argus CLAUDE.md

argus CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from Dragoon0x/argus. It costs 1,423 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Argus, a TypeScript monorepo that gives AI coding agents tools to inspect and judge visual design quality. They describe its packages, applications, commands, and dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when developing Argus, especially when working across its shared packages, command-line tool, MCP server, gateway, or browser extension.
Why use it?
They give coding agents the project context needed to make changes in the right places and use the correct build commands.

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.

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

argus CLAUDE.md 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 4d 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.

CLAUDE.md — Agent Instructions for Argus

This file tells AI coding agents how to work on the Argus codebase.

What is Argus?

Argus is a design intelligence runtime for AI agents. It gives coding agents the ability to see, judge, and learn from visual design quality. The codebase is a TypeScript monorepo using pnpm workspaces.

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.
