Ishoo

The flagship SEMMAP Labs product: an issue tracker built for AI-assisted software development.

Origin

Why Ishoo exists.

Ishoo began as a simple CLI for tracking work in markdown files. It grew into a full desktop issue tracker designed around a new reality: humans and AI agents both need to understand the same project state.

The result is a system where agents can operate through a CLI, humans can manage the work through a polished UI, and both sides stay aligned around plans, progress, issues, architecture decisions, and project context.

Features

What makes it different.

Desktop issue tracking

Purpose-built for AI-assisted development workflows.

CLI and UI parity

Agents operate through commands. Humans operate through a real interface. Same data, same system.

Opaque canonical store

Designed to prevent accidental agent corruption of issue data.

Plans and progress

Structured planning with filtering, stats, and cross-project linking.

ADR storage

Architecture Decision Records live alongside the work they influence.

Harness-agnostic

Works with any AI coding harness. No vendor lock-in.

The Stack

Deeper tooling, unified.

Ishoo is also becoming the place where several SEMMAP Labs systems come together:

OMNI-AST Language-agnostic AST primitives for code analysis.

SEMMAP Codebase orientation — helping AI agents know where to look.

Neti Architectural and code-quality enforcement for AI-generated code.

These systems evolved from real problems. Now they're converging into a coherent stack under Ishoo — orientation, enforcement, and control.

A look inside

Issues, plans, and decisions in one place.

Ishoo issues view — a searchable, filterable list of every work item. — Issues — one canonical list for humans and agents

Ishoo decisions view — Architecture Decision Records that act as the project's constitution. — Decisions — ADRs as the project's constitution
