"We are the eyes of the universe opening after a long sleep. Our work is to create, care, and understand."
UniverLab is an open ecosystem for practical developer tooling, scientific workflows, and agent systems.
We build software with low friction, strong ethics, and long-term maintainability.

astro-denoise-*: denoising benchmark research on DESC DC2 / LSST datacadforge: architecture-as-code with deterministic CAD generation
| Principle | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| One tool, one job | Narrow scope, strong UX, reliable behavior |
| Reproducibility first | Deterministic outputs, documented assumptions |
| Offline-friendly design | Minimal hard dependency on external runtimes/services |
| Backward compatibility | New capabilities should preserve stable defaults |
| Community-centered growth | Mentorship, clear docs, and transparent reviews |
Phase 1: texforge ✅ completed
Phase 2: gitkit ✅ completed
Phase 2.5: workflows 🔄 in progress
Phase 3: agent-canopy ⏳ next
Parallel tracks: astro-denoise-*, cadforge.
- Open an issue or discussion with problem context.
- Use conventional commits and focused pull requests.
- Run tests/lint locally before opening a PR.
- Keep docs/specs updated when behavior changes.
See:
We treat software as a moral practice, not only a technical one.
- Build tools that increase human agency.
- Prefer transparent systems over black-box convenience.
- Balance speed with accountability.
- Keep science and engineering reproducible.
