Aegis runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 70 installs a week from pypi.
Charter-bound defensive security copilot: secrets, obfuscation, deps, Dockerfile, IaC scans.
The linked repository no longer exists on GitHub — it was deleted or made private.
This one has been quiet for a while
Quiet is not dead — but it is worth knowing when it wakes up, or when someone else takes it over. We watch the repository and tell you either way.

}This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
AEGIS_HOME (Project root containing data/mythos.yaml. Defaults to current working directory.), ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Optional. Only needed if you call the `aegis advise` cloud LLM path.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
