Question 1

What is VibeControls?

Accepted Answer

VibeControls is a unified Agentic Engineering Mission Control that orchestrates the environments, terminal sessions, agents, AI tools, and operational workflows a developer or team uses every day — across local, remote, and cloud machines — from a single workspace-native interface. It is built and operated by Algoshred Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

Question 2

Who is VibeControls for?

Accepted Answer

VibeControls serves individual power users (full-stack, backend, DevOps engineers), development teams needing shared environments and onboarding consistency, DevOps and platform engineers managing fleets of servers, freelancers and consultants switching across many client projects, educators teaching modern dev workflows, and research or HPC teams coordinating long-running sessions on shared compute.

Question 3

What is an Agent in VibeControls?

Accepted Answer

An Agent is a lightweight runtime installed on a target machine (your laptop, a VM, a remote server, or a container host). The agent runs locally, owns plugin execution, manages terminal sessions, and exposes a secure API for the web app, CLI, and SDKs. Agents register themselves with your workspace and report health continuously.

Question 4

What is a Vibe in VibeControls?

Accepted Answer

A Vibe is a project context — a workspace-scoped grouping of related work. A vibe maps to a folder on a target, can nest under a parent vibe, and carries metadata: git remote, environment variables, tags, notes, attached docs, and operational tooling. Vibes are where your sessions, scripts, schedules, and documentation live.

Question 5

How does VibeControls handle AI?

Accepted Answer

VibeControls treats AI as a first-class workflow, not a bolted-on chat panel. It supports many providers behind one interface — Anthropic Claude, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Google Gemini, Aider, Sourcegraph Amp, Charm Crush, Block Goose, Plandex, Pi, OpenCode, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It is BYOK by design — VibeControls does not resell inference, you bring your own API key, and your prompts never become someone else training data.

Question 6

What surfaces and clients does VibeControls support?

Accepted Answer

VibeControls is API-first. Every capability is reachable from: Web app (full product), CLI (terminal-native automation), Browser extension (Chrome MV3), VS Code extension, MCP server (for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible AI agent), Node.js SDK, and Python SDK.

Question 7

How does the plugin system work?

Accepted Answer

Plugins follow a strict three-tier model. The agent never talks directly to a concrete tool — it goes through a meta plugin (owning the interface contract), which delegates to a provider plugin (implementing the contract for a specific backend like tmux, wezterm, Cloudflare, Claude, etc.). Standalone tool plugins sit alongside this hierarchy for capabilities that do not need an interface abstraction (SSH, git, code-server, backup, etc.).

Question 8

What editions are available?

Accepted Answer

VibeControls offers Individual and Enterprise editions. Pricing is quota-based, regionally fair, BYOK on AI, with a generous free tier and no feature gating. Self-hosted, single-tenant, and SaaS options are available.

Question 9

How does VibeControls handle security and audit?

Accepted Answer

VibeControls inherits enterprise-grade RBAC, multi-tenancy, audit, and governance from the Burdenoff platform. Every operation is RBAC-checked and every mutation is captured in an immutable 7-year audit log, which feeds our in-flight SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence-gathering program. SIEM streaming export is planned.

Question 10

Is VibeControls self-hostable?

Accepted Answer

Self-hosting and dedicated single-tenant deployments are an Enterprise-edition option for organisations with strict data-residency, air-gapped, or regulatory requirements. SaaS (multi-tenant, run by Burdenoff) is the default for individuals, hobby, and team plans.
