Athena

A project-aware, capability-driven advisory framework for AI coding assistants.

Athena is an AI Consultation Runtime. Cursor Composer owns execution; Athena owns consultation.

Features

• Single MCP tool: consult(advisor_type, question, session_context, mode)

• Capability-driven routing across Anthropic, OpenAI, and Ollama providers

• Project memory with SQLite storage and git-based incremental indexing

• Structured advisory responses for Composer to apply
