How to install Argus Code

exact command to give. Open KrishBhimani/argus-code and copy the folder into
~/.claude/skills/, or the file into ~/.claude/agents/.
What Argus Code does
See what Claude Code actually did. Local-first observability for every session: which tools ran, what each sub-agent was told, which turn blew the budget. Cost, tokens, error alerts, full-text search. SQLite on your machine, nothing leaves it.
Alternatives in Development
- Opik Openclaw โ ๐ฆ Official plugin for OpenClaw that exports agent traces to Opik 725 โ
- Cost Xray โ See what Claude Code and Codex actually send to the API โ and what each part costs 586 โ

README
Argus
The observability console for Claude Code โ local-first, permanent, and honest about cost.
Quick start ยท Tour ยท CLI ยท Privacy ยท Architecture ยท Contributing
Claude Code writes a detailed transcript of every session to `~/.claude/` โ every turn, every token, every tool call, every sub-agent it spawned โ and then tells you almost nothing about it. Argus tails those files into a SQLite archive on your machine, prices each turn, and serves a dashboard at `http://localhost:4242` that answers the questions the transcripts never do: *what am I spending, where did it go, and which turn made it so?*
Nothing leaves your computer. No telemetry, no API calls, no embeddings โ SQLite and a static web app, bound to `127.0.0.1`.
