Plugin Overview

Plugin

The Archcore plugin puts your repository’s architecture, rules, and past decisions into your coding agent before it edits a file. It runs on top of the Archcore CLI and reads the same .archcore/ directory.

What you get

Section titled “What you get”
  • Four slash commands: /archcore:init, /archcore:plan, /archcore:document, and /archcore:review. Each command does one thing and states its outcome first.
  • Two built-in agents: a read/write assistant and a read-only auditor.
  • Automatic context: the plugin adds the relevant rules and ADRs to the conversation before the agent edits a source file.
  • Guardrails: writes to .archcore/ go through MCP only, the CLI validates every mutation, and a cascade check flags dependents that may be stale.

When to use the plugin

Section titled “When to use the plugin”
  • You work in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, or GitHub Copilot CLI.
  • You want the plugin to work out which documents a request needs, instead of explaining document types to the agent.
  • You want context injection and validation to run without being asked.

If you use a different agent, or you want a minimal scriptable install, start with the CLI instead.
