version: "1.0.0" name: argus-run description: Use when work needs persistent multi-step execution, independent review, resumable project state, or long-running research and engineering coordination through Argus.

Run With Argus

Use the installed Argus MCP tools. Do not imitate the Argus roles in the host session and do not write Argus state files directly.

1. Call argus_project_list with the exact current work directory.
2. Reuse the most recently active exact-workdir project when one exists;

otherwise call argus_project_create with that directory and a concise name.

1. Call argus_message with the user's complete objective. Manager owns chat

versus task routing, lifetime, workflow, domain, and execution handoff.

1. Report the project ID and whether the turn was handled inline or dispatched.
2. For dispatched work, stop the current turn. Do not create an unchanged polling

loop; use the argus-status Skill when status is requested.

If the MCP server is unavailable, run argus --doctor and report the exact installation or backend failure. Do not silently replace Argus with an ad hoc single-agent workflow.

Never claim completion from dispatch, daemon activity, loss, or intermediate artifacts. Argus completion comes from its persisted Reviewer/Manager state.
