What problem does it solve?
The archon-dev skill solves the problem of inconsistent, non-repeatable AI-driven software development by routing every development task (research through PR creation) into a deterministic, evidence-based workflow with clear phases and guardrails.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Intent-based routing to specialized cookbooks: Automatically selects the right workflow for research, investigate, PRD writing, planning, implementation, review, debugging, committing, PR creation, or issue reporting.
- Evidence-first development rules: Enforces “file:line” evidence for codebase claims and prohibits speculation when uncertain.
- Artifact-driven workflow structure: Writes standardized outputs into
.claude/archon/ (plans, reports, issues, reviews, debug, research) to keep work traceable and composable.
Quick Start
Tell the skill what you are trying to do, for example: send “plan migrate caching layer” to create an implementation plan for the requested change.
