What problem does it solve?
Archon lets teams and individuals run AI-driven development workflows reliably without polluting the main checkout, enabling parallel work in isolated git worktrees and preventing context/noise bleed across sessions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Manage and execute Archon workflows in background worktrees to run long-running AI tasks without blocking the shell or main branch.
- Author and validate workflow YAML and command Markdown files, including node types (command, prompt, bash, loop), retry policies, and structured outputs.
- Configure and initialize repository-level Archon settings (.archon/), set up MCP/skills hooks for Claude, and use interactive workflows for human-in-the-loop approvals and guided PRDs.
- Use cases: fix multiple GitHub issues in parallel, run interactive PR reviews, implement feature plans via loop nodes, and automate PR creation from workflow artifacts.
Quick Start
Ask Archon to run a workflow in an isolated worktree in the background by requesting something like "Use archon to fix issue #42" and the system will create a branch worktree, run the appropriate workflow, and report progress.
