Choose the right Compass for the work in front of you.
A storefront for local-first AI tools that help you critique writing, improve prompts, ground research, prepare games, build job packets, and audit UX work without turning every task into a giant system.
Critical Compass, Prompt Compass, and UX Heuristics Compass are the current public beta downloads. The alpha tools are listed so the suite has a home, but their public downloads stay locked until their pages, packages, and privacy boundaries are ready.

Download and Open GuideThe Compass Suite is a family of local-first AI helpers. Each Compass gives an AI assistant a bounded job, a clearer workflow, and a stronger standard for when to ask, retrieve, validate, or stop.
These tools favor narrow workflows, local files, clear install paths, conservative claims, and validation before polished output. They are designed to help a host AI work more carefully instead of simply sounding more confident.
They do not replace human judgment, guarantee truth, or make private material public. Alpha products may change quickly, so this suite page describes them lightly until their public contracts settle.
Each Compass has its own home page and release notes. This page gives the suite a single front door so people can choose the right tool without learning every project history first.
Use it when the question is whether a text should be trusted, revised, verified, reframed, or handled with more care.
Use it when an AI instruction is vague, brittle, too broad, missing constraints, or aimed at the wrong model or surface.
Use it for session sparks, table-ready creative material, and support that keeps rules and prep from breaking the flow.
Use it to frame a research-shaped question, choose the right evidence lane, and keep private notes separate from public sources.
Use it privately to map a job description to verified evidence and produce application materials without inventing claims.
Use it for structured heuristic reviews of screens, captures, visible usability issues, severity, and stakeholder-ready audit output.
Job Application Compass stays locked until a public scrub proves that private career material, contact details, application history, private links, and local-only evidence files are not exposed.
Most Compass tools ship in a few formats. Pick the one that matches how you use AI today. You can usually install more than one format if you want both a tool connection and a prompt-only fallback.
Use this packaged plugin zip for Claude Cowork or Claude Code when you want the full tool connection.
Use the MCPB or extension file when you already have Claude Desktop installed.
Use this when you want the prompt-only version or when the host does not support the MCP connector yet.
Use this for source review, technical install, or local inspection before trusting a package.
Host apps change their exact plugin and extension flows. The dedicated Compass pages remain the authority for product-specific steps, checksums, examples, and troubleshooting.
Plain-language answers for people who are still mapping the AI tooling landscape.
MCP means Model Context Protocol. It is a way for an AI host to connect to tools, local data, and structured workflows. In plain terms: it lets the AI ask a local tool to do a bounded job instead of improvising everything in chat.
A skill is a packaged instruction set the AI can read and follow. It is usually lighter than an MCP because it may not expose local tools or databases, but it can still guide the AI through a workflow.
Claude Desktop is Anthropic's desktop app for using Claude on your computer. It can work with local extensions and MCP connectors when those are installed and approved.
Codex is a coding-oriented AI environment. It is useful when a Compass needs local files inspected, packages validated, tests run, or source installs handled carefully.
Claude is the AI model family. Claude Desktop is an app for using Claude on your computer. Codex is a coding-agent environment with strong local file and command-line workflows.
Local-first means the product is designed to run from files and tools on your machine when possible. It reduces dependence on hosted services, but you still need to review any third-party package before installing it.
Alpha products change quickly. A download appears here only after the product has a public-safe page, package, checksum, and private-data boundary review. Critical Compass, Prompt Compass, and UX Heuristics Compass currently meet that bar.
No. Public download buttons point directly to release files. GitHub is where the public files are hosted.
