Synaptic Mesh, under Ask at synapse.synheart.ai, shows the story behind your code: which decisions shaped it, what came from each one, and who did the work. It’s built from your organization’s indexed knowledge sources and connected work. Everyone with a seat can open it.

​
My Mesh and Org Mesh

  • My Mesh shows your own work and what it connects to. Everyone sees it.
  • Org Mesh shows the whole organization. It’s for Synapse Leads and Admins, and the organization owner. Members don’t see the switch.

Two views

Timeline tells the story of one piece of code or one decision through time: what it was built because of, what was added under it, and what replaced it. Network is the whole map. Drag nodes, pan and zoom, or use Fit to view. Select a node to read its details. A trail of the nodes you’ve opened runs through both views, so something you read in the timeline can be found on the map and back. Search for code or a decision with Find code or a decision. The legend turns categories on and off: decisions, code, documents and notes, issues and tickets, pull requests and commits, and people. Each link says how two things relate, for example:
  • Built because of and Added under: code that follows a decision.
  • Replaces and Replaced by: a decision that superseded another.
  • Addresses, Fixed by, Caused by: work tied to an issue or incident.
  • Written by, Top contributor: who did the work.
Decisions are drawn bigger when more code follows them. A decision with nothing linked says No code follows it yet. Code links to a decision when a commit mentions its id, such as ADR-0006, or when the decision is saved in the code’s folder. Items linked to nothing are marked as gaps, so you can see what still needs a decision or an owner.

​
Ask your agent about a node

A node’s details include Ask your AI (MCP). Ask “Why was this created?” and Find related context copy a prompt that names the node. Paste it into Claude Code, Cursor or another agent connected to Synapse, and it answers from the same memory. See Connect your agent.

​
Restricted items

Some documents are restricted at their source, or by an admin. A restricted item keeps its place on the map so the shape of the story stays true, but its title and content are never shown. It appears as Restricted item. You can hide restricted items from the legend. Restricting or un-restricting a document is recorded in the audit log.

​
Human state on the map

If you’ve connected Life by Synheart, your own nodes can show Your state across this work: your readings near the time you did it. Human state appears only on your own nodes, for every role. A teammate’s node never carries their human state, whoever is looking, including Leads, Admins and the owner. If your organization has turned off human state, or you haven’t connected Life, the map says so and shows no readings. See Team views and privacy.
