Context for the agentic era

ctx (Context Pipe) is built by Jakub and Tom — the same team behind appear.sh. Appear pioneered the programmable automation layer for API schema lifecycle: schema-last discovery, validation, documentation, and AI-native integrations. It was built on a simple insight: developers and their tools need rich, structured context — not just raw data — to move fast.

That lineage matters. Jakub and Tom have spent years building context-providing dev tools. Appear gave APIs structure that agents could reason over. But as coding agents moved from assistants to primary actors, a new gap emerged: agents need deep, structural understanding of entire codebases — modules, functions, types, dependencies, ownership, and how it all connects. Search and RAG surface snippets. They don't give agents the graph.

Context Pipe is the extension of that need. It's the knowledge graph infrastructure built for an agentic-native world. Same philosophy — give tools the context they need to act intelligently — applied to the software engineering ontology. Repos, domains, tools, and org structure. Typed entities. Traversable relationships. An agent that can ask "how does auth middleware work?" and get a real answer, not a ranked list of files.

We're building the infrastructure layer that makes coding agents capable of structural reasoning. Open-source core. Enterprise ready. Built by people who've been solving this problem for years.
