Wherefore Get started

Features · Wherefore 0.11.0

Everything it does, and what's next.

Every feature in the release this site pins, tagged with the release it arrived in. When a release adds a feature, this site has to describe it before it can build. Every release, and what it printed

  • Scan since 0.3.0

    Point it at your site or docs: it finds every value you state more than one way, and where the copies disagree.

    wherefore scan

  • Start a corpus since 0.1.0

    One command starts a repository; the skill walks your agent through the first fact.

    wherefore init

  • The gate since 0.1.0

    On every push, each file must be built from the source, written by a person for a stated reason, or a capture stamped with what it shows. Anything else stops the change, and says why.

    wherefore gate

  • The build since 0.1.0

    Every asset rebuilt from the source, the same way every time, so you see exactly what a change moves.

    wherefore build

  • What builds what since 0.7.0

    A page for every repository: each file, how it is made, and what changes when a source does. One command draws it, and changes nothing.

    wherefore graph

  • Proofs since 0.1.0

    No check is trusted until it has failed: each proof plants the fault its check exists to catch.

    wherefore prove

  • Retired facts since 0.1.0

    Retire an old price, name or limit once, and nothing a person reads may say it again.

    wherefore check retired

  • Reach since 0.1.0

    Wherefore changes each fact, one at a time, and checks that everything stating it changes too.

    wherefore check reach

  • Claims since 0.1.0

    Give a claim like “SOC 2 certified” a rule, and no page can say more than the rule allows.

    wherefore check claims

  • Derived from elsewhere since 0.5.0

    Copied something you can't pin, like a partner's spec sheet? The deploy fails the day its source changes.

    wherefore check upstream

  • One palette since 0.10.0 New in 0.10.0

    Your brand lives in one file. Type a colour anywhere else and the build names the file and the line, unless the file says, with a reason, that the colour is somebody else's.

    wherefore check palette

  • The pre-push hook since 0.1.0

    A push that would ship a stale document stops before it leaves your machine.

    wherefore hook install

  • The skill, for Claude Code and Codex since 0.2.0

    Claude Code or Codex learns the rules from a skill that ships with each release.

What's next

The open-source engine's roadmap, as its repository states it.

  • Docs from each release Next

    The product's docs, compiled from the release they describe.

  • Launches that wait Later

    A launch that holds until its page, docs and demo agree.

  • Drift, on the map Later

    What the scan finds - a value stated in several places that no source holds - drawn on the map beside the files that say it, so what is not yet tracked is seen, and seen shrinking.

  • Your things, in one place Later #12

    An app you log in to and see every repository you connected: what each builds, what is held, and what is drifting.
