The PRIMARY development workflow for the Archon project (remote-coding-agent). Use this skill instead of any PRP skills when working on Archon code.
EnglishMaster Archon MCP for strategic project management, task tracking, and knowledge base operations. The strategic layer (WHAT/WHEN) that coordinates with Skills (HOW). Use when managing projects, tracking tasks, querying knowledge bases, or implementing the Archon+Skills two-layer architecture.
EnglishUse when: User wants to INSPECT, MONITOR, START, APPROVE, or CONTROL Archon workflow RUNS in the current project — driven through the archon CLI over bash. Triggers (inspect): "what's running", "list runs", "show recent runs", "run status", "did the review pass", "check run ", "show me run ", "what happened in that run". Triggers (control): "approve the plan", "approve run ", "reject that run", "cancel that run", "abandon run ", "resume run ", "continue that run". Triggers (start): "start in the background", "kick off detached". Capability: Drives archon workflow runs/get/status/run --detach/approve/reject/abandon/resume with machine-readable --json output, scoped to the current project by cwd. NOT for: Authoring workflows/commands, or Archon setup/config — use the broader archon skill.
EnglishReplicate and validate a GitHub issue by spinning up Archon, analyzing the issue, and systematically testing all described symptoms using browser automation. Use when: User wants to reproduce a bug, validate a GitHub issue, confirm a reported problem, or investigate whether an issue is real before working on a fix. Triggers: "replicate issue", "reproduce issue", "validate issue", "confirm bug", "test issue", "can you reproduce", "try to replicate", "verify the bug". Capability: Checks out main, pulls latest, starts Archon, reads the GitHub issue, then uses agent-browser to systematically test every symptom and produce a findings report. NOT for: Fixing issues (use /archon or /exp-piv-loop:fix-issue), general UI testing (use /validate-ui).
EnglishAutonomous rule adherence checker. Scans the codebase for rule violations, fixes the highest-impact ones in an isolated worktree, runs full validation, creates a PR. Uses memory to track progress across runs.
EnglishVerify a released archon binary works end-to-end via a specific install path. Use when: cutting a new release, reproducing a user bug report on the released version, or validating that a hotfix binary actually works after a re-tag. Triggers: "test the release", "test 0.3.1 via brew", "verify the curl install", "smoke test the binary", "did the release binary work", "run /test-release", "verify the release". NOT for: testing dev work (use bun link directly), testing unreleased changes (build locally via scripts/build-binaries.sh first), or running the full validate suite (bun run validate is separate).
EnglishComprehensive end-to-end validation of the Archon Web UI using browser automation and codebase review. Use when: User wants to validate, test, or audit the Archon web interface, find UI/UX bugs, test workflow management, verify parallel agent orchestration, or run comprehensive browser-based E2E tests. Triggers: "validate ui", "test the ui", "e2e test", "browser test", "validate archon", "test archon ui", "ui audit", "ux review", "comprehensive test", "validate everything". Capability: Starts Archon, runs exhaustive browser automation tests via agent-browser CLI, performs codebase review, and produces a detailed bug/UX report. NOT for: Unit tests (use bun test), CLI-only validation (use /validation:validate-simple).
EnglishIncludes Archon Dev, Archon Manager, Manage Run, and other workflows.
Supported by the Atlas install prompt. Skill-specific requirements vary.

What’s included
Archon Dev
The PRIMARY development workflow for the Archon project (remote-coding-agent). Use this skill instead of any PRP skills when working on Archon code. Routes to 10 specialized cookbooks based on what the user is trying to do:
Archon Manager
Master Archon MCP for strategic project management, task tracking, and knowledge base operations. The strategic layer (WHAT/WHEN) that coordinates with Skills (HOW). Use when managing projects, tracking tasks, querying knowledge bases, or implementing the Archon+Skills two-layer architecture.
Manage Run
Use when: User wants to INSPECT, MONITOR, START, APPROVE, or CONTROL Archon workflow RUNS in the current project — driven through the archon CLI over bash. Triggers (inspect): "what's running", "list runs", "show recent runs", "run status", "did the review pass", "check run ", "show me run ", "what happened in that run". Triggers (control): "approve the plan", "approve run ", "reject that run", "cancel that run", "abandon run ", "resume run ", "continue that run".

Rulecheck
Autonomous rule adherence checker. Scans the codebase for rule violations, fixes the highest-impact ones in an isolated worktree, runs full validation, creates a PR. Uses memory to track progress across runs.
Test Release
Verify a released archon binary works end-to-end via a specific install path. Use when: cutting a new release, reproducing a user bug report on the released version, or validating that a hotfix binary actually works after a re-tag.
