Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 7, Technical: 8, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Argus is a self-hosted runtime for long-running AI agents that enforces budgets, requires approvals before risky actions, sandboxes commands with Landlock, and recovers from crashes, all controllable via Telegram or a web UI. It stands out for treating agent control as deterministic code (commands, schedules, budgets) rather than model output, backed by a rigorous plugin architecture on the DeepSeek Harness and over 2,000 automated tests.

Target audience: devops engineers and backend developers running autonomous AI agents on their own servers
