Execute: Implement an Archon Plan
Objective
Read and execute every task in the plan file: $ARGUMENTS
Implement all tasks faithfully, following Archon monorepo conventions, and report results.
Step 1: Read the Entire Plan
Read the plan file at $ARGUMENTS from start to finish before writing a single line of code. Understand:
- All tasks and their dependencies
- Affected packages and files
- Architecture notes and prohibited patterns
- The validation steps at the end
Do NOT start implementing until you have the full picture.
Step 2: Verify Current State
Check the working tree is clean before starting:
git statusIf there are uncommitted changes unrelated to this plan, flag them before proceeding.
Check the current branch:
git branch --show-currentStep 3: Execute Tasks in Dependency Order
Work through each task in the plan sequentially (respecting Depends on: ordering).
For each task:
- Read the target file(s) before modifying — never edit blindly.
- Implement the change using the Edit or Write tools.
- Verify the change compiles after touching TypeScript files:bashFix type errors immediately — do not accumulate them.

Archon conventions to follow:
Imports:
// Type-only imports
import type { IPlatformAdapter, Conversation } from '@archon/core';
// Value imports — named, not namespace
import { handleMessage, pool } from '@archon/core';
// Submodule namespace imports (acceptable)
import * as git from '@archon/git';Functions:
// All functions need explicit return types
async function createSession(id: string): Promise<Session> { ... }
// No implicit anyLogging:
import { createLogger } from '@archon/paths';
// Lazy logger pattern (test mocks work correctly)
let cachedLog: ReturnType<typeof createLogger> | undefined;
function getLog(): ReturnType<typeof createLogger> {
if (!cachedLog) cachedLog = createLogger('my-module');
return cachedLog;
}
// Event naming: {domain}.{action}_{state}
log.info({ id }, 'session.create_started');Error handling:
// Never swallow errors silently
try {
await riskyOperation();
} catch (error) {
const err = error as Error;
log.error({ err, context }, 'operation.failed');
throw err; // re-throw or classify for user
}Git operations:
- Always use
execFileAsync(notexec) when calling git directly - Never run
git clean -fd— usegit checkout .instead - Use branded types:
toRepoPath(),toBranchName(),toWorktreePath()
Package boundaries:
@archon/workflowsmust NOT import from@archon/core@archon/gitmust NOT import from@archon/coreor@archon/workflows@archon/pathshas zero@archon/*dependencies
Testing (if adding tests):
- Check which test batch the new file belongs to in the package's
package.json mock.module()is permanent in Bun — place new test files to avoid polluting other files- Use
spyOn()for modules other test files also use directly (notmock.module())
Step 4: Run Incremental Validation
After completing all tasks in a package, run validation for that package:
# Type checking across all packages
bun run type-check
# Lint (zero warnings policy)
bun run lint
# Format check
bun run format:check
# Tests (per-package isolation — do NOT run from repo root directly)
bun run testFix any failures before proceeding to the next package group.
Step 5: Run Full Validation
After all tasks are complete, run the full validation suite:
bun run validateThis runs: type-check && lint --max-warnings 0 && format:check && test
All four must pass. If any fail, fix them before reporting completion.
Step 6: Output Report
Provide a structured completion report:
## Execution Report: {Plan Name}
### Tasks Completed
- [x] Task 1: {description} — {files changed}
- [x] Task 2: {description} — {files changed}
...
### Files Created
- `packages/{pkg}/src/{file}.ts` — {purpose}
### Files Modified
- `packages/{pkg}/src/{file}.ts` — {what changed}
### Validation Results
- type-check: PASS / FAIL
- lint: PASS / FAIL (N warnings)
- format:check: PASS / FAIL
- tests: PASS / FAIL (N passed, N failed)
- Full `bun run validate`: PASS / FAIL
### Manual Verification
{Any curl commands or UI steps to manually verify the feature works.}
### Notes
{Any deviations from the plan, unexpected findings, or follow-up work needed.}
