Getting started

Install vigie, start the daemon, and open the dashboard.

vigie is a local-first AI agent supervisor for software engineers. Real-time visibility into your AI coding agents — loop detection, scope drift warnings, token cost guardrails, and checkpoints you can roll back to. Everything runs on your machine; nothing leaves it.

Install

curl -fsSL https://vigie.tmonier.com/install.sh | sh

Requirements: macOS or Linux (Windows via WSL), git, and an agent CLI (Claude Code at launch).

Start the daemon

vigie daemon start

The daemon starts in the background and serves the dashboard at localhost:19191. To run in the foreground (useful for debugging):

vigie daemon start --fg

Open the dashboard

vigie open

This opens your browser to localhost:19191 and shows every active and past session — status, activity, signals, and live cost.

Run an agent under supervision

Start Claude Code:

vigie claude

Or run a one-shot prompt:

vigie claude -p "Write a test for the login flow"

Watch the session appear in the dashboard in real-time.

• The dashboard — real-time session supervision
• Supervision signals — loop detection, scope drift, and cost guardrails
