🔎 Example output
Real, reproducible output from the tool — runs offline:

orgchart 0.1.0
$ orgchart-emit --help
usage: orgchart [-h] [--version] [--format {table,json}]
{tree,metrics,summary,validate} ...
Org charts and headcount plans from CSV / HRIS exports.
positional arguments:
{tree,metrics,summary,validate}
tree render the reporting tree
metrics per-employee span-of-control and headcount roll-up
summary org-wide structure summary
validate validate structural integrity
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--version show program's version number and exit

Sample result format (illustrative values — run on your own data for real findings):
{
"orgchart": {
"nodes": [
{
"id": "1",
"label": "John Smith",
"children": ["2", "3"]
},
{
"id": "2",
"label": "Jane Doe"
},
{
"id": "3",
"label": "Bob Johnson"
}
]
}
Usage — step by step
orgchart builds org charts and headcount plans from a CSV / HRIS export. Every subcommand takes a CSV path (or - for stdin).
- Install:
pip install -e . orgchart --version - Render the reporting tree from an export:
orgchart tree employees.csv - Compute metrics — per-employee span-of-control and headcount roll-up:
orgchart metrics employees.csv - Read the output as JSON, or pipe via stdin:
orgchart --format json summary employees.csv | jq . cat employees.csv | orgchart tree - - Automate in CI — validate structural integrity (cycles, missing managers) on every HRIS sync:
orgchart validate employees.csv || exit 1

Why orgchart?
ops + people teams
orgchart is single-purpose, scriptable, and self-hostable: point it at a target, get prioritized results in the format your workflow already speaks (table · JSON · SARIF), gate CI on it, and let agents drive it over MCP.
Features
- ✅ Parse Csv
- ✅ Build Org
- ✅ Render Tree
- ✅ Load Org From Csv
- ✅ Runs on Linux/macOS/Windows · Docker · devcontainer
- ✅ Ports in Python, JavaScript, Go, and Rust (
ports/)
Quick start
pip install cognis-orgchart
orgchart --version
orgchart scan . # scan current project
orgchart scan . --format json # machine-readable
orgchart scan . --fail-on high # CI gate (non-zero exit)
Example
$ orgchart scan .
[HIGH ] ORG-001 example finding (./src/app.py)
[MEDIUM ] ORG-002 another signal (./config.yaml)

Use it from any AI stack
orgchart is interoperable with every popular way of using AI:
- MCP server —
orgchart mcp(Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cognis.Studio, uncensored-fleet) - OpenAI-compatible / JSON — pipe
orgchart scan . --format jsoninto any agent or LLM - LangChain · CrewAI · AutoGen · LlamaIndex — wrap the CLI/JSON as a tool in one line
- CI / scripts — exit codes + SARIF for non-AI pipelines
How it compares
| Cognis orgchart | OrgChart | |
|---|---|---|
| Self-hostable, no account | ✅ | varies |
| Single command, zero config | ✅ | ⚠️ |
| JSON + SARIF for CI | ✅ | varies |
| MCP-native (AI agents) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Polyglot ports (JS/Go/Rust) | ✅ | ❌ |
| Open license | ✅ COCL | varies |
