 "title": "Run a multi-hour research or engineering campaign with review",
 "page_title": "How to run a multi-hour research or engineering campaign with review with Argus Agent",
 "summary": "Start an Argus campaign that plans, executes, and reviews work without a human at the keyboard.",
 "who": "An engineer or researcher with a multi-stage project who needs progress to continue overnight or between meetings.",
 "problem": "A single agent chat stops when the model turn ends, so long work needs someone to restart it and check each result.",
 "outcome": "A campaign that keeps moving through stages, where a separate Reviewer must accept each result before it counts as done.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Node.js 22.12 or later and sign in to one Agent CLI, for example by running `copilot login`.",
  "Run `argus --config-help` to see the available configuration options.",
  "Run `argus` and give it the goal and the project folder for the campaign.",
  "Check progress at any time with `argus --status`.",
  "When the campaign is finished or you want it to stop, run `argus --daemon-stop --drain`."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the microsoft/ArgusAgent repo, start an Argus campaign for the goal <research or engineering goal> in the folder <project path>. Expect the output of `argus --status` showing the current stage and the artifacts the Reviewer has accepted. Verify that any step involving credentials, payment, irreversible actions, or publication is paused for a human.",

 "lang": "python",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js 22.12 or later",
