From the README
Build better enterprise architecture through structured governance, vendor procurement, and design review workflows.
Claude Code (premier experience) — install the ArcKit plugin (requires v2.1.112+):
Then install from the Discover tab. Claude Code is the primary development platform for ArcKit and provides the most complete experience: all 68 commands, 10 autonomous research agents, 5 automation hooks (session init, project context injection, filename enforcement, output validation, impact scan), bundled MCP servers (AWS Knowledge, Microsoft Learn, Google Developer Knowledge, govreposcrape), and automatic updates via the marketplace. See Why Claude Code? below.
Why v2.1.112? This version unlocks the
xhigheffort tier on Claude Opus 4.7 (used by ArcKit's deep-research agents and synthesis commands), enables Auto mode without--enable-auto-mode, restores Opus 4.7 availability for Auto mode, and ships read-only bash glob patterns without permission prompts (reduces friction for ArcKit helper scripts). It also carries forward the v2.1.97 fixes:claude plugin updatecorrectly detects new commits for git-based plugins (critical for ArcKit distribution), MCP HTTP/SSE memory leak fix (~50 MB/hr, affects ArcKit's 5 bundled servers), proper 429 exponential backoff (benefits 10 research agents), Stop/SubagentStop hooks no longer fail on long sessions (affects session-learner), and subagent working directory leak fix.
