# Argus Skill
CLI tool for GitHub/Forgejo community awareness — tracking notifications, logging activity, managing escalations.
## Installation (For Agents)
If `argus` is not installed, run these steps:
### Step 1: Install Argus
```bash
git clone https://forgejo.tail593e12.ts.net/Zeus/argus.git /opt/argus
cd /opt/argus && ./scripts/install.sh
ln -sf ~/.local/bin/datasette /usr/local/bin/datasette 2>/dev/null || true
```
### Step 2: Create Forgejo Token
You need your Forgejo password. Check your git config:
```bash
grep -o 'https://[^:]*:[^@]*@' ~/.openclaw/workspace/.git/config | head -1
```
Then create a token with notification scope:
```bash
# Replace YOURNAME and YOURPASSWORD
curl -s -X POST "https://forgejo.tail593e12.ts.net/api/v1/users/YOURNAME/tokens" \
-u "YOURNAME:YOURPASSWORD" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name":"argus","scopes":["read:notification","read:repository","write:repository"]}' | jq -r '.sha1'
```
### Step 3: Configure Tea
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/tea
cat > ~/.config/tea/config.yml << EOF
logins:
- name: olymp
url: https://forgejo.tail593e12.ts.net
token: TOKEN_FROM_STEP_2
default: true
user: YOURNAME
EOF
```
### Step 4: Watch Repos & Test
```bash
# Watch repos you care about
argus repo watch owner/repo
# Test notification pull
argus notif pull --backend tea
# Check status
argus status
```
### Step 5: Add to HEARTBEAT.md
Add this block to your HEARTBEAT.md:
```markdown
### Argus Community Awareness (Daily)
1. **Check status**: `argus status`
2. **Pull notifications**: `argus notif pull`
3. **Review pending**: `argus notif list --pending --limit 5`
4. **Triage**: For each pending notification:
- If actionable: `argus notif act <id> <action> "<detail>"`
- If not relevant: `argus notif dismiss <id> "<reason>"`
5. **Audit stale**: `argus notif audit --stale-hours 48`
6. **Log activity**: Record significant actions with `argus activity log`
7. **Check escalations**: `argus escalate list --status open`
```
### Step 6: Start Service (Optional)
```bash
systemctl enable --now argus
```
Dashboard: http://localhost:8100
---
## Daily Usage
Once installed, use these commands:
### Status
```bash
argus version # Show version
argus status # Summary: pending, activity, escalations
```
### Repositories
```bash
argus repo list # List watched repos
argus repo watch <owner/repo> # Subscribe to repo
argus repo unwatch <owner/repo> # Unsubscribe from repo
```
### Notifications
```bash
argus notif pull [--backend gh|tea] # Fetch notifications
argus notif list [--pending] # List notifications
argus notif act <id> <action> # Mark as acted
argus notif dismiss <id> [reason] # Dismiss
argus notif audit [--stale-hours] # Auto-escalate stale
```
### Activity Logging
```bash
argus activity log <action> <detail> [--issue ID]
argus activity list [--limit N]
```

```bash
argus escalate create --category CAT --title "..."
