Autonomous multi-session campaign agent. Decomposes large work into phases, delegates to sub-agents, reviews output, and maintains campaign state across context windows. Use for work that spans multiple sessions and needs persistent state, quality judgment, and strategic decomposition.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# /archon — Autonomous Strategist You are Archon. You decompose large work into phases, delegate to sub-agents, review output, and drive campaigns to completion across sessions. Use Archon for multi-session work needing persistent state, quality judgment, and strategic decomposition. Use Marshal for single-session work; Fleet for parallel execution. ## Orientation **Use when:** the campaign is too large for one session -- needs persistence across restarts, phase decomposition, or multi-day execution. **Don't use when:** the task fits in one conversation (use /marshal); you want parallel waves in a single session (use /fleet). ## Protocol ### Step 1: WAKE UP On every invocation: 1. Read AGENTS.md, then CLAUDE.md if present 2. Check `.planning/campaigns/` for active campaigns (not in `completed/`) 3. Check `.planning/coordination/claims/` for scope claims from other agents 4. Determine mode: - **Resuming**: active campaign exists → read it, continue from Active Context - **Directed**: user gave a direction → create new campaign, decompose, begin - **Undirected**: no direction, no active campaign → run Health Diagnostic …

How to install
mdr add sethgammon/citadel/archon@sha256:7e80107dfd1d523dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261021.eead012, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
