Ask where you work. It acts with your permissions.

The controller is the one agent every signed-in person on a Viberr instance can talk to. It answers questions about your projects, carries out what you ask within exactly your own permissions, and plans work into epics.

On a board it offers to ask
  • What's waiting on me, and what's waiting on an agent?
  • Which tasks have been open longest, and why?
  • Draft a task this board is missing, but don't create it.

Get startedRead the controller docs

It runs on your own Claude account. It has no tool to merge or to accept.

It starts from the page you are on

Open the dock and the controller is already bound to what you are looking at. Each turn begins with a read of that place, which the server takes as the turn starts.

A task

On a task's page the dock is anchored to that task. Every turn opens with a fresh read of the task's own file, beside its stage, its owner, the agents engaged on it, its branch and pull request, and whatever it is waiting on.

A board

On a project's other views the dock is bound to the board. It reads the stages and the boundaries between them, the members, the open tasks and the open epics with their progress. The project also has a Controller page of its own, fourth in the rail, and that page has no dock.

The instance

On the other pages that carry the dock it speaks for the whole instance: the projects you can see, your role in each and what is happening there. The instance has a Controller page of its own too, at /controller.

How a turn reads its place

It can do what you can, and no more

The controller has no authority of its own. A change it makes on a board passes the same role checks as the page you would have made it on: a contributor's controller can file a task, and starting an agent on one takes a maintainer. When the server refuses, the controller tells you so. Every write is audited under your name with the controller named as the instrument, and a comment it posts for you says it was posted for you.

What it has no tool for

Merging a pull request, accepting a completion, answering a decision packet and moving a task into the final stage are not in its toolkit. Ask for that last move and it points you to the task page. It has no tool that deletes a project, a task or a user.

The controller's toolkit

It plans work into epics

Describe an outcome and the controller can lay it out as an epic: a named body of work inside one project, with the tasks that belong to it. Each task says what it waits on, and Viberr starts it when that work is done. The epic itself orders nothing and holds nothing back. Its status is yours to set, and its progress is counted from its tasks.

A next step for when a task is accepted

The controller can leave a conversation its next step for the moment a task is accepted. Viberr then starts that turn itself, as the person who asked.

How epics work

What holds in every conversation

It runs on your own Claude account

A turn uses the Claude account of the person who asked. The instance has no account of its own, so a colleague who has not connected Claude never stops you from asking.

Your conversations stay yours

A conversation belongs to whoever started it. A project's other members cannot read it, though an org admin can. Viberr never deletes one on its own.

You can steer a turn while it works

Send a message while the controller is working and it joins the turn at its next step. Queue it and it is answered in a turn of its own.

Tell it what you want done

On a running instance the controller's round button sits at the bottom right of a board, a task's page and most other pages. The sign-in page, your profile and your notifications have none, and neither do the two Controller pages. Open it and ask in your own words. The documentation's own example:

create a task on WEB to add rate limiting to the login form

WEB is a project's key. The task the controller creates gets an operator of its own, like any other task. More about the agents
