42
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the

+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
86
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
87
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
88
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
89
+
90
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the

+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
92
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
93
+ meet the following conditions:

+
101
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
102
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
103
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
104
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
105
+ the Derivative Works; and
106
+
107
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
108
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
109
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained

+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
111
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
112
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
113
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
114
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
115
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
116
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
117
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
118
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
119
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
120
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
121
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
122
+ as modifying the License.
123
+
124
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
125
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
126
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
127
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
128
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
129
+ the conditions stated in this License.
130
+
131
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
132
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
133
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
134
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
135
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
136
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
137
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
138
+
139
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
140
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
141
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
142
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
143
+
144
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
145
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
146
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
147
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
148
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
149
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
150
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
151
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
152
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
153
+
154
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
155
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
156
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
157
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
158
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
159
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
160
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
161
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
162
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
163
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
164
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
165
+
166
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
167
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
168
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
169
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
170
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
171
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
172
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
173
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
174
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
175
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

2
2
 
3
- This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
3
+ Architecture tests for TypeScript and JavaScript. Archer builds a resolved
4
+ module graph, lets you describe boundaries with a fluent API, and reports a
5
+ normal test failure when the code stops matching the design.
6
+
7
+ It takes its readable rule style from [Pest architecture testing](https://pestphp.com/docs/arch-testing),
8
+ but models files, packages, imports, exports, and TypeScript declarations.
9
+
10
+ ## Install
11
+
12
+ ```sh
13
+ npm install --save-dev @lucasacoutinho/archer
14
+ ```
15
+
16
+ Archer supports Node.js 20 and newer. It parses sources with its own bundled
17
+ TypeScript, so the project's TypeScript version does not matter. The core
18
+ package has no test-runner dependency.
19
+
20
+ ## Start with the CLI
21
+
22
+ Create `archer.config.ts`:
23
+
24
+ ```ts
25
+ import { defineConfig } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer'
26
+
27
+ export default defineConfig({
28
+ include: ['src/**/*.ts', 'packages/*/src/**/*.ts'],
29
+ exclude: ['**/*.generated.ts'],
30
+
31
+ rules(archer) {
32
+ archer
33
+ .expect('src/domain/**')
34
+ .not.toDependOn('src/infrastructure/**')
35
+ .because('The domain must remain portable.')
36
+ .as('boundaries/domain-isolation')
37
+
38
+ archer.expect('src/**').toBeFreeOfCycles()
39
+ },
40
+ })
41
+ ```
42
+
43
+ Then run:
44
+
45
+ ```sh
46
+ npx archer check
47
+ npx archer check --watch
48
+ ```
49
+
50
+ `archer init` creates a starter config. Config paths, output paths, and the
51
+ project root are resolved relative to the config file.
52
+
53
+ ## Test-runner adapters
54
+
55
+ Each adapter registers a test immediately and returns the same rule builder.
56
+
57
+ ```ts
58
+ // test/architecture.test.ts
59
+ import { arch } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer/vitest'
60
+
61
+ arch('the domain stays independent')
62
+ .expect('src/domain/**')
63
+ .not.toDependOn('src/infrastructure/**')
64
+ .and.toOnlyDependOn(['src/domain/**', 'src/shared/**'])
65
+ ```
66
+
67
+ The other entry points are:
68
+
69
+ ```ts
70
+ import { arch } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer/jest'
71
+ import { arch } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer/bun'
72
+ import { arch } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer/node'
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ Jest and Bun accept `timeout` as an Archer adapter option. The Node adapter
76
+ accepts built-in `node:test` options under `test`.
77
+
78
+ ## Vitest config plugin
79
+
80
+ Vitest can run Archer once, before it starts collecting tests. The plugin loads
81
+ `archer.config.*` from the Vitest project root by default:
82
+
83
+ ```ts
84
+ // vitest.config.ts
85
+ import { archer } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer/vitest'
86
+ import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
87
+
88
+ export default defineConfig({
89
+ plugins: [archer()],
90
+ })
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ Pass `config`, `reporter`, `baseline`, `output`, or `failOnWarnings` to
94
+ `archer()` when the defaults are not enough. This is a configuration plugin,
95
+ so it performs one architecture check for the Vitest project instead of
96
+ registering a test in every worker.
97
+
98
+ ## Matcher setup modules
99
+
100
+ Vitest, Jest, and Bun can also install Archer as an `expect` plugin. This keeps
101
+ the runner integration in its normal setup hook and lets architecture tests use
102
+ the same assertion in every runner.
103
+
104
+ For Vitest, add the plugin to `setupFiles`:
105
+
106
+ ```ts
107
+ // vitest.config.ts
108
+ import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config'
109
+
110
+ export default defineConfig({
111
+ test: {
112
+ setupFiles: ['@lucasacoutinho/archer/vitest/plugin'],
113
+ },
114
+ })
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ For Jest, add it to `setupFilesAfterEnv`:
118
+
119
+ ```ts
120
+ // jest.config.ts
121
+ export default {
122
+ setupFilesAfterEnv: ['@lucasacoutinho/archer/jest/plugin'],
123
+ }
124
+ ```
125
+
126
+ For Bun, preload it from `bunfig.toml`:
127
+
128
+ ```toml
129
+ [test]
130
+ preload = ["@lucasacoutinho/archer/bun/plugin"]
131
+ ```
132
+
133
+ Then create a normal test and await the asynchronous matcher:
134
+
135
+ ```ts
136
+ import { createArcher } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer'
137
+
138
+ test('the architecture is respected', async () => {
139
+ const archer = createArcher()
140
+ archer.expect('src/domain/**').not.toDependOn('src/infrastructure/**')
141
+
142
+ await expect(archer).toRespectArchitecture()
143
+ })
144
+ ```
145
+
146
+ The plugin installs the matcher; it does not silently inject a test into every
147
+ worker. Use the `arch()` adapter when the fluent one-call form is preferable.
148
+
149
+ ## Dependency rules
150
+
151
+ ```ts
152
+ archer
153
+ .expect('src/application/**')
154
+ .toDependOn('src/domain/**')
155
+ .not.toDependOn('src/web/**')
156
+ .toOnlyDependOn(['src/application/**', 'src/domain/**', 'npm:zod'])
157
+ .toBeDependedOnBy('src/http/**')
158
+ .toOnlyBeDependedOnBy(['src/http/**', 'src/jobs/**'])
159
+ ```
160
+
161
+ Aliases are available for Pest-style wording: `toUse`, `toOnlyUse`,
162
+ `toBeUsedIn`, `toOnlyBeUsedIn`, `toUseNothing`, and `toBeUsed`.
163
+
164
+ Modifiers apply to the next dependency rule and then reset:
165
+
166
+ ```ts
167
+ archer
168
+ .expect('src/application/**')
169
+ .typeDependencies()
170
+ .toOnlyDependOn('src/contracts/**')
171
+ .runtimeDependencies()
172
+ .not.toDependOn('src/testing/**')
173
+ .dynamicDependencies()
174
+ .not.toDependOn('src/admin/**')
175
+ .localDependencies()
176
+ .toOnlyDependOn(['src/application/**', 'src/domain/**'])
177
+ .toTransitivelyDependOn('src/domain/events.ts')
178
+ ```
179
+
180
+ Use `includingDependencyKinds('static', 'require')` for an exact combination,
181
+ or `.transitively().toDependOn(...)` for explicit reachability. Transitive
182
+ violations include the shortest discovered import chain.
183
+
184
+ ### Selectors and resolution
185
+
186
+ | Selector | Meaning |
187
+ | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
188
+ | `src/domain/**` | Files resolved inside the configured root |
189
+ | `npm:react` | An installed package and its subpaths |
190
+ | `node:fs` | A Node built-in |
191
+ | `bun:test` | A Bun built-in |
192
+ | `unresolved:*` | Imports TypeScript could not resolve |
193
+ | `dynamic:*` | Computed dynamic imports without a static target |
194
+
195
+ Archer resolves path aliases, package exports, project references, workspace
196
+ packages, symlinks, `.js` imports of TypeScript sources, re-exports,
197
+ `import type`, import types, CommonJS `require`, and lazy imports.
198
+
199
+ Literal lazy imports such as `import('./admin.js')` are normal resolved edges.
200
+ A computed import such as `import(moduleName)` becomes `dynamic:unknown`.
201
+ Negative boundary rules fail closed on that edge because the target cannot be
202
+ proven safe; an allow-list can explicitly include `dynamic:*`.
203
+
204
+ ## Named layers and public APIs
205
+
206
+ ```ts
207
+ const layers = archer.layers({
208
+ domain: 'src/domain/**',
209
+ application: 'src/application/**',
210
+ infrastructure: 'src/infrastructure/**',
211
+ })
212
+
213
+ layers.where('domain').mayNotDependOn('infrastructure')
214
+ layers.where('application').mayOnlyDependOn('domain')
215
+ layers.where('domain').mayOnlyBeUsedBy('application')
216
+ layers.where('domain').exposeThrough('src/domain/index.ts')
217
+ layers.toBeFreeOfCycles()
218
+ ```
219
+
220
+ Layer rules only constrain local project dependencies. External packages do
221
+ not need to be repeated in every layer allow-list. `exposeThrough` rejects
222
+ deep imports into a layer from outside it.
223
+
224
+ For directory-level cycles, collapse file nodes to a fixed depth:
225
+
226
+ ```ts
227
+ archer.expect('src/**').toBeFreeOfFolderCycles(2)
228
+ ```
229
+
230
+ ## TypeScript-aware rules
231
+
232
+ Archer uses the configured TypeScript programs for declarations, resolved
233
+ heritage, exports, decorators, method visibility, and global-call detection.
234
+
235
+ ```ts
236
+ archer
237
+ .expect('src/controllers/**')
238
+ .toBeClasses()
239
+ .toExtend('BaseController')
240
+ .toImplement('Runnable')
241
+ .toHaveDecorator('Controller')
242
+ .toHaveReadonlyProperties()
243
+ .toHaveMethods('execute')
244
+ .toHavePublicMethods('execute')
245
+ .toHaveProtectedMethods('reset')
246
+ .toOnlyHavePublicMethods()
247
+ .toBeExported()
248
+
249
+ archer.expect('src/contracts/**').toBeInterfaces()
250
+ archer.expect('src/base-controller.ts').toBeAbstract()
251
+ archer.expect('src/status.ts').toBeEnums()
252
+ archer.expect('src/factories/**').toBeFunctions()
253
+ archer.expect('src/models/**').toBeTypes()
254
+ archer.expect('src/index.ts').toOnlyExport('Client', 'ClientOptions')
255
+ archer.expect('src/**').toUseStrictEquality()
256
+ archer.expect('src/**').not.toUseGlobals('eval', 'Function')
257
+ archer.expect('src/**').not.toUseImportedSymbols('react', 'useEffect')
258
+ archer.expect('src/**').toHaveResolvableDependencies()
259
+ archer.expect('src/index.ts').toBePublicApi()
260
+ ```
261
+
262
+ Naming and size rules remain available through `toHavePrefix`,
263
+ `toHaveSuffix`, and `toHaveLineCountLessThan`.
264
+
265
+ These are static checks. Runtime dependency injection, reflection-generated
266
+ exports, and targets hidden behind computed imports cannot be inferred.
267
+
268
+ ### Imported API policies
269
+
270
+ `toUseImportedSymbols()` matches calls by their original module and export. It
271
+ recognizes named-import aliases, namespace calls, default-import property
272
+ calls, element access with a literal name, and CommonJS destructuring.
273
+
274
+ That keeps framework names out of Archer's rule engine. A React policy can be
275
+ written from generic rules:
276
+
277
+ ```ts
278
+ archer
279
+ .expect('src/frontend/components/**/*.{ts,tsx}')
280
+ .not.toBeClasses()
281
+ .and.not.toUseImportedSymbols('react', 'useEffect', 'useContext')
282
+
283
+ archer.expect('src/frontend/state/**').toDependOn('npm:zustand')
284
+ ```
285
+
286
+ The same call rule can reject Vue `provide` and `inject`, or Svelte
287
+ `setContext` and `getContext`, in JavaScript and TypeScript modules:
288
+
289
+ ```ts
290
+ archer.expect('src/vue/**').not.toUseImportedSymbols('vue', 'provide', 'inject')
291
+ archer.expect('src/svelte/**').not.toUseImportedSymbols('svelte', 'setContext', 'getContext')
292
+ ```
293
+
294
+ Vue and Svelte single-file components need their compiler parsers because a
295
+ `.vue` or `.svelte` file is not a TypeScript source file. Archer does not parse
296
+ those formats as TypeScript or claim that their template dependencies were
297
+ checked. They belong in source-analyzer integrations, while the core rules
298
+ remain framework-neutral.
299
+
300
+ ## Rule metadata, custom rules, and presets
301
+
302
+ Rules default to error severity. Stable IDs make baselines and CI annotations
303
+ less sensitive to wording changes.
304
+
305
+ ```ts
306
+ archer
307
+ .expect('src/legacy/**')
308
+ .not.toDependOn('src/new-core/**')
309
+ .as('migration/no-new-core')
310
+ .because('Legacy code is being removed, not expanded.')
311
+ .withSeverity('warning')
312
+ ```
313
+
314
+ Custom rules may be synchronous or asynchronous:
315
+
316
+ ```ts
317
+ archer.expect('src/features/**').toSatisfy('features/one-entrypoint', ({ modules }) =>
318
+ modules.flatMap((module) =>
319
+ module.exports.length > 1
320
+ ? [
321
+ {
322
+ file: module.path,
323
+ message: 'Feature exports more than one symbol.',
324
+ rule: 'features expose one entrypoint',
325
+ severity: 'error',
326
+ },
327
+ ]
328
+ : [],
329
+ ),
330
+ )
331
+ ```
332
+
333
+ Built-in presets are `strict`, `node`, and `security`:
334
+
335
+ ```ts
336
+ archer.preset('strict')
337
+ archer.preset('node')
338
+
339
+ registerPreset('company', (suite) => {
340
+ suite.expect('src/**').not.toDependOn('npm:deprecated-sdk')
341
+ })
342
+ ```
343
+
344
+ ## Monorepos and project references
345
+
346
+ Archer discovers npm/Yarn and pnpm workspaces plus referenced tsconfigs. You
347
+ can also declare projects and override their source selection:
348
+
349
+ ```ts
350
+ export default defineConfig({
351
+ projects: [
352
+ 'packages/core/tsconfig.json',
353
+ {
354
+ tsconfig: 'apps/*/tsconfig.json',
355
+ include: ['src/**/*.ts', 'scripts/**/*.ts'],
356
+ },
357
+ ],
358
+ rules(archer) {
359
+ archer.expect('packages/**').toBeFreeOfCycles()
360
+ },
361
+ })
362
+ ```
363
+
364
+ Set `workspaces: false`, `followSymlinks: false`, `cache: false`, or
365
+ `tsconfig: false` to override the corresponding defaults.
366
+
367
+ ## Reports and baselines
368
+
369
+ The CLI supports `pretty`, `agent`, `llm`, `json`, `sarif`, `github`, and `dot` reporters.
370
+ `agent` and its `llm` alias emit one stable, single-line record per finding without ANSI output:
371
+
372
+ ```sh
373
+ npx archer check --reporter agent
374
+ npx archer check --reporter sarif --output reports/archer.sarif
375
+ npx archer check --reporter github
376
+ npx archer check --reporter dot --output reports/dependencies.dot
377
+ ```
378
+
379
+ Adopt Archer in an existing codebase without accepting new violations:
380
+
381
+ ```sh
382
+ npx archer check --update-baseline
383
+ npx archer check
384
+ ```
385
+
386
+ The default baseline is `.archer-baseline.json`. Use `--baseline <file>` or
387
+ the config `baseline` field to choose another path. `--fail-on-warnings` makes
388
+ warning-level rules affect the CLI exit code.
389
+
390
+ The core API exposes the same data for integrations:
391
+
392
+ ```ts
393
+ import { ArchitectureError, createArcher } from '@lucasacoutinho/archer'
394
+
395
+ const archer = createArcher({ root: process.cwd() })
396
+ archer.expect('src/**').toBeFreeOfCycles()
397
+
398
+ const result = await archer.check()
399
+ if (!result.ok) throw new ArchitectureError(result)
400
+ ```
401
+
402
+ ## Agent skill
403
+
404
+ Archer ships a portable [Agent Skill](https://openagentskills.dev/) in
405
+ `skills/archer`. Its source is versioned with the engine and included in the npm
406
+ package, so it is not tied to one developer's local agent configuration.
407
+
408
+ Install it into any supported coding agent with the Skills CLI:
409
+
410
+ ```sh
411
+ npx skills add lucasacoutinho/archer --skill archer
412
+ ```
413
+
414
+ Agents can then use `$archer` to set up rules, diagnose findings, and fix source
415
+ violations without weakening architecture policy.
416
+
417
+ ## Development
418
+
419
+ Archer dogfoods its rules in both `test/architecture.test.ts` and
420
+ `archer.config.ts`. The repository checks Node 20, 22, and 24 on Linux and
421
+ Windows, plus Jest, Bun, `node:test`, the CLI, package exports, and type
422
+ definitions.
423
+
424
+ ```sh
425
+ npm install
426
+ npm run fmt
427
+ npm run lint
428
+ npm run check
429
+ npm run check:package
430
+ npm run release:check
431
+ ```
432
+
433
+ To cross-test the adjacent tiacore checkout, build tiacore once and run:
434
+
435
+ ```sh
436
+ npm run test:tia
437
+ npm run test:tia:verify
438
+ ```
439
+
440
+ The scripts prefer an installed `@lucasacoutinho/tiacore` package and otherwise
441
+ use `../tiacore`. Set `TIACORE_VITEST_ENTRY` or `TIACORE_CLI` for a checkout in
442
+ another location.
443
+
444
+ ## Releasing
445
+
446
+ Releases publish to the public npm registry from the `Publish package` workflow
447
+ (`.github/workflows/publish.yml`) with npm trusted publishing, so no npm token is
448
+ stored in the repository and npm attaches provenance automatically. npm can only
449
+ attach a trusted publisher to a package that already exists, so the first
450
+ version is published manually by a maintainer with two-factor authentication.
451
+ After that, link the workflow once:
452
+
453
+ ```sh
454
+ npm trust github @lucasacoutinho/archer --file publish.yml --repo lucasacoutinho/archer --allow-publish
455
+ ```
