Argus: A GitHub App That Reviews CLAUDE.md Files and Posts Scores on PRs
Argus is a GitHub App that automatically reviews CLAUDE.md files and posts a score on every pull request. The tool was built using Claude Code, which helped design the scoring standard and write the webhook handler.
What Argus Does
The app analyzes CLAUDE.md files against a scoring standard and provides feedback directly on GitHub pull requests. After running against multiple repositories, the developer found that most CLAUDE.md files fail the same two checks:
- No explicit scope limits (what the AI agent cannot do)
- No escalation path (when the agent should stop and ask a human)
Availability and Installation
Argus is available for free installation on public repositories at github.com/apps/argusreview. The tool allows developers to see how their CLAUDE.md files score against the established standards.
CLAUDE.md files are configuration files used to guide AI coding assistants like Claude Code, providing instructions, constraints, and guidelines for how the AI should approach coding tasks. Having clear scope limits and escalation paths helps prevent the AI from making inappropriate changes or getting stuck on tasks that require human intervention.
