A codebase understanding system

Keep humans in the loop of the code they ship.

Tauro is a daily ritual for engineering teams using coding agents: import a repo, index it, and answer one question grounded in the codebase.

Start with a repo Why this matters

repo: tauro/app
area: Architecture
source: app/dashboard/page.js
       lib/supabase/client.js
       app/api/repos/index/route.js

question:
How does authenticated session state gate repo indexing,
and where would this flow fail if the token was stale?

answer ritual:
1. answer from memory
2. admit uncertainty
3. inspect evidence
4. preserve the model

Problem

Agentic coding can increase output while weakening the team’s tacit understanding of the system. Tauro treats understanding as operational knowledge that must be exercised, not assumed.

How it works

A small loop, repeated daily.

Import

Connect a public GitHub repo or upload a zip archive.

Index

Tauro chunks, embeds, and maps the repo into retrievable context.

Ask

One daily question is generated from real code evidence.

Remember

The team answers from memory and strengthens its shared model.

The ritual

One question per day. One sharper team.

Inspired by fractals, information theory, and Picasso’s Taureau: Tauro zooms from file to system and strips the codebase down to the shape the team needs to remember.

Evidence paths on every question
Daily streaks for codebase memory
Repo coverage and indexing depth
Structured JSON question engine
GitHub and zip imports
Built for teams using coding agents

Start the ritual.

Index a repository and generate the first grounded question.
