# ArcheFlow

Multi-agent orchestration using archetypal roles and PDCA quality cycles.

## Archetypes

| Archetype | Virtue | Shadow | Phase |
|-----------|--------|--------|-------|
| **Explorer** | Contextual Clarity | Rabbit Hole | Plan |
| **Creator** | Decisive Framing | Perfectionist | Plan |
| **Maker** | Execution Discipline | Cowboy | Do |
| **Guardian** | Threat Intuition | Paranoid | Check |
| **Skeptic** | Assumption Surfacing | Paralytic | Check |
| **Trickster** | Adversarial Creativity | Saboteur | Check |
| **Sage** | Maintainability Judgment | Bureaucrat | Check |

## PDCA Cycle

```
Plan  → Explorer researches, Creator proposes
Do    → Maker implements in isolated worktree
Check → Reviewers assess in parallel (approve/reject)
Act   → All approved? Merge. Issues? Cycle back to Plan.
```

## Workflows

| Workflow | Archetypes | Cycles |
|----------|-----------|:------:|
| `fast` | Creator → Maker → Guardian | 1 |
| `standard` | Explorer + Creator → Maker → Guardian + Skeptic + Sage | 2 |
| `thorough` | Explorer + Creator → Maker → All 4 reviewers | 3 |

## When to Use

**Use** for features spanning multiple files, security-sensitive changes, or when multiple perspectives help.
**Skip** for single-file fixes, formatting, or purely informational tasks.
