Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit.

# Maintainer StandupDaily morning briefing for Archon maintainers. Pulls latest `dev`, fetches all open PRs and assigned issues, classifies them **P1–P4** against `direction.md`, and surfaces progress versus the previous run (merged, closed, what you shipped).## Files in this folder| File | Committed? | Purpose ||------|:---:|---------|| `direction.md` | ✓ | Project north-star — what Archon IS / IS NOT. **Shared by all maintainers.** Drives PR triage and polite-decline classification. || `README.md` | ✓ | This file. || `profile.md.example` | ✓ | Template for new maintainers to copy. || `profile.md` | gitignored | Your personal config (gh handle, role, focus areas). || `state.json` | gitignored | Auto-written carry-over for the next run. || `briefs/YYYY-MM-DD.md` | gitignored | Daily prose briefs. Last 3 are read into the next run. |`direction.md` is committed because triage decisions should be consistent across maintainers and across runs. `profile.md`, `state.json`, and `briefs/` are personal — your focus, your daily notes, your reading material — so each maintainer manages their own.## Setup for a new maintainer1. Copy the template:   ```bash   cp .archon/maintainer-standup/profile.md.example .archon/maintainer-standup/profile.md   ```2. Edit `profile.md`:   - Set `gh_handle` to your GitHub login.   - Set `role` and `scope` to match your maintainer focus (`main_maintainer` / `everything` for full coverage; narrower for sub-maintainers).   - Optionally fill in **Currently focused on** — the synthesizer weights items toward what you list there.3. Run it:   ```bash   archon workflow run maintainer-standup ""   ```4. The first run is a baseline (no prior state to diff). Subsequent runs compare against `state.json` and surface "Resolved since last run" / "What you shipped" / aged carry-over items.## How it works (engine view)1. **Three gather scripts** run in parallel (`bun`, no AI):   - `maintainer-standup-git-status.ts` — fetches `origin/dev`, fast-forwards if safe,

Built from this server's own package name, version and transport as found in its source — not copied from anyone's documentation, so it cannot drift against a page we do not control. Replace the environment placeholders with a token scoped to the least it needs.

Questions

What is the Archon MCP server?

The first open-source harness builder for AI coding. Make AI coding deterministic and repeatable.

What tools does Archon expose?

69 in total: 64 read-only, 5 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Archon safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it F (32/100) and found 12 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does Archon need?

It reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_OAUTH_TOKEN, ARCHON_CODEX_MCP_TOKEN, ARCHON_CODEX_MISSING_TOKEN, ARCHON_GIT_PASSWORD, ARCHON_PI_AUTH_PATH, ARCHON_WEB_AUTH_HEADER, AUTH_PASSWORD_HASH, AUTH_PORT, AUTH_USERNAME, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_BEARER_TOKEN_BEDROCK from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (e047dfb1b6fe), read on 2026-09-16. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
