Argus Panoptes

Argus (Agent Registry, Guidance and Unified Supervision) is a local-first, open-source command center for AI coding agents. Named after Argus Panoptes, the hundred eyed giant of Greek myth who never truly slept. Argus watches every agent session at once so you don't have to. AI coding agents can now write code, run tests, and build features, but running several of them across different projects turns the developer into a full-time babysitter. You watch every terminal, chase every failure, and answer every permission prompt, so the promised autonomy never arrives. Argus puts every agent session in one dashboard (desktop app, with a mobile PWA for remote control). It tracks activity, status, and events, holds approval requests as pending while other in-scope work keeps moving, and brings failures into focus as incidents. Its supervision assistant, GUS, turns raw agent activity into a plain-language picture: what happened, what is blocked, and what could happen next. Consequential actions stay behind explicit human approval, and recovery is verified with real checks rather than trusted because a model said it worked. The result is less babysitting without giving up control: start your agents, step away, and come back to a clear report of what finished, what failed, what needs your decision, and what has been verified. Today Argus supervises OpenCode, with a design that extends to other coding agents.
