SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you run, set up, and author Archon workflows and commands so you can delegate complex codebase tasks safely using isolated worktrees and configurable DAG flows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Run Archon workflows: Execute existing workflows by name (including issue-fix and PR review patterns) using branch-based worktree isolation.
  • Set up and manage Archon configuration: Guide installation, credential setup, and configuration changes for both CLI and server-backed platforms.
  • Create and author workflows/commands: Provide routing guidance and references for building workflow DAGs, node types, variables, and advanced features like hooks/MCP/skills.
  • Troubleshoot failures: Point you to log and artifact locations and explain common causes of stuck or failing runs.

Quick Start

Use the archon skill to run a workflow for an issue by saying: Run archon workflow archon-fix-github-issue with branch fix/issue-42 and message Fix issue #42.

Frequently Asked Questions about archon

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an Archon workflow to fix a GitHub issue using branch isolation?▼

Run an Archon workflow by specifying its name, a target branch for worktree isolation, and a descriptive message. This executes DAG-based AI workflows safely for codebase automation without conflicting with your main branch.

How do I author a new Archon workflow using DAG YAML?▼

Author Archon workflows by defining DAG YAML files that specify node types, variables, and flow connections. Routing guidance and references help you build workflow DAGs, configure hooks, and integrate advanced features like MCP and skills.

Why does my Archon workflow execution get stuck or fail during a run?▼

Archon workflow execution failures are typically caused by configuration errors or node execution issues. You can troubleshoot these failures by checking specific log and artifact locations to diagnose common causes of stuck or failing runs.

What do I need to set up before configuring Archon CLI commands?▼

Before executing Archon CLI commands, you need to complete the initial installation, configure credentials, and set up the environment for either CLI or server-backed platforms to ensure workflows execute correctly.

Can I use interactive gates within an Archon DAG workflow?▼

Yes, you can use interactive gates within Archon DAG workflows. The system provides operational instructions for managing interactive gates alongside advanced DAG features like hooks and MCP integrations.

What are the limitations of worktree isolation in Archon workflow execution?▼

Worktree isolation in Archon workflow execution requires branch-based naming and prevents direct main branch automation. You must follow CLI invocation patterns strictly to avoid routing errors and ensure safe codebase task delegation.
