Synaptic Compass
A framework that runs a second, more deliberative AI model alongside a primary coding agent to review its architecture, security, and performance decisions before code is written.
Synaptic Compass adds a second AI model as a strategic advisor that works alongside a primary coding agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or Cline. The advisor model evaluates the primary agent's reasoning, anticipates edge cases, checks architectural assumptions, and flags potential security issues, without writing code itself.
It is intended as a peer-review layer for AI-assisted coding: rather than a single model making decisions in isolation, a second model with a higher reasoning budget and broader context is consulted before code is written or refactored, aiming to catch architectural debt, security blind spots, and repeated flawed reasoning that a narrowly focused coding agent can miss.
It is distributed as a Claude Code plugin and skill, with integrations described for other coding agents and harnesses.
