Argus Skill

Argus ships as a skill package — a single downloadable zip that turns any agent framework into a frontend design reviewer. This page explains what the skill is, how to download it, and how to use it inside your agent.

If you already use the GitHub App (Getting Started), you don’t need the skill — the App automates everything. The skill is for teams that want the same review power inside their own coding tool.

What’s in the skill package

The archive argus-skill-v{VERSION}.zip contains three files:

Why it matters: Argus’s review behavior is defined entirely by AGENTS.md and SKILL.md — any agent that reads Markdown can apply them. The composite action injects those rules into an LLM prompt at review time; no build step or runtime service is required to run reviews.

Download

Get the latest skill package from the GitHub Releases page — look for the asset named argus-skill-v{VERSION}.zip on the newest release.

Direct download link — replace {VERSION} with the actual version number from the Releases page:

https://github.com/cgartlab/argus/releases/latest/download/argus-skill-v{VERSION}.zip

Version tip: the {VERSION} in the asset name matches the release tag. If you want a specific version, download the asset from that release’s page instead of the latest one.

How to use it

Option 1 — Install as a skill in your agent

Each agent framework has a skills/ directory where skill packages live. Unzip the archive into that folder and name the top folder after the skill.

# Generic example — check your framework's docs for the exact path
# Replace {VERSION} with the version you downloaded from the Releases page
mkdir -p ~/.config/<agent>/skills/argus-design-review
unzip argus-skill-v{VERSION}.zip -d ~/.config/<agent>/skills/argus-design-review

Common locations:

Option 2 — Point your agent at the repository

Clone the repo and let your agent load rules from it — no unzipping needed:

git clone https://github.com/cgartlab/argus.git
cd argus

Point your agent framework at this folder; AGENTS.md + SKILL.md load automatically.

Option 3 — Invoke by skill name

If your framework discovers skills by name (like OpenCode), you can also invoke the registered skill directly:

argus-design-review: review src/components/Button.jsx

What to say to trigger a review

Once the skill is loaded, ask for a design review in plain language. Trigger phrases include:

• “帮我 review 这段代码”
• “检查一下这个组件的设计问题”
• “看看有没有 hardcoded values”
• “dark mode 有没有遗漏”
• “帮我做个 design audit”

Argus then audits the target code and returns findings with the standard [P#] file:line format plus a copy-ready fix for every issue.

Before you run a review

Argus reviews run on the OpenCode Zen free model (IDs end in -free). Authenticate once:

opencode auth login

Choose OpenCode and paste your key from opencode.ai/auth — or set the OPENCODE_API_KEY environment variable. The free model costs 0 USD per token, but the API still authenticates every call.

Skill vs GitHub App

Both use the same rules — AGENTS.md + SKILL.md — so a review looks identical either way.
