Drive Archon through its CLI: run AI workflows on a repo, watch and answer the runs that need a decision, drive the SDLC pack's queues (intake, build queue, merge queue, discoveries), set up Archon or change its config, and author and validate workflows. Use when the user says "use archon", "run archon", "archon workflow", "fix issue \#N with archon", "have archon review this PR", "what's running / check run \<id\>", "approve/reject/answer/cancel/resume that run", "run the build queue", "drain discoveries", "set up archon", "configure archon", "change my archon config", "create a workflow", "author a workflow", or asks how to write a better Archon prompt. NOT for: doing the coding work yourself. Archon delegates it to isolated runs.

## From README

Archon CLI Archon runs multi-step AI workflows through the archon CLI. Git projects run in isolated worktrees by default; registered folder projects run in place. You sit on top of the runs: you write the brief, launch, watch one stream, answer the decisions that reach you, and read what each run left behind. Route by intent: | The user wants to... | Read | |---|---| | Run a workflow on real work | operate/running.md | | Inspect, answer, cancel or resume runs | operate/managing-runs.md | | Drive the SDLC pack's queues | operate/queues.md | | Find out why a run failed or hangs | operate/troubleshooting.md | | Set up Archon or change config | / -and-config.md | | Author or change a workflow | authoring/authoring-workflows.md (then node-reference.md and variables.md in the same folder) | | Improve a node prompt or a run message | authoring/prompting-mistakes.md | When the intent is clear ("build me a workflow for X", "run archon-ship on issue 42"), go straight to the reference.
