Archon is a workflow engine for AI coding agents that turns development processes into YAML-defined sequences with phases, validation gates, and artifacts. Developers use it to run repeatable processes such as planning, implementation, testing, code review, and pull-request creation across projects. The catalogue entries provide commands, agents, skills, hooks, instructions, and settings for working with Archon.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00009 | $0.00267 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00005 | $0.00133 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00053 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00027 |
Grade A, and why
prime-components scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
What it actually says
Prime Components: How to Build Components
Objective
Understand the component patterns used in this codebase so you can build new components correctly.
Process
- Study the UI primitives in
client/src/components/ui/(shadcn components) - Study
client/src/lib/utils.tsfor thecn()utility - Study feature components as examples:
client/src/components/flags-table.tsx- data display patternclient/src/components/flag-form-modal.tsx- form with dialog patternclient/src/components/delete-confirm-dialog.tsx- confirmation dialog pattern
Output
Produce a scannable summary of what you learned:
- UI Library: Available shadcn components
- Styling: How Tailwind and cn() are used
- Props Pattern: How props interfaces are defined
- Composition: How feature components compose UI primitives
- State: How local state is managed in components
Use bullet points. Keep it concise.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

prime-components is a command published in the GitHub repository coleam00/Archon (23,398 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 9 tokens to every session and 267 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-08.
