Mainline deploy steward. Consumes ready PRs, owns a lease on mainline landing, refreshes PR state, updates stale branches, waits for CI and deploy gates, merges or queues one candidate at a time, and opens repair tasks for failures.
Generates and maintains a design manifest for visual consistency. In existing projects, reads current styles and documents the design language. In new projects, asks a few questions and generates a starter manifest. The post-edit hook reads the manifest and flags deviations.
Unified router that auto-routes user intent to the right direct action, skill, orchestrator, or explicit Operation Control plan. Classifies input by scope, complexity, persistence needs, and parallelism, then dispatches to the cheapest path that can handle it: direct command, skill, marshal, archon, or fleet. Single…
Documentation generator with three modes: function-level (JSDoc/docstrings), module-level (directory READMEs), and API reference (endpoints/exports). Reads existing project doc style and matches it. Never generates docs that just restate what the signature already says.
Research-driven multi-cycle improvement director. Forms causal hypotheses about why scores are low, validates them with scout agents before attacking, dispatches axis-parallel fleet attacks, extracts transferable patterns, and runs indefinitely within a budget envelope. Accumulates a persistent belief model and…
Parallel campaign orchestrator. Runs multiple campaigns in coordinated waves within a single session. Spawns 2-3 agents per wave in isolated worktrees, collects discoveries, shares context between waves. Use when work decomposes into 3+ independent streams that can run simultaneously.
Relentless one-question-at-a-time interview that sharpens a vague plan or design into shared understanding before any build. The elicitation engine other planning skills call instead of inventing their own interview. Auto-trigger when the user says "grill me", asks to stress-test a plan, or starts a feature whose…
Cross-drive storage audit and cleanup. Surveys all drives, finds orphaned git worktrees, large AI tool caches (.ollama, .gemini, .cursor, npm, pip), and buildable artifacts (nodemodules, .venv). Produces a prioritized action plan with specific migration commands. Use when disk space is low or worktrees need cleanup…
Autonomous quality improvement loop. Scores a target against a rubric, selects the highest-leverage axis, attacks it, verifies, documents, and loops. No pre-planning between iterations — each loop re-scores from scratch.
Reads docker-compose, env files, ORM configs, and connection strings to map current infrastructure. Flags missing layers (cache, queue, analytics) based on observed access patterns. Outputs a structured infrastructure manifest.
Knowledge compiler. Extracts patterns, decisions, and anti-patterns from completed campaigns and evolve cycles, then compiles them into structured wiki pages that integrate with existing knowledge rather than appending isolated files. Implements flush→compile→lint pipeline. Auto-triggered by /postmortem and /evolve…
Mid-build visual verification loop. Takes screenshots of components during construction, not just after. Catches visual regressions and invisible features before they compound. Requires Playwright or similar screenshot tool.
Bounded foreground repetition for the current session. Creates a loop contract, runs or coordinates an action plus verifier up to a declared attempt limit, and records evidence under .planning/loops/. Use for repeat-until-pass work that is too small for daemon and not time-based scheduling.
Structural codebase index generator. Builds a compact JSON map of files, exports, imports, dependency graph, and roles. Queryable by keyword. Injected into fleet agents as context slices to reduce token usage on code navigation.
Meta-orchestrator that takes any direction — broad, specific, or vague — and autonomously chains skills and context into actionable work. Gathers context from codebase, docs, and memory. Only asks the user when it genuinely cannot proceed. Single-session orchestrator.
Reviews pending fleet worktree merges before they're accepted. Reads the merge-check queue, detects file-level conflicts between branches, proposes a safe merge order, and surfaces reconciliation plans for overlapping changes.
Repository structure only: directory layout, file placement, naming conventions, and where-does-this-belong decisions. Detects the project's convention, audits files against it, and executes move plans with import-path updates. Never changes code inside files beyond the import updates a move forces; in-file…
Auto-generates a structured postmortem from a completed campaign. Reads the campaign file, telemetry logs, and feature ledger. Produces a documented analysis of what broke, what the safety systems caught, and what patterns emerged. Can also be invoked manually for any incident.
Local PR watcher. Monitors CI status, automatically fixes failing checks by reading failure logs and applying targeted fixes, then optionally merges when all checks pass. Local CLI analog to Claude Code's cloud auto-fix feature.
Generates a Product Requirements Document from a natural language app description. Asks clarifying questions, researches similar apps, defines scope, stack, architecture, and produces a structured PRD that Archon can decompose into a campaign.
Browser-based QA verification. Launches a real browser, navigates the app, clicks buttons, fills forms, and tests user flows. Works as a standalone skill or as a phase end condition in campaigns. Requires Playwright (optional dependency, graceful skip if not installed).
Safe multi-file refactoring with automatic rollback. Establishes a type/test baseline, plans all changes, executes file-by-file, and verifies zero regressions. Reverts if verification fails after two fix attempts. Handles renames, extracts, moves, splits, merges, and inlines.
Focused research investigations. Converts questions into structured findings with confidence levels and source citations. Single agent by default; with --parallel (or when the question decomposes into 3+ independent angles) it spawns scout agents whose findings are compressed into a unified brief. Does not make…
