Visual identity

The archeus mark — the gold A pierced by its orbit — and the banner lockup were designed by Federico Coscia. Both are kept as artwork: the dark tile at docs/assets/logo.png, the banner at docs/assets/wordmark.png. Everything else in this repository is one of the two re-drawn or re-cut: the application and OS icons (tools/make_icon.py), the OG card (tools/make_og_card.py), and the inline SVG glyph in the desktop sidebar.

Built on

archeus is built on ideas from the wider Claude Code ecosystem. With thanks:

  • microsoft/markitdown — document→markdown token-efficiency thinking (doc ingestion is on the roadmap).
  • anthropics/claude-code code-review plugin — the confidence-scoring + high-threshold + CLAUDE.md-compliance review pattern behind archeus review.
  • thedotmack/claude-mem — the session-observation → summary → SessionStart injection pattern behind Recent-work memory.
  • anthropics/claude-plugins-official — the Skills (SKILL.md) extension model and plugin structure.
  • diegosouzapw/OmniRoute (MIT) — self-hosted free-tier model proxy; originally the inspiration for Economy model routing, now also the backend behind Settings → Free execution, which routes the execute half of Plan → Execute to OmniRoute's free tier while planning stays on your real Anthropic account.
  • olsenbrands/fable-foreman (MIT, Jordan Olsen) — the Claude Code skill + worker/verifier subagent pattern for delegating execution to cheaper models under a frontier model's plan. Installable from ⚙ Skills → Install from GitHub.
  • claudemarketplaces.com — skill/plugin discovery; the caveman token-compression skill inspired the bundled token-economy starter.
  • VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents — the community catalog archeus's agent library mirrors — 150+ agents in 10 categories. All credit for the agents goes to their original authors.
  • topoteretes/cognee and Aider's repo-map — graph memory and retrieval budgeting, both reimplemented from scratch in pure stdlib for project memory.
  • Ponytail — the code-minimization rule behind one of the bundled hooks.
  • furkankly/zoetrope (MIT, Furkan Kalaycioglu) — watching a coding-agent session as a live flow graph, with content time kept separate from presentation time, behind the session flow graph. Behaviour only: no Rust was copied and no crate is vendored.

Bundled starter skills under claude_sessions/skills_templates/ are original write-ups inspired by patterns in these community collections, each credited in-file: alirezarezvani/claude-skills, ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills, obra/superpowers, khalilbenaz/claude-skills-collection. They follow Conventional Commits and Keep a Changelog where relevant.
