argot
Argot is a Rust-based CLI tool that acts as a statistical code analyzer built from a project's own repository history. Instead of using another LLM, it leverages AST patterns and commit history to determine whether new code belongs in the codebase. It flags foreign imports, superseded patterns, misplaced layering, and other deviations that type checkers and standard linters would miss. Designed as a harness for AI-written code, it runs locally, checks diffs in ~200ms, and integrates into developer workflows to maintain code consistency.
