Counted on 2026-10-26 10:14 UTC by the repository’s own weekly metrics run, and not since. Each one measures this repository, not anybody using it.

  1. Why it exists

    It started as a session picker and became a workspace layer, because every problem it fixed turned out to sit one level below the one before it. Browsing sessions needs a project list; a project list is only useful if the next session starts with the right context; context is only affordable if something bounds it. The memory graph is the end of that chain, not the beginning.

  2. Credits & inspiration

    archeus is built on ideas from the wider Claude Code ecosystem. With thanks:

    cognee and Aider’s repo-map
    Graph memory and retrieval budgeting, both reimplemented from scratch in pure stdlib for project memory.
    Anthropic’s claude-code code-review plugin
    The confidence-scoring, high-threshold, CLAUDE.md-compliance review pattern behind archeus review.
    thedotmack/claude-mem
    The session-observation to summary to SessionStart injection pattern behind recent-work memory.
    anthropics/claude-plugins-official
    The Skills extension model and plugin structure.
    diegosouzapw/OmniRoute
    A self-hosted free-tier model proxy; the inspiration for economy model routing and now the backend behind free execution in Plan → Execute.
    olsenbrands/fable-foreman
    The skill plus worker and verifier subagent pattern for delegating execution to cheaper models under a frontier model’s plan.
    VoltAgent/awesome-claude-code-subagents
    The community catalog the agent library mirrors — 150+ agents in 10 categories. All credit for the agents goes to their original authors.
    microsoft/markitdown
    Document-to-markdown token-efficiency thinking; document ingestion is on the roadmap.
    claudemarketplaces.com and Ponytail
    Skill and plugin discovery, and the code-minimization rule behind one of the bundled hooks.

    Bundled starter skills are original write-ups inspired by patterns in community collections, each credited in-file.
