- Mini-Reflect for fast workflow: Creator must restate task, list assumptions, name highest-damage risk before proposing (catches misunderstandings early) - Alternatives Considered section: Creator must evaluate 2+ approaches with rejection rationale before committing to one (prevents tunnel vision) - Structured confidence scoring: 3-axis table (task understanding, solution completeness, risk coverage) replaces bare 0.0-1.0 number. Low scores trigger targeted action (clarify, upgrade workflow, or research) - Mini-Reflect fallback for skipped tasks: quick reflection even when ArcheFlow doesn't activate (non-trivial single-file changes)

# ArcheFlow — Active
|
|
|
|
Multi-agent orchestration using archetypal roles and PDCA quality cycles.
|
|
|
|
## IMPORTANT: When to Activate
|
|
|
|
You MUST use ArcheFlow orchestration (load `archeflow:orchestration` skill and follow its steps) for any task that matches:
|
|
|
|
- **New features** — any feature touching 2+ files
|
|
- **Refactoring** — structural changes across modules
|
|
- **Security-sensitive changes** — auth, encryption, input handling, API keys
|
|
- **Bug fixes with unclear root cause** — use Explorer to investigate first
|
|
- **Code review requests** — spawn Guardian + relevant reviewers
|
|
- **Multi-file changes** — anything beyond a single-file edit
|
|
|
|
Choose the workflow based on risk:
|
|
|
|
| Signal | Workflow | Command |
|
|
|--------|----------|---------|
|
|
| Small fix, low risk, single concern | `fast` | Creator → Maker → Guardian |
|
|
| Feature, multiple files, moderate risk | `standard` | Explorer + Creator → Maker → Guardian + Skeptic + Sage |
|
|
| Security-sensitive, breaking changes, public API | `thorough` | Explorer + Creator → Maker → All 4 reviewers |
|
|
|
|
## When to Skip ArcheFlow
|
|
|
|
Do NOT use ArcheFlow for these — just do them directly:
|
|
|
|
- Single-line fixes, typos, formatting
|
|
- Answering questions (no code changes)
|
|
- Reading/exploring code without making changes
|
|
- Config changes to a single file
|
|
- Git operations (commit, push, branch)
|
|
|
|
**Mini-Reflect fallback:** Even when skipping ArcheFlow, apply a quick reflection for non-trivial single-file changes: (1) restate what you're changing, (2) name one assumption, (3) check if it could break anything. This takes ~10 seconds and catches misunderstandings before they become commits.

## Archetypes
|
|
|
|
| Archetype | Avatar | Virtue | Shadow | Phase |
|
|
|-----------|--------|--------|--------|-------|
|
|
| **Explorer** | 🔍 | Contextual Clarity | Rabbit Hole | Plan |
|
|
| **Creator** | 🏗️ | Decisive Framing | Over-Architect | Plan |
|
|
| **Maker** | ⚒️ | Execution Discipline | Rogue | Do |
|
|
| **Guardian** | 🛡️ | Threat Intuition | Paranoid | Check |
|
|
| **Skeptic** | 🤔 | Assumption Surfacing | Paralytic | Check |
|
|
| **Trickster** | 🃏 | Adversarial Creativity | False Alarm | 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.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
When the user gives an implementation task:
|
|
|
|
1. Assess: does this need ArcheFlow? (see criteria above)
|
|
2. If yes: load `archeflow:orchestration` skill
|
|
3. Pick workflow (fast/standard/thorough)
|
|
4. Execute the PDCA steps from the orchestration skill
|
