Shivai is a dependency graph for what you wish to be true. See what's ready. Follow what excites you. Watch the path unfold.
There is a particular kind of work that rarely gets named: the work of tracking the work. Knowing what depends on what, what waits on what, what becomes possible only after something else is done.
Most tools offer you a list. Everything feels equally urgent. Nothing feels clear. Lists flatten; dependencies reveal.
This tool asks a different question: what is actually ready?
This is not a chart you create in advance. You use it live.
Start with a goal. Work toward it. When you hit something that genuinely blocks progress, add it. Draw the dependency. The structure grows from what you actually discover — not from what you imagine might happen.
By degrees, a map emerges. Not a plan imposed upon reality — a record of it.
Some who have used it report that the visible structure quiets a certain kind of anxiety. Lists overwhelmed them — everything equally urgent, the progression never quite making sense. But when the dependencies are drawn, the mind can rest. It need not hold everything at once.
One person cleaned their apartment faster than they thought possible. Not through discipline — the structure was simply outside their head.
This is a prototype. Rougher than I would like. I improve it daily.

What I need is honest feedback. What works, what confuses, what's missing. Find me at @CultivationCat.
Pick something you wish to be true. Work toward it. When something blocks you, add it. Draw the dependency. See what becomes ready.
That is the whole practice.
