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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00326 | $0.00326 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00163 | $0.00163 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00065 | $0.00065 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00033 |
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.
What it actually says
Claude Code — Argus
What this file is for: Claude Code's entry point into this repo. The canonical guide for any AI coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode) lives in AGENTS.md — Claude Code reads both, but the content lives there. Keep this file short.
See AGENTS.md for project conventions, architecture, key commands, provider tiers, configuration, and the rules contributors must follow.
Claude-Code-specific notes
- The MCP server in this repo is
argus— you can use it directly from Claude Code viaargus mcp serve(stdio) or by configuring a remote HTTP transport. See the Integration → MCP section of README.md. - The repo is pinned to Python 3.12 for development. Use
uv run pytest ..., not the system interpreter. See CONTRIBUTING.md. - Local-only operator artifacts (e.g.
1shot/,docs/sessions/,.janitor/,.claude/) are gitignored. Don't write into them as part of a PR. - When changing user-facing behavior, update README,
.env.example, and CHANGELOG (under[Unreleased]). Do not bump the version inpyproject.tomlorserver.json— releases are cut separately. See docs/releasing.md.
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.

argus CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository Khamel83/argus (4 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 326 tokens to every session, about $0.0016 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.
