Install the GitHub App

One-click install of the Artemis AI Footprint Scanner GitHub App, with permission walkthrough.

Install the App

  1. Go to github.com/apps/argus-ai-footprint-scanner.
  2. Click Install.
  3. Choose the organisation or user account you want to install on.
  4. Pick repositories — All repositories or Only select repositories. Read-only access to code is required; no write permissions are requested.
  5. Click Install.

The Scanner is now active. It runs automatically on every pull request to the repos you authorised.

Permissions explained

The App requests:

  • Read access to code — required to parse Python files for AST analysis.
  • Write access to PR comments — required to post findings as a comment.
  • Read access to metadata — required to identify the PR diff.

It does not request:

  • Access to private secrets, environment variables, or workflow runs
  • Write access to code or the ability to push commits
  • Access to billing or organisation settings

Verify it’s working

Open any PR after install. Within ~30 seconds you should see a comment from argus-bot summarising findings (or an “all clear” comment if no AI/ML imports were detected).

If nothing appears after 2 minutes, see Troubleshooting.
