SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill centralizes scattered knowledge and streamlines project management, eliminating manual searches and inefficient task tracking. It empowers your AI assistant to instantly access, manage, and update critical information, freeing you to focus on high-value work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RAG-powered Semantic Search: Instantly find relevant documentation, code examples, and technical knowledge across all indexed sources with advanced retrieval augmented generation.
  • Automated Knowledge Ingestion: Effortlessly crawl websites and upload documents (PDF, Word, Markdown) to build a comprehensive, searchable knowledge base.
  • Hierarchical Project & Task Management: Organize development projects, features, and tasks, enabling your AI to track progress, assign work, and coordinate complex workflows.
  • Use Case: Imagine you're a software engineer needing to understand a legacy system. Instead of sifting through outdated wikis and file shares, use Archon to index all available documentation. Your AI can then answer specific questions, suggest code implementations, and even create tasks for refactoring, all while you rest.

Quick Start

I need to find information about implementing OAuth2 authentication. Search the Archon knowledge base for 'OAuth2 authentication best practices'.

Create a new project in Archon called 'Website Redesign' with the description 'Overhaul the company website with a modern UI/UX'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search documentation and knowledge bases using semantic search?

Semantic search in Archon uses RAG to find relevant documentation, code examples, and technical knowledge across indexed sources. Connect to your Archon host via REST API, then query the knowledge endpoint with your search terms to retrieve contextually matched results instantly.

How do I upload documents and crawl websites to build a searchable knowledge base?

Archon automates knowledge ingestion by accepting PDF, Word, and Markdown uploads plus website crawling. Use the documents endpoint to ingest files, and Archon indexes them for immediate semantic search retrieval across your centralized knowledge base.

Can I organize projects and tasks hierarchically with Archon?

Yes. Archon supports hierarchical project and task management via REST API endpoints. Create multi-level projects, assign tasks, track progress, and coordinate complex workflows—enabling your AI to manage dependencies and updates across development initiatives.

What's the workflow for connecting to and verifying an Archon instance?

Read api_reference.md to understand endpoints, collect your Archon host URL, verify connectivity with GET /api/projects, then use correct endpoint paths for knowledge, projects, tasks, and documents. This mandatory setup ensures reliable API communication.

Does Archon work with multi-agent workflows and task coordination?

Yes. Archon coordinates multi-agent workflows through hierarchical projects and tasks accessible via REST API. Agents can query knowledge, create tasks, update project status, and share context—enabling orchestrated collaboration across complex software development processes.

What file formats does Archon support for document upload and indexing?

Archon accepts PDF, Word, and Markdown documents for upload. These files are indexed into your searchable knowledge base and made immediately available for semantic search and retrieval through the REST API.
