Archon: orchestrating Claude Terminals so you can focus on your ideas

I’ve been building Archon, a small open‑source “AI manager” that coordinates 4 parallel Claude Code terminals to autonomously build software. Instead of jumping between terminals, copying context and gluing everything together by hand, you give Archon a single task and it handles planning, delegation and coordination for you.

Think of the flow like this:
You (CEO) → Archon (Manager) → 4 Terminals (Engineers) → Working Software. You can say something like “Create an iOS speed test app with SwiftUI” and Archon breaks it into workstreams (UI, features, docs, strategy), runs them in parallel, and iterates until you have a working app.

Under the hood it has specialized sub‑agents for SwiftUI, backend, data, docs, product, etc., plus a real‑time dashboard at localhost:8420 so you can watch everything happening live. It’s meant for devs and indie hackers who already use Claude Code and want a more structured, multi‑agent workflow for creating apps and experimenting with AI‑driven development.

If you want to try it out or hack on it:

Stars, issues, and PRs are super welcome – especially ideas for new terminal setups (e.g. data science, backend‑only, research tooling) or better prompts/configs.
