Argus
GitHub Install

Built for teams shipping under pressure

Your team already pays for AI. Now get review quality that feels senior.

Most AI review tools add another platform, another bill, and generic output. Argus keeps you in your existing stack, understands real diffs, and returns feedback that engineers can trust.

  • Use existing subscriptions of Claude Code or Codex
  • Evaluate diffs in terminal or VSCode
  • Talk to code through Claude Code or Codex with structured outcomes

Open source. MIT licensed. Built for real PR workflows.

No New AI Contract

Keep procurement simple by reusing existing Claude Code or Codex subscriptions.

No Context Switching

Review where you already work: CLI, VSCode, PR comments, and markdown outputs.

No Generic Feedback

Architect-level prompts produce actionable findings with severity and impact context.

AI-native by default

Designed for the 2026 engineering stack

Argus acts like an AI review command center

Bring your preferred model runtime, feed it authentic repository context, and get structured findings instead of vague text walls. Everything is optimized for a human+AI loop, not one-shot generation.

  • Model-flexible: Claude Code and Codex supported
  • Context-rich: PR metadata, diffs, commits, changed files
  • Action-ready: severity, impact, recommendation, export formats

Empathy-first product design

This is what engineering teams tell us they need

"We already pay for AI. Why another monthly bill?"

Argus plugs into the subscriptions your developers already use every day.

"Most AI review output is broad and low-signal."

Argus is tuned for architecture, security, and cross-module impact, not just style nits.

"Don’t force us into another dashboard."

Terminal-first plus SARIF and PR comment workflows keep review inside your team habits.
