**Makes legacy codebases AI-native.** KAUT is self-maintaining, AI-first documentation for your project — a knowledge layer that makes undocumented, weak-context code legible to AI agents. Not a memory of conversations — a knowledge base about the system itself: what it does, how it is structured, and why. It turns what agents learn while working into living documentation — so no session starts from zero.

Zero-dependency Node.js (≥ 20, developed on 24), Apache-2.0. **Developed and tested on macOS and Linux** (CI runs Linux, Node 20 and 24); Windows is not supported.

**A complete, standalone product.** One `git clone` is the whole install; point your harness at the bundled MCP server (or call the CLI from any skill/prompt) and it works — no orchestrator, no framework, no services, no accounts, nothing else to deploy. It composes with the sibling [TAUT](https://github.com/yurgeno/taut) orchestration framework (TAUT drives agents, KAUT is what they know) — but that integration is optional, not a dependency.

**Status: v0.9.0 — the full loop is live.** Reading: `lookup` (one-call ready answer) with freshness verdicts (merge-base-anchored, never crying "fresh" when unsure), trust tiers, and the `altitude` co
