Current release · 1.4.8-public.1

The audited Helper release is available.

Version 1.4.8-public.1 passed licensing, corresponding-source, packaged-byte, dependency, security, privacy, and provenance gates against the exact release candidate. It adds the finalized seven-macro bundle and the current local machining and Work Logger workflow improvements.

Windows notice: the installer is unsigned and may trigger SmartScreen. Kaspersky 21.26 found zero detections or suspicions in the exact release; Defender was disabled on the build host. Verify the published SHA-256 before running it.

Purpose-built automation

Keep common engineering actions close at hand.

Excelsis Helper brings recent-document access, searchable document discovery, macro launching, and related workflow tools into one local Windows application.

Quick access to recent engineering documents.
Local search with read-only document thumbnails and previews.
Organized macro descriptions and launch controls.
Work Logger and local MPF analysis with privacy controls.

Excelsis Helper document search interface — Search and workflow organization from the previous public site, preserved during the repository split.

Excelsis Helper macro runner interface — Macro discovery and launch controls in Excelsis Helper.

Clear workflow surfaces

Automation should stay understandable.

The project favors visible actions, readable descriptions, and bounded local processing. Public releases include exact source, dependency notices, checksums, and a documented security review.

An open, AI-assisted parametric CAD direction.

The longer-term goal is to turn images, prompts, dimensions, thread sizes, bounding boxes, and other constraints into editable parametric CAD features. The current direction explores an open CAD engine and a feature architecture that remains understandable to both people and coding agents.

Practical CAD first

Sketch, extrude, cut, fillet, constraints, and dependable regeneration remain the foundation before more ambitious AI workflows.

Persistent engineering intent

The proposed architecture separates visible evaluated geometry from persistent engineering references so downstream features can survive topology changes more reliably.

People wanted

CAD developers, UI contributors, testers, technical writers, manufacturing users, and AI-coding experimenters are welcome. Future directions include assemblies, CAM, FEM, semantic feature graphs, and resilient model regeneration.
