vigie /vi.ʒi/

Eyes on the horizon.

— the lookout in the crow’s nest

Local-first supervision for AI coding agents. See every file, command, and dollar in real time — with drift detection, cost guardrails, and checkpoints. On your machine, no cloud.

Total visibility

Watch every move your agent makes

vigie spawns your agent in a PTY and streams every event to a live dashboard — file reads and edits, shell commands, tokens, context, and cost. The moment it loops or drifts off scope, you see it.

file edits & commands a live activity feed
tokens & context % a gauge, before it forgets
running cost a counter, and budget stops
edit → test → fail loops a flag, and a way out

Why vigie

Everything you need to keep an agent honest

Real-time activity

Every file read, edit, and shell command — streamed live as your agent works.

Loop detection

vigie spots edit → test → fail cycles and suggests a prompt to break out.

Scope drift

Get flagged the moment the agent touches files outside the task you declared.

Context & cost guardrails

A live context gauge, a running cost counter, and budgets that pause the session.

Checkpoints & rollback

Approval gates snapshot your project. Roll back to a clean state in one move.

Multi-agent

Supervise many concurrent sessions, each with its own activity stream.

Bring your own AI

No token markup, ever. Pay your provider directly — vigie never sits in the middle.

Local-first

One Bun daemon, a SQLite file at ~/.vigie. No servers, no telemetry, no cloud.

Local-first

Your machine. Your data. Your rules.

vigie is a single Bun process. It serves the dashboard on localhost, talks to the CLI over a Unix socket, and stores everything in SQLite at ~/.vigie. Nothing leaves your machine — no telemetry, no sync, no remote servers.

~/project

# install (private beta)
curl -fsSL https://vigie.tmonier.com/install.sh | sh

# start the local daemon
vigie daemon start

# open the dashboard → localhost:19191
vigie open

# run an agent under supervision
vigie claude

Start the daemon and open the board — that’s the whole setup.

localhost:19191

The dashboard, served by the daemon — never exposed.

~/.vigie/data.db

Sessions, output, and history in one local SQLite file.

BYOA

Your AI subscription, billed by your provider. Zero middlemen.
