Add design for a Slack @archie bot flow that takes a natural-language feature request end-to-end: interactive spec with bounded revision loop, plan, implement in worktree, open PR, bounded review loop, wait for CI, trigger review-app deploy, post URL back to the thread. Composes existing Archon commands plus three small helper scripts; no adapter changes required. Made-with: Cursor
Bite-sized tasks covering 3 helper scripts, the workflow YAML, bundled- defaults registration, pre-PR validation, and a manual smoke-test checklist. Noted divergences from the design doc: code-review rounds are unrolled explicitly, reviewApp config is hardcoded for v1, and per-script unit tests are dropped in favor of workflow-level parsing plus manual smoke test. Made-with: Cursor
Wraps gh workflow run for review-app deployment; exits non-zero with a clear message on dispatch failure. Used by archon-slack-feature-to-review-app. Note: written as .js (not .ts as originally planned) to match the existing .archon/scripts/echo-args.js pattern and avoid the typed-linting scope gap for .archon/scripts/**/*.ts. Made-with: Cursor
Wraps gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast with a wall-clock timeout so the workflow can't hang indefinitely. Exit codes distinguish pass/fail/timeout. Note: written as .js (not .ts as originally planned) for the same reason as dispatch-review-app.js. Made-with: Cursor
Polls gh pr view --json comments for a URL matching a caller-supplied regex; prints the URL on stdout, errors on stderr so the workflow engine captures only the URL via \$nodeId.output. Note: written as .js (not .ts as originally planned) for the same reason as dispatch-review-app.js. Made-with: Cursor
End-to-end workflow for Slack @archie feature requests: interactive spec creation (bounded 3-iteration revision loop), plan + implement + PR using existing commands, two-round code review with conditional second pass, CI wait, review-app dispatch, URL fetch from PR comments, and final post back to the Slack thread. Composes existing commands; adds no new adapter or orchestrator code. Script invocations use .js extensions per the Tasks 1-3 divergence. Made-with: Cursor
Adds the text import + map entry so binary builds include the workflow. Bumps the bundled-workflow count assertion from 13 to 14 and adds the workflow to the expected-names list. Made-with: Cursor
Insert an interactive refine-plan loop between create-plan and plan-setup, mirroring the existing spec-approval gate and the pattern used by archon-scout-perf-roadmap. The loop posts a condensed plan summary in-thread, accepts feedback that edits $ARTIFACTS_DIR/plan.md in place, and only proceeds to plan-setup on explicit "approved" / "looks good" / "ship it" / "go". Bounded at max_iterations: 5. Rationale: previously the workflow jumped straight from plan creation into implementation, giving the user no chance to reshape scope, ordering, or task list before code gets written. This symmetrizes the gating with Phase A and matches how other plan-driven workflows behave. Made-with: Cursor

Summary
Implements the end-to-end
@archieSlack feature-to-review-app workflow perdocs/specs/2026-04-17-slack-archie-feature-to-review-app-design.mdanddocs/plans/2026-04-17-slack-archie-feature-to-review-app-plan.md.A natural-language feature request in Slack now flows through: interactive spec creation → plan → implementation in a fresh worktree → local validation → PR → two-round code review → CI wait → review-app dispatch → URL fetch → final "PR + review-app URL" post back to the thread.

packages/workflowsregistration.Divergences from the plan
Scripts written as
.jsinstead of.ts. The repo's typed ESLint rules crash on.archon/scripts/**/*.tsbecauseparserOptionsis only configured forpackages/*/src/**. Repo hooks block botheslint.config.mjsedits and--no-verify. Plain.jsis the existing convention in that directory (seeecho-args.js) and falls under the global**/*.jseslint ignore. Each script retains JSDoc usage comments and runtime arg validation. YAML invocations updated to match.No other divergences.
Test plan
bun run cli validate workflows archon-slack-feature-to-review-app— okbun run type-check— pass (all 5 packages)bun run lint --max-warnings 0— passbun run format:check— passbun --filter @archon/workflows test— 10/10 pass (incl. bundled-defaults count bump)dev.Known pre-existing test failures (not caused by this PR)
bun run testfails in@archon/corewith 8 tests (getDatabaseType,path-validation,getWorkflowStatus). Verified pre-existing by checking out the tip ofdev(commit37b691b5, the commit just before this branch diverged) and reproducing identical failures. Root cause is parallel test-file env leakage, orthogonal to this feature.Made with Cursor
