Archon
Open-source, self-hosted workflow engine that runs Claude Code, Codex and Pi through YAML workflows with loops, approval gates and isolated git worktrees, taking an issue to a reviewed pull request.
About Archon
Asking a coding agent to fix something gives different results each run: it may skip the plan, forget the tests or ignore the PR template, so developers end up supervising every step.
Who it’s for
- Developers who want a repeatable plan-implement-review-PR process around the coding agents they already pay for
- Teams that want approval gates, run logs and cost tracking stored in their own database
When to consider it
Consider Archon when you want to write your development process as YAML workflows that agents follow every time, dispatched from the terminal, chat or GitHub and run in parallel worktrees.
Tradeoffs & limitations
- Archon is not a coding agent itself; it needs your own Claude Code, Codex or Pi accounts and subscriptions.
- It is self-hosted (SQLite by default, PostgreSQL optional), so you install and run it on your own machine or server.
