Argot Overview

Argot learns a repository-specific baseline from Git history and evaluates code changes against it without sending data to a cloud service or using a separate LLM. Its MCP interface exposes repository voice context, code checks, and explanations for findings. Use it when AI-generated changes need review for unfamiliar dependencies, misplaced code, layering violations, or suspicious tests.
