npx claudepluginhub josstei/argus-claude --plugin argusDefines the standard output format for all analysis agent findings. Consistent structure enables validation agents and consolidation to process findings uniformly.
Defines the fundamental principles that guide all Argus analysis. Every agent must internalize these principles to ensure consistent, high-quality recommendations.
Defines the standard output format for validation agent results. Links back to original findings and provides evidence for decisions.
Defines the contract for all validation agents. Validation agents verify findings from analysis agents, ensuring only proven issues reach the final report.

The all-seeing code reviewer
Argus is a multi-agent code review system designed to detect and prevent architecture drift in evolving codebases.
It runs specialized agents in parallel—covering areas like architecture, naming, dependency injection, dead code, and error handling—and validates every finding against the code. Argus also integrates with the Codex CLI and Gemini to cross-validate results across multiple LLMs, discarding any unverified issues and surfacing only accurate, actionable feedback.
