What teams use ArchSteer for.
AI agent guardrails that keep coding agents on-architecture
Stop AI agents replicating legacy patterns. ArchSteer injects file-scoped, ADR-backed guardrails into CLAUDE.md and .cursor/rules toward your target.
Architecture drift detection with a Drift Index leadership can watch
Detect architectural drift continuously. ArchSteer turns every code change into a Drift Index and evolution feed — erosion visible before it compounds.
Automated architecture decision records, ratified by the architect
Agents make architectural decisions silently. ArchSteer drafts an ADR for every boundary-altering change — no decision ships without a record.
Living architecture documentation that never goes stale
Stop hand-maintaining diagrams. ArchSteer regenerates living architecture docs and Mermaid C4 diagrams from code every run — always current.
Enterprise architecture governance across every repository
Govern architecture org-wide while agents move fast. ArchSteer's situation room shows conformance, drift, and pending decisions across every repo from one control plane.
Onboard to any codebase with a zero-config architecture X-ray
New to a repo? Run ArchSteer's X-ray to instantly see components, layers, dependencies, data stores, and how the architecture has been evolving — no setup required.
