Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00602 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00301 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00001 | $0.00120 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00060 |
Grade A, and why
config scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Argus Configuration
View review levels and manage global settings.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Parse the arguments to determine the action:
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| (empty) | Show review levels and current settings |
set scope <path> |
Set default scope directory |
set output <format> |
Set default output format |
Review Levels
Argus has three built-in review levels:
| Level | Model | Depth | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fast | Haiku | quick | Quick scan (~2 min, low tokens) |
| Balanced | Sonnet | standard | Standard review (~5 min, moderate tokens) |
| Comprehensive | Opus | thorough | Deep analysis (~8 min, higher tokens) |
Implementation
Step 1: Determine Action
Parse $ARGUMENTS:
- Empty → Show current state
- "set scope <path>" → Set scope
- "set output <format>" → Set output
Step 2: Execute Action
Action: (empty) - Show Configuration
- Load
defaults.jsonto get review levels - Check for scope/output overrides in
~/.claude/argus.json - Detect current scope if set to "auto"
- Display:
Argus Configuration
===================
Review Levels:
fast Haiku | ~2 min
balanced Sonnet | ~5 min (default)
comprehensive Opus | ~8 min
Settings:
scope: {scope_value} {if auto: (currently: detected_path)}
output: {output_value}
Change settings:
/argus:config set scope lib/
/argus:config set output markdown
Action: set scope <path>
- Validate the path is "auto" or exists as a directory
- Write to
~/.claude/argus.json:{ "scope": "lib/" } - Display confirmation:
Set scope = lib/
Valid values: auto, or any valid directory path
Action: set output <format>
- Validate format is one of:
inline,markdown,json - Write to
~/.claude/argus.json:{ "output": "markdown" } - Display confirmation:
Set output = markdown
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

config is a command published in the GitHub repository josstei/argus-claude (6 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6 tokens to every session and 602 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
