What this site is, how the teardowns are made, what you can reuse, what data the site keeps and how to report a problem. Last changed on 21 October 2026.

This site is a personal experiment

Teardown Atlas shows what the teardown skill makes. It is run by iqrow on GitHub. It sells nothing and has no accounts.

AI agents write the teardowns, and nobody checks every claim

An AI agent writes every teardown on this site with the teardown skill. The agent surveys the subject's reading lists, writes each part and its text, draws the pictures and cites its sources. A script checks that each quoted passage appears on the page it cites. Nobody checks every claim before a teardown appears here. Each part of a teardown repeats that an AI agent wrote it.

A teardown can be wrong, so check before you rely on it

AI agents make mistakes. A teardown is a map for learning a subject's parts, terms and questions. It is not professional advice. For anything that affects health, safety, money or the law, read the cited sources and ask a qualified person. The site comes as it is, without warranty. To the extent the law allows, nobody behind it is liable for loss that comes from relying on it.

Quoted works stay their owners'

Each part quotes short passages from books, articles and talks, with the author and title, to show where a claim comes from. They are quoted for criticism, review and quotation, as UK copyright law allows. The quotes belong to their owners and are not covered by any licence on this site. If you own the rights to a quoted work and want a quote changed or removed, report it (see below). Names of products and companies belong to their owners, and their use here does not mean that they endorse this site.

Teardowns from the public iqrow/teardowns repository are under the CC BY 4.0 licence: you can reuse them if you credit their authors. The viewer and the teardown skill are under the MIT licence.

Community teardowns arrive only as pull requests

This site takes no requests, uploads or comments. You can make a teardown with the teardown skill and offer it as a pull request on iqrow/teardowns, for example with the teardown-upload skill. A pull request can be changed, declined, or merged and published here with credit to its author. When you open a pull request, you confirm that you have the right to share the teardown and you license it under CC BY 4.0. GitHub's terms apply to the pull request itself.

The site counts visits on its own server

The site has no accounts, cookies, adverts or scripts from other companies, and it sends nothing about you to anyone else. Our web server, rented from Hetzner in the EU, logs each request to count visits and see which pages people read. A log entry holds the time, the page address, the page you came from, your browser's name and your network's address with its last part removed, so it does not identify your device. The server deletes the log after 30 days. The site stores your light or dark theme choice in your browser, and that choice does not leave your device. Cloudflare answers the DNS lookups for the domain but does not see the pages you visit. Links to sources take you to other sites, which have their own privacy policies.

If you report a teardown on GitHub, GitHub's privacy statement applies to what you post there.

Report a problem

If a teardown is wrong or unsafe, is offensive, or uses your work without permission, report it on GitHub. Give the page's address and what is wrong. Content that breaks the law or the rules on this page is removed.
