About Arkos
About Arkos
Section titled “About Arkos”Arkos is an open-source ecosystem of dev tools built to handle everything around code that isn’t code itself — testing, documentation, memory, orchestration, and project management.
The Problem
Section titled “The Problem”AI coding agents are remarkably good at writing code. But shipping software requires much more: test cases need to be generated, documentation needs to be written for multiple audiences, project conventions need to be enforced, codebase knowledge needs to persist across sessions, and multi-agent workflows need orchestration.
These “everything else” activities make up roughly 80% of what it takes to ship software. Most teams do them manually or skip them entirely.
The Approach
Section titled “The Approach”Rather than building one monolithic platform, Arkos takes a skill-per-problem approach:
- Each tool is focused, standalone, and independently useful
- Tools compose through Conductor’s pipeline orchestration
- Memories provides the shared state layer across all tools
- The ecosystem is agent-agnostic — works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and others
Philosophy
Section titled “Philosophy”- Specialized > general — a focused tool beats a Swiss army knife
- Compose > integrate — tools wire together through orchestration, not tight coupling
- Memory > context — persistent knowledge beats session-scoped context
- Convention > configuration — Apollo’s conventions reduce decision fatigue
Contributing
Section titled “Contributing”Arkos is open source. Each tool lives in its own repository.
To contribute:
- Find a tool that interests you
- Read its README and architecture docs
- Open an issue to discuss your idea
- Submit a PR
Built By
Section titled “Built By”Arkos is built by Divyekant — a developer tools enthusiast focused on the intersection of AI and software development workflows.
