# Arabic AI Atlas
**The Arabic AI ecosystem as a map, a list, and a skill your agent can install.**
[](https://awesome.re)
[](https://github.com/h9-tec/arabic-ai-atlas/stargazers)
[](LICENSE)
</div>
## Install into your agent
```bash
claude plugin marketplace add h9-tec/arabic-ai-atlas
claude plugin install arabic-ai-atlas@arabic-ai-atlas
```
Requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) on PATH.
Then ask Claude: *which open Arabic TTS runs on a phone?* It answers from this atlas via the `recommend` MCP tool.
<details>
<summary>Any MCP client</summary>
Add this to your `.mcp.json`:
```json
{"mcpServers": {"arabic-ai-atlas": {"command": "uv", "args": ["run", "--frozen", "--no-dev", "--directory", "/path/to/arabic-ai-atlas", "python", "mcp/server.py"]}}}
```
</details>
## How this repo works
- YAML in `data/` is the only hand-edited source.
- CI validates every PR against `data/schema.json`.
- A nightly job pulls Hugging Face downloads and regenerates the map, README, `dist/atlas.json` and `dist/llms.txt`.
- Wanted gaps (`data/wanted.yaml`) are re-evaluated on every build, and `base_model` links build the family tree and the MCP `lineage` tool.
- The repo is itself a Claude Code plugin: 5 skills + an MCP server that reads the atlas offline.

## ๐ค Contributing
1. Edit the YAML in `data/`.
2. Run `uv run python scripts/build.py build` (it uses the committed Hugging Face cache; the nightly job refreshes metrics).
3. Open a PR.
Never hand-edit `README.md`, `docs/tables/`, `assets/`, `dist/` or `data/.cache/`: the build and the nightly job write them, and CI rejects drift.

TDQS
A4.2/5.0
Scored across 3 tools
Disambiguation5/5
The three tools have clearly distinct purposes: `search` does substring matching with exact filters, `recommend` does task/dialect ranked scoring with explanations, and `get` fetches a single entry by id. The descriptions even cross-reference each other (get says 'use search to find ids'), leaving no realistic selection ambiguity.
Naming Consistency5/5
All three names are single lowercase verbs (search, recommend, get) in a uniform style with no mixing of conventions. The pattern is predictable and readable.
Tool Count4/5
Three tools is on the thin side, but for a read-only catalogue the discovery/ranking/retrieval split earns each tool's place. Nothing redundant or missing at the surface level.
Completeness4/5
The read-only domain is well covered: broad search with filters, semantic-ish task recommendations, and full-detail retrieval. Minor gaps exist (no way to list all entries, browse by organization, or enumerate valid filter values beyond the examples), but agents can work around these via search.
