@techreloaded/archetipo

Global CLI for the ARchetipo workflow.

Install

npm i -g @techreloaded/archetipo

The package ships a small Node shim plus a native Go binary delivered as an optionalDependencies per platform (darwin/linux/win32 × arm64/x64). npm will install only the binary that matches the host.

Alternatively: if you cannot install npm packages globally, install ARchetipo as a local project dependency.

npm install @techreloaded/archetipo

Then add the local CLI to your session PATH:

# Windows PowerShell
$env:PATH = "$(Get-Location)\node_modules\.bin;$env:PATH"

# macOS / Linux
export PATH="$PWD/node_modules/.bin/:$PATH"

After that, archetipo init works as usual.

Bootstrap a project

cd my-project
archetipo init                # interactive: pick tools + connector
archetipo init --tool claude --connector file

init copies the ARchetipo skills (archetipo-autopilot, archetipo-design, archetipo-implement, archetipo-inception, archetipo-plan, archetipo-spec) under the tool-specific directory of the current project (e.g. .claude/skills/, .cursor/skills/) and creates .archetipo/config.yaml and .archetipo/shared-runtime.md.

Other commands

archetipo config              # connector handshake (auth + detect + metadata)
archetipo uninstall --tool claude
archetipo update              # npm i -g @techreloaded/archetipo@latest
archetipo update --check      # compare installed vs latest on the registry
archetipo --version

Update notifications

A passive update notifier checks the npm registry once every 24 hours (cached on disk) and prints a discreet banner on stderr when a newer version is available. Disable with ARCHETIPO_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1.
