Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

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.

Security

Grade A, and why

review 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 7d 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.

Argus Code Review

Multi-agent code review orchestrator with cross-validation from multiple LLM providers.


Configuration

Step 1: Parse Arguments and Load Config

  1. Parse $ARGUMENTS for:
    • --level <fast|balanced|comprehensive> - Skip confirmation prompt
    • --scope <path> - Override scope directory
    • --output <format> - Override output format
    • --yes or -y - Accept defaults without confirmation
    • --external - Detect external validators and add any detected tools to validators
  2. Load defaults.json for review levels and options
  3. Default to balanced level

Step 2: Confirmation or Execute

If --level OR --yes provided: Skip to Step 3 (no prompt)

Otherwise, show confirmation prompt:

Argus Code Review
=================
Ready to run with:
  Level:  Balanced (Sonnet, ~5 min)
  Scope:  {detected_scope}
  Output: inline

[1] Change level  [2] Change scope  [3] Change output  [Enter] Start  [Q] Cancel

Handle input:

  • Enter/empty → proceed with shown settings
  • 1 → prompt for level (fast/balanced/comprehensive)
  • 2 → prompt for scope path
  • 3 → prompt for output format (inline/markdown/json)
  • Q/q → abort review

Step 3: Apply Selected Level

Load the settings from the selected review level:

  • model - Claude model for agents
  • depth - Which phases to run
  • strictness - Issue sensitivity threshold
  • validators - Validation providers
  • output - Output format (can be overridden by --output)

If --external is set, detected tools are appended to validators in Step 6.

Step 4: Smart Scope Detection

If scope is "auto" (default), detect in order:

  1. Check if src/ exists → use src/
  2. Check if lib/ exists → use lib/
  3. Check if app/ exists → use app/
  4. Check if packages/ exists → use packages/ (monorepo)
  5. Fall back to . (current directory)

Step 5: Display Summary and Start

Argus Code Review
=================
Level:  {selected level}
Model:  {config.model}
Scope:  {detected or config.scope}
Phases: {phases based on depth}

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.
