Use Argus for local/private reasoning through Olympus.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Ask Argus

Argus is the local/private reasoning lane for Olympus. In v0.1, Argus means
MLX-served local models exposed through OpenAI-compatible endpoints.

Use the tier names Public, Personal, Private, and Secrets when explaining
results. Personal maps to `internal` (S1–S3); Private maps to `secure_local`
(S4). Existing IDs and tool flags such as `include_secure_local` keep their
spelling. In the schema-v1 tier keys of owner tier rules, `private` means
Personal and `secure` means Private; never substitute one for the other.

## Contract

Use Olympus tools rather than calling local model endpoints directly.

- `argus_ping` checks whether an Argus lane is reachable.
- `argus_list_models` lists served models for a lane.
- `argus_complete` sends one prompt to a local model and returns the response.

## Lane Choice

Honor an explicit lane request and the deployment's configured default lane
(`fast` in the shipped defaults). By default, `fast` and `deep` use the same
Delphi endpoint and model; selecting `deep` alone adds no reasoning depth or
privacy.

Operators can configure distinct endpoints or models for either lane. Follow

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jamiezigelbaum/olympus/ask-argus@sha256:56cb1be74092c5bc

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
