Stele vs Topos

Shared memory for AI coding agents. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex read what your project already decided, so context survives between tools and sessions.

Correctness is table stakes. Topos evaluates the structural quality of agent-written code so working diffs do not become long-term codebase debt.

About Stele

Shared memory for AI coding agents. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex read what your project already decided, so context survives between tools and sessions. Only one of these agents knows this was tried last spring and rolled back. KNOW-142 : a captcha on checkout shipped last spring and was reverted after two weeks. The bot traffic is real, though it spikes on release days and is quiet the rest of the time. A gate armed only during a release window would avoid repeating that.

About Topos

Correctness is table stakes. Topos evaluates the structural quality of agent-written code so working diffs do not become long-term codebase debt. The Problem: Agents generate code faster than humans can review it. The Threat: The agentic spray problem, without structural guardrails, agentic speed is automated entropy: duplicate modules, fragile abstractions, and review fatigue that merges things no one actually understands. What Topos Does: Parses code into graph representations and scores three independent structural pillars, awarding a Quality Medal per file: Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Slop.
