  • Guardrail that checks agent-written code against a repo's own git-history-learned patterns — flags foreign dependencies, reinvented functions, misplaced code, broken layering, and gamed tests. Exposes voicecontext (the repo's familiar imports/idioms for a file, so agents write in-voice before generating), check (score a generated hunk against the repo's patterns), and explain. 100% local, no LLM, single Rust binary. npm i -g @tmonier/argot
    AI-powered developer assistant that enables advanced research, analysis and discovery across GitHub and NPM realms in realtime.
