AI is writing your code. Nobody told it what the software is supposed to be.
ribo.dev is the identity layer for software — a persistent, searchable record of your system's Software DNA. Agents read it via MCP. Teams search it by meaning.
Your agents don't share a brain.
Cursor, Claude, and Copilot... None of them know about the payment idempotency invariant or response time contracts. They generate syntactically correct code that violates the architectural intent of your system because that soul lives only in your head—not in a machine-readable format.
Your specs were stale before the PR merged.
Static documentation is a tombstone for ideas. The moment a developer pushes a "quick fix" to production, the Confluence page becomes a lie. Without a living connection between code and intent, your documentation is just high-latency technical debt.
The person who knew why is gone.
The reasoning is gone. Your agents build on decisions they can't understand. When your lead architect leaves, they take the "why" with them. Future agents and developers are left staring at 50,000 lines of "how" without a single clue as to the "what it's supposed to be."
Reduction in architectural drift
Dev time spent understanding code
Cost of bad software identity
Agent hallucination decrease
Identity, not specs.
The delta, not the document.
We believe software identity is a living stream. It isn't a static document you write once; it's the evolving delta between your intent and your implementation — the collection of Truth Artifacts that define your system.
Intent
The high-level "why" behind a module's existence.
Invariant
The truths that must never be broken by any PR.
Contract
Strict I/O expectations for every agent interaction.
Algorithm
The specific logical steps required for correctness.
Evaluation
How we measure if the software is succeeding.
Pace
Expected frequency and velocity of evolution.
Monitor
Observability hooks for automated identity audits.
Built for teams, tuned for agents.
Visualize the Delta
Every commit is checked against the identity layer. If a PR deviates from an Invariant, you know before it merges.
invariant: "max_latency < 200ms"
timeout_ms = 500;
Semantic Search
Query your architecture in natural language. Ribo understands the meaning of your modules, not just the keywords.
Ribo: Using JWT + Redis revocation.
MCP Server
Expose your system identity to any Model Context Protocol compatible agent. Instant context for every tool.
One identity.
Every agent.
ribo.dev acts as the source of truth for your entire agentic stack. We provide the MCP configuration that connects your identity layer to the tools you use every day.
