Overview
Astryx is an open-source, high-performance solution engineered to solve foundational workflow challenges in the TypeScript ecosystem. Built on local-first principles to ensure privacy, performance, and complete data ownership, it provides a unified architecture for modern developers and technical power users.
How It Works
Astryx operates through structured, deterministic execution stages:
Design Token Ingestion: Compiles and synchronizes cross-platform design tokens (colors, typography, spacing, shadows) across design tools and codebases.
Agent-Ready Component Synthesis: Generates accessible, themeable React and Next.js components with built-in semantic schemas optimized for AI coding agents.
Visual Regression & Sandbox Testing: Mounts components in isolated Storybook sandboxes to validate token contrast, layout shifts, and responsive behaviors.
Multi-Target Package Export: Distributes versioned, tree-shakeable UI packages with full TypeScript type definitions to enterprise registries.
Key Technical Features & Capabilities
High-Performance Architecture: Engineered on top of TypeScript, minimizing runtime latency and resource overhead.
Local-First Reliability: Executes core workloads locally on host hardware with zero unexpected external telemetry or cloud vendor lock-in.
Extensible Modularity: Cleanly decoupled module boundaries enable rapid integration, custom scripting, and plugin ecosystem extensibility.
Standardized Developer Tooling: Incorporates automated dependency workflows, reproducible builds, and developer-friendly CLI hooks.

How to Use & Workflow
1Application Launch: Launch Astryx to initialize runtime state and local storage caches.
2Configuration & Workspace: Set up local configuration, environment flags, or CLI paths.
3Execution Workflow: Execute automated pipelines or interact through the visual interface.
4Data Verification: Review generated outputs stored deterministically in designated directories.
Troubleshooting & Common Issues
Issue: Port or Resource Collision on Startup.
*Cause*: A zombie process or background daemon is holding active port bindings.
*Resolution*: Terminate holding processes before relaunching the application.
Issue: Missing native toolchain dependencies during build.
*Cause*: Host system lacks C++ or platform compilation tools.
*Resolution*: Install Xcode Command Line Tools (macOS) or Visual Studio Build Tools (Windows).
