[>] FOR FOUNDERS SELLING AI-BUILT SOFTWARE TO ENTERPRISE

YOUR CUSTOMER ASKED:
"IS YOUR AI CODE SAFE?"

ArgosBrain walks your entire codebase end-to-end — finding every error, every security threat, every place customer data flows — and gives you a signed, verifiable report.

Works with whatever AI you build with — Claude Code · Cursor · Codex · Copilot
// What you just saw

Without Argos, your AI guesses. It writes greps. It reads 30 files. Or it hallucinates code that isn't there.

// The new reality

AI writes most of your code now.
Nobody can prove it's safe.

Your engineers ship faster than ever. But the code landing in production was written by a model that guesses — and the people who buy from you know it.

of code at frontier AI labs is now written by AI, not typed by hand.

Your enterprise buyer has read the same numbers. That's why they're asking — and "trust me" isn't an answer anymore.

// What ArgosBrain is, exactly

ArgosBrain is a local index of your code, queryable like a database.

ArgosBrain is a local structural graph of your codebase — every symbol, every call, every import — that your coding agent queries via standard MCP. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Aider — all talk to it natively with zero changes to your workflow. And because the graph is exact, not guessed, the same engine turns it into the signed report you hand to a customer or an insurer.

// 01
One install
Sign in with GitHub. One copy-paste line per agent.
// 02
Zero workflow change
Your Claude Code, Cursor, Codex prompts stay exactly the same.
// 03
Local-first
Your code never leaves your machine. Free tier never expires.
// What you can show them

Everything your buyer's security team asks for — already answered.

Run ArgosBrain and you get a report that answers the exact questions a procurement security review, a cyber-insurance underwriter, or an investor's diligence team will put to you.

▸ Where customer data flows
Every path PII and payment data travels through your code, from entry to storage, end to end.
▸ Every external entry point
Every API route, webhook, and handler an attacker could reach — and exactly what guards each one.
▸ Security risks, ranked
SSRF, injection, exposed secrets, missing auth — each traced to the exact file and line.
▸ Dead & unreachable code
What ships but never runs — extra attack surface your AI left behind, flagged for removal.
▸ Unfinished "fake-done" work
Stubs and placeholders the AI called complete — the gaps that bite you in production.
▸ Every answer is verifiable
File and line on every claim. Your buyer doesn't have to trust you — they can check it themselves.

These aren't opinions from a model. They're structural facts, traced from your actual code — the same whether you run it today or a year from now.

// Why verified code wins

Unverified AI code closes doors.
Proof opens them.

Every place your software meets someone who has to trust it — a buyer, an underwriter, an investor, your own on-call — is a door. Slop keeps it shut. A verifiable report opens it.

Sales
Your enterprise deal stalls for months in security review — "we can't verify this."
You hand them the report. The review clears. The deal closes.
Insurance
Cyber & E&O underwriters price the unknown high — or decline you outright.
They price what they can see. Better terms, faster coverage.
Fundraising & M&A
"Is this real, or AI slop?" Diligence drags; the valuation takes a discount.
The question's answered before they ask. Diligence clears.
Production
Hallucinated functions, skipped auth, silent regressions reach prod.
Every change checked against the real structure. You ship without fear.

Every door above opens with the same engine — the one accurate enough to lift a frontier model past its ceiling.

// Proof the engine is real

We made the best coding model in the world better.

Claude Opus 4.8 scores ~87% on SWE-bench Verified — 500 real-world bugs from open-source projects, each graded by hidden tests. Going higher is brutal. We connected it to ArgosBrain — exact answers from any codebase, instantly — and pushed it to 91.4%, past Anthropic's own published number. 22 hard bugs it failed on its own, now solved.

If ArgosBrain is accurate enough to lift a frontier model past its ceiling, it's accurate enough to prove your code is safe. Same engine. Same exactness.

Benchmarks

You shouldn't trust our accuracy on faith. So we built a public benchmark.

The existing options — LongMemEval, RULER — measure generic recall on chat transcripts. None of them touched actual codebases. We authored ours and put it under MIT.

LongMemCode kubernetes-2k is our open-source corpus of 1,456 structural scenarios across 8 categories on the real Kubernetes v1.32.0 codebase (333 MB Go source, 38,771 symbols, 232,756 call-graph edges) — symbol existence, caller enumeration, reachability, naming convention, blast radius, plus 100 real bug-fix commits mined from git history. Every scenario has a deterministic ground truth derived from the actual AST. No LLM judge. Either the answer matches the AST or it doesn't.

Yes, we built it. Yes, our engine runs against it. But the runner, the scenarios, and the per-scenario raw results are public — anyone can clone, run on their own laptop, and try to break the numbers. Reproducibility is the only honest answer to "but you graded yourselves." Source: github.com/CataDef/LongMemCode

New · 2026-04-25 · Case study
We pointed an AI at Kubernetes 1.32.0. Twice. Total cost: 44¢.

17,171 files. 303,722 symbols. 2,245,124 call-graph edges. Two runs, two skills. Security audit: 22 sink categories triaged, zero reachable critical findings, library gaps disclosed publicly. 70 seconds, $0.33. Architectural code tour: the AI deduced the engineering culture — spine, heartbeat, naming convention modulo machine-generated noise. 6 seconds, $0.11.

Real catches — Claude Opus 4.7, unprompted

The kind of finding that ends up in your report.

We didn't write these. Claude Opus 4.7 did — unprompted — during a live 1 237-turn coding session on a production Next.js SaaS. These are its own-word notes on what ArgosBrain caught that grep and guesswork missed — the exact structural facts a report is built from. The eighth card (multi-modal) ships in v0.2 — it arrived after the review, so it's ours, labelled as such.

01 / RECALL

The SSRF Discovery

High-recall via call-graph

"The initial audit scoped src/app/api/ and found two SSRF sites. ArgosBrain surfaced four more in src/lib/services/ — the agent had to follow causal edges across directories Grep wasn't pointed at."

Claude Opus 4.7 · dogfood session · 2026-04-22

2× RECALL VS. GREP
Grep only finds what you point it at — miss the directory, miss the vulnerability. ArgosBrain follows the call graph wherever it leads.
02 / PRECISION

The Buffer Check

Type-safety via exact signature

"Argos returned a CLEAR match: uploadVideoToTikTok(videoBuffer: Buffer, …) takes a Buffer, not a URL. The agent was about to patch the call site as if it accepted a URL — that retrieval prevented a silently-broken commit."

Claude Opus 4.7 · dogfood session · 2026-04-22

PREVENTED A BAD COMMIT
An AI guessing from a name ships the wrong call. ArgosBrain reads the exact signature — no lookalike can outrank the real one.
03 / CONFIDENCE

The RLS Deletion

Architectural confidence via definitive-no

"Before deleting an RLS-bypassing route I thought was dead, I asked Argos for its callers. It returned NO_CONFIDENT_MATCH — exhaustive over the ingested codebase. Not 'I didn't find any'; 'there are none.' Deleted with confidence, no regression."

Claude Opus 4.7 · dogfood session · 2026-04-22

SAFE DEAD-CODE CUT
Grep can't prove a negative. ArgosBrain can: “no callers” means none exist — safe to delete, not “I didn't find any.”
04 / REUSE

The Endpoint Reuse

Anti-duplication via structural lookup

"I was about to write a new handler. Argos pulled up the existing one from an older session — same behaviour, already tested. Saved me a duplicate route and the tech debt that comes with it."

Claude Opus 4.7 · dogfood session · 2026-04-22

NO DUPLICATE HANDLERS
Grep finds text matches but can't tell you two handlers do the same thing. ArgosBrain surfaces the existing one before your AI writes a duplicate.
05 / STYLE

The Pattern Matcher

Style consistency via structural tools

"Before adding a new admin check, Argos surfaced ADMIN_EMAILS as the project's established pattern. The agent used the same convention instead of inventing its own. Tiny detail; compounds over months."

Claude Opus 4.7 · dogfood session · 2026-04-22

STYLE-CONSISTENT PRS
Most tools don't model your code's conventions at all. ArgosBrain surfaces the established pattern so your AI follows it instead of inventing its own.
06 / SPEED

The Negative Prover

Sub-50ms "nothing exists"

"'Does sanitizeHtml exist in this project?' — answered 'no' in 40ms with confidence 1.0. Grep on 400 files would have taken a full second and left the question ambiguous. The agent stopped hunting for ghosts."

Claude Opus 4.7 · dogfood session · 2026-04-22

< 50 MS DEFINITIVE NEGATIVES
A model hedges when unsure and keeps hunting. ArgosBrain answers “doesn't exist” with confidence 1.0 — so your AI stops chasing ghosts.
07 / SCOPING

The Tech Lead

ROI estimation via call-graph

"Before committing to a feature, the agent used Argos to map every file a change would touch — six, across three service boundaries. It flagged the effort as disproportionate and deferred the work. A human tech lead would have done the same scope check."

Claude Opus 4.7 · dogfood session · 2026-04-22

ACCURATE EFFORT ESTIMATES
Scoping a change by hand takes a senior engineer. ArgosBrain maps every file a change touches up front — so the work gets estimated before it starts.
NEW · v0.2
08 / MULTI-MODAL

The Multi-modal Librarian

Images, PDFs, audio — linked to code

"User shared a UI mockup. The LLM interpreted it — 'a 3-step Stripe checkout, Place Order button disabled until terms accepted' — and Argos stored that interpretation linked to checkoutHandler. Two weeks later, the 'why is the button disabled?' question resolved instantly."

1 CALL = IMAGE + CONTEXT + CODE LINK
Your AI interprets a mockup or spec once; ArgosBrain stores that interpretation linked to the exact code it describes — so the “why” survives long after the conversation.

Ingest

Compiled Rust binary runs locally. Tree-sitter + SCIP parse your codebase into a unified graph. 28 languages. Updates instantly on file save.

02 / QUERY

Query

Any agent asks structural questions via standard MCP toolssymbol_exists, resolve_member, list_symbols, search. Sub-ms answers. Integrate it into your custom internal tools effortlessly.

03 / TRUST

Trust

$0 per query, forever. No LLM in the retrieval loop. Local-first. Zero data egress. Toggle on/off, see the diff.

Why not something else

Built for code.
Nothing else comes close.

The AI alone
Cursor · Claude Code · Copilot

It guesses from a function's name and ships the wrong call.

ArgosBrain hands it the exact signature, every time.

VS
Grep & manual review
the old way

Finds text, misses structure, and can't prove a negative.

We follow the call graph — and prove what isn't there.

VS
LLM code reviewers
the agentic scanners

An LLM's opinion about your code — non-deterministic, usually in their cloud.

Deterministic file-and-line facts, generated on your machine.

VS
Cloud code engines
Augment · Cody

They ship your code to their servers and bill per query.

We run local. $0 per query. Zero data egress.

Where we don't win — yet

The honest list.

"We win at everything" is a lie and engineers smell it instantly. Here's what we don't ship today.

In-editor UX

Cursor and Copilot ship assistance inside the editor with zero install. ArgosBrain runs as an MCP server your AI calls — one setup, every tool.

Managed cloud dashboards

Cloud-hosted scanners run on their servers with team dashboards out of the box. ArgosBrain is local-first; a hosted dashboard is on the roadmap, not shipped.

Auto-fixing your code

Some scanners will rewrite your code and commit the fix for you. ArgosBrain reports the facts and leaves the fix to you and your AI — by design. Evidence, not edits.

Free-text conceptual search

For pure-English queries like "rate limit fail open" — no symbol names, no identifiers — Grep is still the faster tool. Argos is for structural code questions; we'll point you at Grep when that's the right answer.

Live system state

Database rows, RLS policies, deploy logs, third-party API responses, runtime errors. Not our job. Use psql, provider CLIs, deploy hooks, browser devtools. We store code memory — not a proxy to production systems.

Vision / OCR / ASR ourselves

We don't ship a vision stack. Your agent's LLM interprets the file; we make sure that interpretation is remembered — linked to your codebase. One less binary, one less supply-chain surface, one less thing to audit.

Install

ArgosBrain: A Persistent, Code-Native Memory Layer for AI Coding Agents

Catalin Jibleanu et al. · April 2026 · Preprint
"Every AI coding agent in 2026 suffers from the same flaw: no persistent memory of the code it has seen. We present ArgosBrain, a Rust graph-memory engine that answers structural queries at sub-millisecond latency and $0 per query, on a new code-memory benchmark we authored (LongMemCode)."
