⚡ Botcircuits Argus - an agent skill that cuts ~80% of token usage while running your repetitive workflows predictably, traceably, and cost-efficiently.
Summary
Botcircuits Argus pre-compiles repetitive workflows into deterministic execution flows, cutting ~80% token usage while maintaining accuracy by providing the agent only the exact context needed at each step.
