono 4, create-hono 3, cli 1), adding 1,307 lines and removing 802. The median change was small — 29.5 diff lines across 2 files — against one outlier, the 764-line changesets migration (honojs/middleware#2207). Median time to merge was 6.7 hours, but the slowest pull request took 959.1 hours (about 40 days) to land.

Generated by orgami on 2026-11-06. Numbers computed from the GitHub API; prose written by claude-sonnet-5.

Three commands the team ends up living in.

`orgami note` · one memory for the team.

The cause someone found at 2am gets written down once, often without anyone typing it, and everyone’s agent reads it. On a team this size that knowledge lives in one or two heads, and leaves with them.

$ orgami note --repo honox "Island components cannot access the Context object."

`orgami daily` · digests you can trust the numbers in.

jq computes every figure; Claude only writes the prose, and is told the numbers rather than asked to count. A quiet day produces no file.

$ orgami daily --stats-only   # the numbers, no model call, no cost

`orgami playbook` · two runs of the same job write its runbook.

Once the same kind of job has been recorded twice, one more fetcher or one more endpoint, orgami writes the playbook for it. The next run starts from what the last two learned.

$ orgami playbook --topic broken-fetcher

What is running, and what the org pays for.

The map says a repo is configured to deploy to Fly. orgami live asks Vercel, Fly and AWS what actually exists, and ties a deployment to a repo only on evidence: a deploys-to edge, the provider naming the repository, or a tag. On the first real account it ran against, all 30 running things were unaccounted for, seven of them preview environments nobody had cleaned up.

orgami advise reads which outside services the code calls, and orgami dns reads the accounts the org’s domain has verified with a vendor, which no code shows. Each proposal carries the line or the DNS record behind it. Reject one with a reason and it stays rejected; the reason goes into the team notes.

One machine maps it. Everyone else joins.

$ gh auth login
$ orgami init      # map your organization
$ orgami join      # everyone else: no scan, no clones

From then on orgami weekly runs the whole cycle, scan to publish, in one command. orgami schedule puts it on a systemd user timer, a launchd agent, or a cron line.

Two scheduled Claude calls a week.

The weekly recap and the decision mining, plus one short call per weekday morning if the daily digest is on. A few more happen only when you ask for them: orgami doc --narrate, orgami playbook, and the note a session drafts on its way out. The scan, the map, orgami live and every --stats-only run are gh, git, jq and grep. They cost nothing.

What does it change for the team day to day?

Nothing anyone has to remember to do. A weekly timer rebuilds the map and writes the recap. When someone opens a repo in Claude Code or Cursor, a hook hands the map to the agent. Nobody fills in a page or keeps a wiki current: notes are drafted from the session that found the cause, and by default wait for a person to approve them.

Where does it write, and with what?

orgami init picks the organization from the ones your gh token can see, then asks where the reports should be committed: an existing repo in the org, a new one it creates for you, a git URL you type, or nowhere at all. orgami publish commits the map and the reports into that repo. Notes are screened for credentials before they are written and again before anything is pushed, and they can require a pull request to reach the team.

What does it send to a model?

Numbers, never clones. jq computes every figure first: PR counts, median diff size, median hours to merge, how many merged with no review at all, who reviews whom. Claude gets those figures, the PR titles and the opening of each description, and writes the prose. The note drafted at session end sends a digest of that session’s transcript, with tokens and keys redacted first: redaction and the note screen share one pattern list, lib/secrets.tsv, so a secret in a shape nobody listed can still get through. Every call runs with no tools and none of your Claude Code settings or hooks, so the model can only write text back.

Can I run it against a private organization?

Yes. orgami scan shallow-clones every non-archived, non-fork repo in the org and pattern-matches what is committed. The scan runs with your own gh token and never sends a clone anywhere. map/graph.html is one self-contained file with no CDN and no network, so it opens from a file:// URL and inside a private repo.

Do I need Claude to use it?

Not for the map. scan, brief, query, view, live, dns and the session-start context need gh, git and jq. The claude CLI writes the prose: the weekly recap, the daily digest, the notes a session drafts, playbooks and doc --narrate. Without it, orgami report --stats-only and orgami daily --stats-only still give you the numbers.

org + origami.
