How to run a multi-hour research or engineering campaign with review with Argus Agent

Start an Argus campaign that plans, executes, and reviews work without a human at the keyboard.

Short answer: Install Node.js 22.12 or later and sign in to one Agent CLI, for example by running copilot login; then run argus --config-help to see the available configuration options; run argus and give it the goal and the project folder for the campaign. All steps.

Who it is forAn engineer or researcher with a multi-stage project who needs progress to continue overnight or between meetings.

The problemA single agent chat stops when the model turn ends, so long work needs someone to restart it and check each result.

The outcomeA campaign that keeps moving through stages, where a separate Reviewer must accept each result before it counts as done.

What you need first

  • Node.js 22.12 or later
  • One authenticated Agent CLI, such as GitHub Copilot CLI, OpenAI Codex CLI, or Claude Code
  • A project folder you are willing to let the agents modify

Steps

  1. Install Node.js 22.12 or later and sign in to one Agent CLI, for example by running copilot login.
  2. Run argus --config-help to see the available configuration options.
  3. Run argus and give it the goal and the project folder for the campaign.
  4. Check progress at any time with argus --status.
  5. When the campaign is finished or you want it to stop, run argus --daemon-stop --drain.

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. Setup, diagnostics, and tasks can use your provider's quota or paid usage, and the README says Argus is not a filesystem sandbox, so use a folder you can restore.
