Welcome to Align
Align is the decision graph for engineering teams. It captures the decisions your team makes across the tools you already use - Slack, Teams, Jira, GitHub, Linear - and links them into one searchable, authoritative source of truth that people and AI agents can check before they ship.
Your agents know the code. They don't know the company. ADRs catch the big calls; the hundreds of smaller ones - scattered across chat, tickets and PRs - leave both your engineers and your agents blind to what still stands, what conflicts, and why. Align makes them one graph you check before shipping.
Why teams use Align
Every engineering team makes hundreds of decisions: architecture choices, trade-offs, approvals and sign-offs. They live in scattered Slack threads, Jira comments and meeting notes. Six months later, when someone asks "why did we do it this way?", nobody can find the answer - and an AI agent confidently builds on context it couldn't see.
Align fixes that by:
- Capturing decisions where they happen, via a simple
@alignmention or/aligncommand - Linking them into a graph - decisions, evidence, participants and the relationships between them
- Catching cross-team conflicts before they ship, instead of after
- Serving deterministic context to AI agents through a built-in MCP server
- Providing audit trails for compliance and governance
Align complements ADRs - it doesn't replace them. It surfaces the smaller, everyday decisions that never make it into a formal record.
