What Adopt, Sync, and Reviewer actually print.
Sample sessions. Adopt and the deeper review need Pro. Sync only adds pointers inside the agent files you already keep.
01
Adopt
Point it at a Next.js and TypeScript repo you already have. It records the conventions it finds and writes a baseline under .archseed/. Source files stay untouched.
$ archseed adopt Next.js + TypeScript Clerk auth · Drizzle Wrote .archseed/baseline.yml Source files unchanged.02
Sync
Copies pointers from .archseed/ into CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .cursor/rules/archseed.mdc when Cursor is in the repo. Text outside the Archseed markers stays.
$ archseed sync --dry-run Would update CLAUDE.md AGENTS.md .cursor/rules/archseed.mdc Text outside Archseed markers stays.03
Reviewer
Reads the contract package, not your source. It writes .archseed/review-report.md so you can see scope, non-goals, and open questions before the agent builds.
$ archseed review --pro Wrote .archseed/review-report.md Scope matches the contract. Non-goal “billing” is absent from the plan. Open: who can archive a client.

Archseed runs locally via the CLI. The markdown stays in your repository.
Free is for exploring and small scope
Try the CLI, run a Simple Project for an MVP or CRUD app, and see if the guided flow fits your workflow. No commitment.
Pro is for work you can't afford to redo
Client projects, agent-heavy workflows, or anything where project decisions matter before implementation starts.
FAQ
Common questions before you start.
Do I need to use the web app?
No. ArchSeed is CLI-first. You run sessions from the terminal and get markdown files locally. The web app is for account management and billing—not required to use the product.
Is this a coding assistant?
No. ArchSeed is the architecture and review layer around your coding workflow. Coding assistants help during implementation. They're complementary—ArchSeed comes first.
Can I use it with any coding agent?
Yes. The output is an implementation-ready context package under .archseed/ (start with agent-context.md) that works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, or your own workflow. No vendor lock-in.
Is the product CLI-first?
Yes. Install the CLI, run `archseed init`, answer questions in your terminal, and get files you can commit or hand off. IDE integrations may come later.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Pro is a monthly subscription with no long-term contract. Cancel from your account settings and keep access until the end of your billing period.
Will there be a VS Code extension later?
Planned, but not available yet. The CLI and markdown artifacts are the core experience today. A VS Code extension would surface artifacts and reviews inside the editor.
Do you support teams yet?
Not yet. Teams and shared project workspaces are on the roadmap. For now, ArchSeed is built for individual developers.
Start with a plan, not a prompt.
Install the CLI and run your first Simple Project free. Upgrade to Pro when your projects need more structure.
