Sirloop

Docs

Getting started

Install Sirloop on Windows, activate your license with one click, and take a first tour of the dashboard.

Sirloop is self-hosted: one installer puts the orchestrator, the dashboard, and the HTTP API on your own machine — no cloud account, no browser round-trips, nothing leaves your box. This guide takes you from download to a running dashboard in a few minutes.

What you'll need

  • A Windows PC (macOS and Linux installers are coming soon — contact sales if you need early access).
  • Your welcome email — it contains the installer download link and your license key.
  • At least one coding agent CLI that Sirloop can drive (for example Claude Code, Codex, or opencode). If it's on your PATH, Sirloop finds it automatically — no configuration needed.

Install

  1. Download Sirloop-Setup.msi from the link in your welcome email and run it. The installer is self-contained: everything Sirloop depends on ships inside it, so there is no Python to install, no package manager, and no build step.
  2. Launch Sirloop from the Start menu. On first launch it asks for your license key — paste the key from your welcome email and click Activate. That is the whole activation flow: no account signup.
  3. Sirloop starts the orchestrator and opens the dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:8080. Keep this address handy — it is also the HTTP API every other surface (the CLI, extensions, the mobile bridge) talks to.

A one-minute tour of the dashboard

The dashboard is the control tower. Three things are worth finding on your first visit:

  • Agents (left) — one card per coding agent Sirloop can see, grouped by project workspace, with a status badge (working / idle / paused) and the working directory each agent lives in. Adopt an existing CLI session here to watch it without starting anything new.
  • Storyboard and composer (center) — the composer is where you dispatch a run: pick a target (a new agent run, an existing session, or a flow), write a prompt, press Send. The storyboard above it shows your projects as plan → task tiles → goal strips that update live.
  • Connection pill (header) — every page talks to the orchestrator over a live event stream. When the pill says live, everything you see is current; if it ever says reconnecting…, the view catches up on its own.

Events stream in as they happen — tool calls, runs starting and finishing, guardrail decisions — and flows and schedules are managed from the same place.

Troubleshooting

  • The dashboard didn't open. Sirloop serves it at http://127.0.0.1:8080 only — open that address manually in a browser on the same machine. It is not reachable from other computers by design.
  • Windows Firewall prompted during install. Allow it: Sirloop needs local loopback access for the dashboard and API. It does not open your machine to the network.
  • Your license key is rejected. Double-check you pasted the whole key from the welcome email (no clipped characters). If it still fails, contact sales with the email you purchased with.
  • No agents show up. Sirloop drives the coding agent CLIs it finds on your machine. Install one (for example Claude Code), make sure it is on your PATH, and restart Sirloop.

Next steps

  • Dispatch your first agent run — from the dashboard and from the command line — in the first-run tutorial.
  • Every surface you just saw speaks one JSON API. Skim the HTTP API reference when you're ready to script it.
