About
Argus is the result of work by one person and several language models, with each role written down as it was actually played. The list below reproduces the repository’s CONTRIBUTORS.md. The code is under the MIT licence.
Who did what
- Ronan Davalan — Architect and arbiter. Author of the original production scripts (2024), product vision, scope decisions, validation and testing on real machines.
- Claude Code (Anthropic) — Lead developer and engineer. SSH, Fail2Ban and CrowdSec collectors, daily chart rendering,
argus-doctor.sh, the Debian package and the documentation. - Gemini (Google) — Synthesizer and strategic co-writer. Planning of on-demand multi-machine chart generation and framing of the project’s purpose; its claims were cross-checked against the code.
- Gemini (Google), GLM-5.3-Flash Free and Gemini 4 Argon — Graphic designers. The project’s visual identity (mark, icon, favicon): Gemini proposed the first colored version, GLM-5.3-Flash Free added the notion of position that replaced the initial keyhole and drew the SVG, Gemini 4 Argon recentered and improved the final result. Adopted by Ronan Davalan on 2026-11-02.
- DeepSeek — Field companion. Installed and configured the CrowdSec instance on a real server against which
collect-crowdsec.shwas validated and corrected. - gd2: Ronan Davalan’s late brother. He taught Ronan Git and how to use it, advised on this project, and made the first outside edit to its README (2024-08-07).
