Tesseract Documentation

Everything you need to design, navigate, and share your software architectures in 3D isometric.

Getting Started

Install Tesseract, connect Claude AI, and generate your first architecture in 5 minutes.

Components, layers, connections, and subgraphs — the building blocks of every Tesseract architecture.

The Editor

Editor Interface

Canvas, toolbar, side panel, and layer legend — tour the main workspace and its controls.

Create, edit, position, and style architecture components. Shapes, properties, and drag-and-drop.

Link components together with typed connections. Protocols, labels, and visual routing.

Navigation & Subgraphs

Dive into nested architectures with multi-level zoom. Breadcrumbs, keyboard shortcuts, and hierarchy.

Workflows

Record and visualize data paths through your architecture. Multi-path flows and animated replay.

Persist your work as .tesseract.json files. Auto-save, file format, and project recovery.

AI Integration

Claude AI & MCP

Connect Claude Code to Tesseract. Let AI read, create, and modify your architecture in real time.
