Lodestar by Kylex

Every AI coding tool remembers what you built. None of them remember why. Until now.

A Monday morning standup every time you sit down to code. Lodestar commits your reasoning to your repo — every decision, every dead end — so every session starts where the last one left off.

1

You code. When you commit, Lodestar reads what changed.

Works with any AI tool — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Copilot.

2

Lodestar synthesizes what the code can't tell you — why you built it that way, what you tried that failed, and where to pick up next.

The reasoning between code sessions. The part that disappears when you close the tab.

3

That context is committed to your repo. Next session, it loads automatically — full warm start.

Version-controlled. Portable. Works on any machine. No vendor lock-in.

You finished your session. Your vision was working — you knew exactly where you were going next. You return three days later, open your project — where was I?

The product clarity is gone. Not the code — the code is still there. But the thinking that got you here is gone. Why did I build it this way? Why didn't that idea work? What was I doing next?

Your product thinking was never saved anywhere. It lived in the moment. That moment was three days ago. Not anymore.

Zero commands. Fully automatic.

Install once. Lodestar handles everything in the background.

1
lodestar init

One-time setup. Picks your AI provider, validates your key, and hooks into Claude Code. Takes under a minute.

2
Open Claude Code → code → close

That's it. When you open your project, Lodestar loads your last session's context automatically. When you close, it captures everything — decisions, dead ends, direction — and commits it to your repo.

3
lodestar review

Optional. Open the project dashboard anytime to see build status, architecture, decisions, and what's next — all in one view.

Your reasoning, committed to your repo.

Lodestar captures the thinking behind your code — decisions, dead ends, and direction — and gives you two ways to see it.
