Vigil Client Agent Uptime Deployment (5-7 days)
A managed rollout that installs Vigil on a client's macOS developer fleet, wires lifecycle hooks into their AI coding agents, and hands over a monitored sleep-hold policy so unattended agent runs stop dying mid-task.
- Client developers run AI coding agents on macOS 14 or later; Vigil has no Windows or Linux build, so confirm the fleet before quoting
- Inventory of which agents the client uses from the supported set: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, pi, OpenCode
- One Vigil license key per two Macs at $3.99 one-time, purchased before install day
- Written client sign-off on the grace period (how long an agent may wait for input before the sleep hold releases)
- Admin access to each developer's agent config directory so lifecycle hooks can be registered
- 1.Audit each client Mac for OS version and confirm macOS 14 or later
- 2.Record which supported agents are installed per developer (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, pi, OpenCode)
- 3.Flag any Windows or Linux machines and exclude them from the Vigil scope in writing
- 1.Purchase license keys at $3.99 each, one key covering two Macs
- 2.Install Vigil from the menu bar and activate the first key on two pilot machines
- 3.Verify the menu bar dashboard renders active session state before touching hooks
- 1.Register Vigil lifecycle hooks in the pilot developer's primary agent
- 2.Run a short agent task and confirm the menu bar shows working, waiting, and idle transitions
- 3.Confirm no session data leaves the Mac during the test run
- 1.Set the configurable grace period to match the client's expected input-wait window
- 2.Test the timeout path by leaving an agent waiting past the grace period and confirming the hold releases
- 3.Test the failure path by killing an agent mid-run and confirming the hold releases
- 1.Roll hooks out to the remaining supported agents across the fleet
- 2.Activate remaining license keys, two Macs per key
- 3.Verify multi-session tracking and sub-agent following on a machine running two agents at once
- 1.Write the client's hook configuration and grace period values into a handover doc
- 2.Train developers on reading the menu bar dashboard and spotting a stuck session
- 3.Agree the escalation path for agents that wait too long and release the hold unexpectedly
- 1.Run a full unattended overnight agent task on one machine as acceptance test
- 2.Review the 30-day refund window terms with the client in case fleet fit is wrong
- 3.Close out with the definition-of-done check and schedule a 30-day review
The software line is trivial: $3.99 one-time per two Macs, so a 10-Mac client fleet costs under $20 in licenses. The agency margin sits entirely in the deployment, hook configuration, and handover work, which is why this prices as a fixed-fee engagement rather than a resold subscription. Because Vigil is a one-time purchase with a 30-day refund, there is no recurring vendor cost eating into the retainer.
- Per-developer hook configuration sheet listing which agent triggers Vigil and the grace period applied
- Fleet activation record mapping each $3.99 license key to its two Macs
- Grace period and timeout policy document signed by the client
- Menu bar monitoring runbook for developers covering working, waiting, and idle states
- Overnight unattended-run acceptance test result
Every in-scope macOS developer machine has Vigil active with hooks firing on their primary agent, and one unattended overnight agent run completes without the Mac sleeping mid-task.
