Archon

Open-source harness builder for deterministic and repeatable AI coding workflows

★ 22,751 GitHub MIT ai-codingworkflow-enginedeveloper-toolsautomationclaudeclicoding-assistanttypescript AI Agents

Overview

Archon is a workflow engine for AI coding agents that makes AI-assisted development deterministic and repeatable. Define your development processes as YAML workflows with planning, implementation, validation, code review, and PR creation. Run them reliably across all your projects. Like what Dockerfiles did for infrastructure and GitHub Actions did for CI/CD, Archon does for AI coding workflows. With 22K+ GitHub stars, this TypeScript-based tool lets teams encode their development process as workflows with validation gates, AI planning nodes, and human approval loops. Features include isolated git worktrees for parallel runs, composable deterministic plus AI nodes, and portable workflow definitions committed to your repos. Run from CLI, Web UI, Slack, Telegram, or GitHub.
