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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 83 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00021 | $0.02983 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00008 | $0.01193 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00597 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00298 |
Grade A, and why
argus-runtime-orchestration 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 1mo 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 — 91 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Argus runtime orchestration
Use when a task benefits from durable state, artifacts, experiments, background execution, independent review, pause/resume, or continuation beyond one model turn. Do not use for a quick answer, simple read-only inspection, or a small operation the current host can safely finish and verify directly.
Known limitations
- Argus does not provide a universally portable push/callback from Needs you into every outer operator. The outer operator must actively inspect compact Argus status/output at meaningful boundaries. Intervention detection may not be real-time when the host cannot maintain durable monitoring, and this skill forbids claiming unattended supervision in that case.
- The Hermes Agent and Claude Code adapters are currently documentation-validated rather than locally execution-tested on this host.
- Some Copilot CLI skill commands in current documentation are absent from the locally tested 1.0.39 build, so feature detection is required.
Two-party operating model and configuration
There are exactly two operational parties:
- The outer operator: OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Cursor CLI, or another shell-capable agent following this skill. It stages the mission, launches and observes Argus, handles operator questions within delegated authority, verifies artifacts, and reports compactly.
- Argus: the durable supervised system that plans, executes, reviews, persists state, surfaces questions, and produces evidence and artifacts.
Any model/provider CLI Argus uses internally—such as codex, copilot, claude, cursor, pi, opencode, or grok—is Argus configuration and an implementation detail, not a third role, peer actor, or separate party in this procedure. The outer operator may select or verify Argus's configured internal model/provider during preflight when operationally necessary and authorized; otherwise it treats Argus as one durable supervised system. Do not infer Argus configuration from the outer operator's identity, even when names happen to match.
What ships with it
7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-runtime-orchestration is a skill published in the GitHub repository lbx154/Argus (329 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 2,983 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
