How to use Vibe Service Guardian: what you can do with it

What is Vibe Service Guardian? Vibe Service Guardian is a local-first Python tool that links listening services to their project and agent, flags stale dev servers, monitors local AI runtimes, and estimates which open-weight models a machine can run.

How do I use it? Create a virtual environment with python -m venv .venv and install the runtime from requirements-lock as described in the README source-run section; then start the console with python -m vsg --open and open the services monitor; open a service detail and compare its project, agent or terminal attribution, and the listed evidence. Full steps below.

3 use cases

  • Find which project owns a stale dev server and stop it safely

    Trace a listening port to its project and agent, then stop only ordinary host dev processes after confirmation.

    View prompt
    Using the repo keith-yan/vibe-service-guardian, run `python -m vsg --open` and inspect the service on port <port>. Report its PID, project attribution, and the stale-check evidence. Verify that you do not stop anything unless the service is an ordinary host dev process and the user has typed the stop confirmation.

  • Check whether an open-weight model fits your machine before you download it

    Compare physical load limits, practical limits, and target SLA limits for a planned user count and concurrency.

    View prompt
    Using keith-yan/vibe-service-guardian, open the model capacity page with `python -m vsg --open`, enter the plan for <number of users> users at <peak concurrency> concurrency, and report the physical, practical, and target SLA ceilings for <model name>. Verify that each figure lists its risk reasons and that the result is treated as an estimate until a local benchmark is run.

  • Run the guardian as a portable Windows app from a zip file

    Build a portable Windows x64 zip from the source folder and start or stop the console with included launchers.

    View prompt
    Using the repo keith-yte/vibe-service-guardian, run `Build-Portable.cmd` in the source folder at <source path>, then confirm the zip <zip file name> exists with a matching `.sha256` file. Verify that the console starts through `Start-VSG.cmd` and stops through `Stop-VSG.cmd`.
