- Argus is a worktree-first VS Code cockpit for Claude Code and Codex that organizes projects, Git worktrees, native agent tabs, changed files, and terminals in one window.
- It discovers Git worktrees, starts Claude Code or Codex sessions with the exact worktree as their working directory, reopens native provider tabs, groups terminals by worktree, shows changed files, and observes provider session state.
- Argus acts as an organizer and integration layer, while Claude Code and Codex retain their native chat interfaces, models, authentication, and remote requests.
- To get started, install VS Code 1.125.0+, a supported agent extension, add a Git repository, select a worktree, and use New Session or New Terminal.
- Requirements include macOS on Apple Silicon, VS Code 1.125.0+, Git, and Claude Code 2.1.206+ or compatible Codex extension.
- Argus 0.1 is a preview with limitations: it doesn't create or delete worktrees, session status may be stale, Codex tabs may need reopening, and terminal environment changes may require native actions.
- Support is via the Argus issue tracker, and privacy is ensured by no telemetry or external remote service; it only reads local data.
