Commands Reference

Primary Commands

Bootstrap the Archon Protocol ecosystem or run a health check.

Fresh install: scans project, detects tech stack, generates archon.config.yaml, verifies deployment.

Health check: verifies all files exist, config matches project, reports gaps.

Full delivery pipeline for a one-line requirement.

Field	Value
Agent	`archon-demand.md`
Skill	`archon-demand/SKILL.md`
Preloads	archon-code-quality, archon-test-sync, archon-async-loading, archon-error-handling

Stages:

Stage	What happens
0	Refactor alignment (read plan if exists)
1	Implement under constraints
1.5	Linter verification (run lint, read errors, fix)
2	Performance audit
3	6-dimension self-audit (3.1 rules, 3.2 structure, 3.3 edge cases, 3.4 tests, 3.5 i18n, 3.6 evolution)
4	Fix all issues
5	Update refactor progress
6	Commit

Opt-out flags:

Flag	Skips	Best for
`quick`	Stages 2, 3.5, 3.6, 5	Hotfixes, small changes, styling
`no-commit`	Stage 6	Exploration, review before commit
`skip-tests`	Stage 3.4	Pure visual/styling changes

Flags can be combined: quick no-commit skip-tests for minimal pipeline with manual review.

Full project health check. Read-only — does not modify code.

Field	Value
Agent	`archon-audit.md`
Skill	`archon-audit/SKILL.md`
Mode	Read-only
Preloads	archon-code-quality, archon-test-sync

Produces a scored report (0-100) across 5 dimensions: lint, tests, rule compliance, architecture, documentation.

Generate a progressive refactoring plan with milestones.

Field	Value
Agent	`archon-refactor.md`
Skill	`archon-refactor/SKILL.md`

Saves plan to docs/refactor-plan.md. Future /archon-demand calls automatically align with the plan.

Independent validation of claimed work.

Skeptically verifies: code exists, tests pass, no TODOs left, no regressions.

These are called by /archon-demand, not directly by users:

Workflow	Agent	Skill	Called by
Self-audit	`archon-self-auditor.md`	`archon-self-auditor/SKILL.md`	demand Stage 3
Test runner	`archon-test-runner.md`	`archon-test-runner/SKILL.md`	demand Stage 3.4
