What is ArcKit?
64 AI-assisted commands that generate complete governance documents — from stakeholder analysis and risk registers to design reviews and traceability matrices. Each command produces template-driven, audit-ready artifacts aligned to UK Government standards.
Systematic
Follow GDS Agile Delivery phases with a structured command workflow. Every artifact is version-controlled, traceable, and linked to business drivers.
Compliant
Built-in compliance with the Technology Code of Practice, Secure by Design, GDS Service Standard, and UK Government procurement frameworks.
AI-Assisted
Works with Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, OpenCode CLI, and GitHub Copilot. AI generates first drafts from templates; architects review and refine.
How it works
ArcKit follows the UK Government's GDS Agile Delivery framework, with commands mapped to each phase:
Planning
Planning
Define architecture principles and create your project structure.
Discovery
Identify stakeholders, assess risks, and build the strategic outline business case.
Alpha
Gather requirements, model data, research technology options, and map strategy.
Beta
Procure services, evaluate vendors, review designs, and generate the delivery backlog.
Live
Verify traceability, ensure operational readiness, and tell the project story.
