Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s1757zbbgb226m951fdfmj4s6s860nkn:argus-lite

Setup complexity is LOW. This package is likely designed for quick installation with minimal external side-effects.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

Run-check

$0.02 USD

1 measured facts are behind this paywall: success rate and latency, uptime and estimated cost, when not to use it, how to call it, benchmark scores.

Agents pay $0.02 in USDC. A card payment is $0.50, the smallest a card allows.

| Files | **1 file only** | Full directory recursion |
| Rules | **10 (critical/high)** | 40+ incl. performance |
| Languages | Python only | Python + JavaScript |
| JSON output | â | â CI-ready |
| CI exit codes | â | â FAIL_ON_CRITICAL |
| Ignore paths | â | â |
| Deduplication | Basic | Smart cross-file |

ð **Upgrade:** `openclaw skills install argus-pro` â key at **ko-fi.com/s/8b27346505**

ð° **Bundle deal:** all 5 Pro skills for **$29** â **ko-fi.com/s/7625accf3f** (save $16)

## Step 1 â Install

```bash
pip3 install rich --break-system-packages --quiet
```

---

## Step 2 â Quick security scan (Lite)

```python
import os, re
from pathlib import Path
from rich.console import Console
from rich.table import Table
from rich.panel import Panel
from rich import box

console = Console()

SRC_PATH = os.environ.get("SOURCE_PATH",".").strip()
src      = Path(SRC_PATH)

# Find a single Python file to scan
if src.is_dir():
    py_files = list(src.rglob("*.py"))
    if not py_files:
        console.print(f"[yellow]No .py files found in {SRC_PATH}[/yellow]")
        raise SystemExit(0)
    target = py_files[0]
    if len(py_files) > 1:
        console.print(f"[yellow]â¹ï¸  Lite scans 1 file at a time. Scanning: {target}\n   (Upgrade to Pro to scan all {len(py_files)} files)[/yellow]\n")
elif src.is_file():
    target = src
else:
    console.print(f"[red]â Not found: {SRC_PATH}[/red]")
    raise SystemExit(1)

# Top 10 critical/high rules only (Lite)
RULES = [

## Description:

Argus Lite scans a single Python file for ten critical and high-priority security and bug patterns.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[occupythemilkyway](https://clawhub.ai/user/occupythemilkyway)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers use Argus Lite to run a lightweight review of one Python file for common security issues and bug patterns before deeper review or scanning.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The security review verdict is suspicious because the install step and runtime behavior need review before use.

Mitigation: Review the skill before installing, run it in a virtual environment, and pin or verify the rich dependency.

Risk: The default SOURCE_PATH value can scan the first Python file found from the current directory instead of an explicit target.

Mitigation: Set SOURCE_PATH to an explicit Python file before running the scan.

Risk: The skill includes an upgrade and payment prompt that is advertising rather than scan output.

Mitigation: Treat Pro install and purchase links as promotional content and separate them from security findings.

- [ClawHub listing](https://clawhub.ai/occupythemilkyway/argus-lite)
- [ClawHub skill page](https://clawhub.ai/occupythemilkyway/skills/argus-lite)

## Skill Output:

**Output Type(s):** [Text, Shell commands, Code, Guidance]

**Output Format:** [Markdown instructions with bash and Python code blocks; terminal text and table scan results when executed]

**Output Parameters:** [1D]

**Other Properties Related to Output:** [Requires python3, pip3, and the rich Python package; SOURCE_PATH selects the Python file or directory to scan.]

## Skill Version(s):

1.0.4 (source: frontmatter and server release evidence)

## Ethical Considerations:

Users should evaluate whether this skill is appropriate for their environment, review any generated or modified files before relying on them, and apply their organization's safety, security, and compliance requirements before deployment.
