# /argus-mode:run — the Argus Mode pipeline
The `${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/references/` files are the source of truth: on
any conflict between a summary in this file and a reference file, the
reference wins.
**Cost, up front:** a medium task pays the git ceremony (issue + isolated worktree branch + draft PR), at least one `argus-oracle` (opus) plan-review run — more on revise cycles — and an `argus-reviewer` review-gate run. Do **not** invoke this for a trivial lookup or anything the Stage 1 triviality hatch covers (≤3 changed lines AND one file AND no public-API or behavior change AND no new test warranted — a bugfix never qualifies) — handle those directly instead.
## Agent availability check
Before Stage 0, check whether `argus-oracle`, `argus-explorer`, `argus-implementer`, and `argus-reviewer` exist as spawnable agents (true on a Claude Code plugin install; not true on a skills-only install, e.g. `npx skills add`).
- Any missing → **announce which agents are absent now**, plainly. That direct announcement is the floor — it covers the read-only route (which prints no table) and a skills-only install (where the preflight's `pipeline.md` spec is unreachable). On the full pipeline the same modes are re-shown alongside the environment capabilities when the run's shape is **announced in the capability preflight** at intake (`pipeline.md`, Capability preflight). Never a silent degrade.
- **Scope each degrade to the agent that is actually missing.** No `argus-oracle` → Stage 2.
