What it does
Argus is an open-source static-analysis CLI that inspects every package an AI agent or MCP server tries to install. It runs SAST on the actual source code and blocks malicious payloads before they touch your machine.
Argus scans packages before they land in your environment, blocking malicious install-time code, hardcoded secrets, and dangerous execution paths in packages installed by humans or AI agents. Modern AI-agent and MCP ecosystems encourage installing packages from the internet with a single command. Manifest checks tell you the package is what its author published — they don't tell you what the code actually does. Argus extracts the package, walks every source file, and runs language-aware rules. Chain it with && in front of any package manager: critical findings exit 1, the install never runs. Seven primitives that compose into a single CLI. Each one earns its place — no telemetry, no cloud…from argusgate.sh

Agent-of-empires: OpenCode and Claude Code session managerJan 2026 · github.com · ▲118Hi! I’m Nathan: an ML Engineer at Mozilla.ai: I built agent-of-empires (aoe): a CLI application to help you manage all of your running Claude Code/Opencode sessions and know when they are waiting for you. - Written in rust and relies on tmux for security and reliability - Monitors state of cli sessions to tell you when an agent is running vs idle vs waiting for your input - Manage sessions by naming them, grouping them, configuring profiles for various settings I'm passionate about getting self-hosted open-weight LLMs to be valid options to compete with proprietary closed models.

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
