# Citadel — Agent Orchestration Harness for Claude Code

> Skill by [ara.so](https://ara.so) — Daily 2026 Skills collection.

Citadel is a Claude Code **plugin** that routes any coding task through the cheapest capable tool — from a direct one-line fix to a multi-day parallel agent campaign. It provides 25 skills, 4 autonomous sub-agents, 10 lifecycle hooks, and campaign persistence across sessions.

## Installation

**Prerequisites:** [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) + Node.js 18+

```bash
# 1. Clone Citadel once (global install — works across all projects)
git clone https://github.com/SethGammon/Citadel.git ~/citadel

# 2. Launch Claude Code with the plugin loaded
claude --plugin-dir ~/citadel

# 3. Run first-time setup inside any project
/do setup

Persistent install (recommended):

/plugin marketplace add ~/citadel
/plugin install citadel@citadel-local
/reload-plugins

After install, /do is available in every Claude Code session.

Core Concept: The /do Router

Type what you want in plain English. /do classifies intent and dispatches to the cheapest capable path automatically.

/do fix the typo on line 42          → Direct edit (zero overhead)
/do review the auth module           → /review (5-pass code review)
/do why is the API returning 500     → /systematic-debugging
/do add payments to my app           → /create-app tier 5
/do build me a recipe app            → /prd → /architect → /archon
/do overhaul all three services      → /fleet (parallel agents)
/do continue                         → resumes active campaign

You never have to choose the tier. If routing is wrong, say "wrong tool" or "just do it yourself" and it adjusts.

App Creation

/prd "a recipe sharing app with user accounts and ratings"
# → Generates a full Product Requirements Document

/architect
# → Converts active PRD into file tree, build phases, end conditions

/create-app
# → End-to-end creation (5 tiers: blank → guided → templated → generated → feature addition)
