Archon

Archon is a Multi-Agent Development Orchestrator designed to streamline autonomous software development through the coordination of AI agents. By managing multiple Claude Code terminals, Archon accelerates the programming process, allowing for a more efficient workflow without the manual task switching typically required in development.

Key Features

• True Parallel Execution: All four terminals initiate tasks simultaneously, eliminating waiting periods and enhancing overall productivity.
• 3-Phase Workflow: The development process is organized into three phases—Build, Integrate, and Test—to ensure robust and reliable outputs.
• Autonomous Terminals: Each terminal operates independently, making its own decisions, generating mock data, and self-verifying its outputs.
• Interface Contracts: Terminals communicate effectively through defined interface contracts, allowing seamless integration of components.
• Built-in Testing: An automatic testing phase runs swift build && swift test, guaranteeing that all code is functional before delivery.
• 14 Expert Subagents: Specialized AI subagents bring expertise in various domains such as SwiftUI, React, databases, machine learning, and marketing, contributing to a comprehensive development approach.
• Real-Time Dashboard: Users can monitor progress through a web dashboard hosted locally at localhost:8420.

How Archon Operates

Archon executes a unique 3-Phase Process that runs all terminals simultaneously:

1. Phase 1: Build
   • Each terminal begins work immediately, creating components such as UI, architecture, documentation, and defining minimal viable product (MVP) scopes.
2. Phase 2: Integrate
   • After building, terminals connect their work based on predefined interface contracts.
3. Phase 3: Test & Verify
   • Final verification occurs with the terminals checking UI compilations and executing all necessary tests.

Example Output

As an illustration, if tasked with creating an iOS SpeedTest app, Archon will produce:

• A fully functional SwiftUI application with MVVM architecture
• Comprehensive network speed measurement tools along with unit tests
• Enhanced UI features including animated indicators and test history with data persistence.

Project Structure

Archon contains a structured directory for effective navigation and customization:

Archon/
├── orchestrator/           # Core Python package
│   ├── orchestrator.py     # Main coordinator that manages phase awareness
│   ├── planner.py          # Task planning designed for parallel execution
│   ├── terminal.py         # Interfaces with Claude Code subprocesses
│   ├── report_manager.py   # Generates structured reports & contracts
│   ├── message_bus.py      # Handles inter-terminal communication

├── templates/              # Stores terminal prompts and designs
└── .claude/               # Contains definitions for subagents

Archon empowers developers by minimizing the complexity of coordinating multiple aspects of software development, ultimately leading to timely and high-quality software delivery.
