SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the multi-step setup required to get Archon extensions running on a machine by fetching extension bundles, installing extension definition files, registering the system with the Archon MCP registry, and linking the machine to a project if available.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated registration: Computes a system fingerprint, prompts for a system name, and calls MCP manage_extensions to register the machine.
  • Extension installation and verification: Downloads extension and command tarballs from the configured archon_mcp_url, extracts them to the selected install directory, and verifies installed skills by checking for SKILL.md files.
  • State management & project linking: Reads and merges .claude/archon-state.json, preserves existing fields, records last_bootstrap timestamp, and optionally links the system to a project using archon_project_id.
  • Use Case: Ideal for onboarding a new developer laptop, provisioning CI runners, or syncing a developer environment to the organisation's extension registry.

Quick Start

Run the archon-bootstrap skill to fetch and install registry extensions, register this machine, and optionally link it to the current project.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Archon extension installation on a new developer machine?▼

Automated Archon extension installation downloads extension tarballs from the configured archon_mcp_url, extracts definition files to your chosen directory, and verifies installed skills by checking for SKILL.md files.

What is needed to register a local system with the Archon MCP registry?▼

Registering a local system with the Archon MCP registry requires calling MCP manage_extensions, providing a computed system fingerprint, prompting for a system name, and having write permissions to .claude state files.

Can I use archon-bootstrap to sync project-scoped extensions for CI runners?▼

Yes, bootstrapping Archon extensions applies to CI runners during initial setup or when syncing project-scoped or global extensions, requiring network access to the configured archon_mcp_url for tarball downloads.

Does bootstrapping Archon extensions require MCP health_check calls?▼

Yes, bootstrapping Archon extensions requires MCP health_check and manage_extensions calls, network access to the configured archon_mcp_url, and write permissions to the chosen install directory and .claude state files.

How does state management work when linking a machine to an Archon project?▼

State management reads and merges .claude/archon-state.json, preserves existing fields, records a last_bootstrap timestamp, and optionally links the system to a project using the archon_project_id.
