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.

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.

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
  • 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

Arkos is open source. Each tool lives in its own repository.
