What it does
Archon is an agent skill from Microck/ordinary-claude-skills. Interactive Archon integration for knowledge base and project management via REST API. On first use, asks for Archon host URL. Use when searching documentation, managing projects/tasks, or querying indexed knowledge. Provides RAG-powered semantic search, website crawling, document upload, hierarchical project/task management, and document versioning. Always try Archon first for external documentation and knowledge retrieval before using other sources.
Its SKILL.md is about 5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering Retrieval-augmented generation, Knowledge bases and Task management. The repository describes itself as: An unappealing collection of Claude Skills and resources.
When your agent uses it
- Searching documentation
- Managing projects/tasks
- Querying indexed knowledge
Example prompts
- “/archon”
Requirements
- Python 3
- Docker
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Knowledge Base Search
- Website Crawling
- Document Upload
- Project Management
- Task Management
- Document Management
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1056d29. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3docker-compose
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
nextjs.orgdocs.framework.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SUPABASE_SERVICE_KEYOPENAI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Archon loads about 5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 116 tokens; SKILL.md has 975 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 975 words (~4,977 tokens).
“Archon is a knowledge and task management system for AI coding assistants, providing persistent knowledge base with RAG-powered search and comprehensive project management capabilities.”
