Mission Control for Coding Agents

Let AI agents keep working while you step away. Approve risky actions from your phone, set safety policies, and dispatch instructions remotely.

Quick Start

How It Works

Three steps to supervised autonomy for your coding agents.

1

Install

Add @askance/cli to your project. Run npx askance init to configure hooks and policies.

2

Configure Policy

Manage rules via the dashboard — auto-approve safe operations, gate risky ones, deny dangerous commands.

3

Approve from Anywhere

Open the dashboard on any device. Approve, deny, or send instructions to your agent remotely.

Everything You Need

Keep full control without micromanaging. Askance watches so you don't have to.

Approve from Anywhere

Phone, tablet, or desktop — approve risky actions without being at your desk.

Policy Engine

Dashboard-managed rules auto-approve safe actions and gate risky ones.

Multi-Project View

Monitor up to 4 coding agent sessions simultaneously in a grid layout.

Remote Dispatch

Send instructions to your agent from the dashboard — redirect, refocus, or adjust priorities.

Audit Trail

Full history of every tool call, decision, and policy match with timestamps.

Real-time Sync

SignalR-powered live updates across all connected devices and dashboard tabs.

Smart Auto-Approve

Learn from your approvals — one click to create rules that auto-approve trusted patterns.

Safety Policies

Block dangerous patterns like rm -rf, force pushes, or credential access by default.
