What problem does it solve?
Archon solves the problem of managing large, multi-session engineering work that would otherwise lose context, drift in scope, or suffer from inconsistent quality by providing persistent campaign state, structured decomposition, and enforced verification between sessions.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Strategic Decomposition: Breaks a direction into 3–8 machine-verifiable phases with explicit end conditions.
- Delegation & Orchestration: Spawns and coordinates sub-agents with full context injection and logs delegation lifecycle events.
- Continuation & Checkpointing: Creates git stash checkpoints, writes Continuation State, and can daemonize longer campaigns for automated continuation.
- Quality & Safety Gates: Runs quality spot-checks, regression guards, anti-pattern scans, and verification steps (typechecks, tests) before advancing.
- Recovery & Telemetry: Provides rollback procedures, Decision Logs, and telemetry hooks for campaign lifecycle tracking.
- Use Case: Long-running refactors, cross-system feature builds, or complex migrations that require staged work, review, and persistent state across sessions.
Quick Start
Invoke Archon with a short direction like "Refactor the auth flow into modular services" or run /archon to resume an active campaign.
