​
MERIDIAN Observatory: Your Agentic Solar System

​
What Shipped

MERIDIAN (stratt.dev) now includes the Observatory — a unified, physics-based visualization of the entire STRATT agent ecosystem rendered as an orbital-mechanics simulation. If Obsidian lets you see your documentation’s knowledge graph, MERIDIAN lets you see your agentic solar system.

​
The Celestial Hierarchy

Every entity in the STRATT stack maps to a celestial body:
  • Stars (Councils) — 10 gravitational centres, each with a pulsing glow halo and orbital ring showing team reach. Pathfinder burns Mars red. Athena glows wisdom blue. Hermes radiates gold.
  • Planets (Agents) — 51 agents orbiting their council star, tinted by lineage. Protected agents carry a red shield ring. Gate authorities wear gold. WATNEY-01 orbits Pathfinder. SCRIBE-01 orbits Athena.
  • Moons (Capabilities) — 11 shared capabilities forming a connective belt across all councils. Hover any moon to see which stars and planets it touches.
  • Asteroids (Skills) — 20 skill definitions loosely bound via capability edges, drifting between the bodies they enhance.
  • Debris (Units) — 43 YAML prompt artifacts, type-colored (blue tasks, green chains, purple roles), gravitationally pulled toward their domain’s council.

​
Interactions

  • Obsidian-style hover focus: Select any body and the universe dims except its direct connections — instantly reveals the local neighbourhood
  • Force-directed physics: Nodes self-organize by relationship density. Councils that share many capabilities naturally drift closer. Orphaned units float to the edges.
  • Layer toggles: Show only Stars + Planets (council structure), add Moons (capability map), toggle Debris (unit dependencies) — progressive disclosure of complexity
  • Deep-space canvas: Procedural starfield, Mars-tinted nebulae, orbital rings — atmospheric rendering that reinforces the Martian mission theme throughout

​
What It Replaces

Two separate, flat Cytoscape.js graphs (unit dependencies + skill graph) are now unified into a single Observatory. Old routes preserved with deprecation notices.

​
Positioning

Every AI agent framework shows you a DAG. MERIDIAN shows you a solar system — because the relationship between your councils, agents, capabilities, skills, and prompt artifacts isn’t a dependency tree, it’s a gravitational field. Dense clusters reveal your strongest capabilities. Isolated bodies reveal gaps. The orbital ring radius tells you team size at a glance. This is what “see your agentic architecture” looks like when you stop thinking in rectangles and start thinking in orbits.

​
Technical Approach

Zero new dependencies. One CDN script (force-graph@1). Canvas 2D rendering with shadowBlur for glow effects. Build-time data assembly from existing loaders. Same 10.7s build. 60fps with 134 bodies on screen.
