Multilith — AI-Native Project Management for Claude Code
Multilith connects product vision to codebase governance. It's the quality and verification layer that complements AI coding tools.
What It Does
- Active Context Injection — Automatically injects relevant architectural decisions, patterns, and vision context into Claude Code sessions
- Vision Board Integration — Promote visions to Build mode, auto-generate acceptance criteria and test plans, launch development with full context
- Governance Enforcement —
smart_edit validates every code change against your ADRs and patterns before writing
- Episode Capture — Records file saves and terminal commands for organizational memory
- Semantic Search — Find decisions, patterns, and code symbols by meaning, not just keywords
Getting Started
- Install the extension
- Run Multilith: Setup Wizard from the command palette
- Enter your project token (get one at multilith.app)
- Start coding — context is injected automatically
Requirements
- VS Code 1.85+
