# Welcome

Vigil is a 24/7 AI trading agent. Tell it your plan once — it watches, acts, and reports while you live your life.

## What you'll find here

This is the official documentation for Vigil. It covers what Vigil is, how it works, and how to use it during the Closed Beta.

* [**About Vigil**](/vigil-docs/about-vigil/what-is-vigil.md) — why we built an agent that never sleeps
* [**What Vigil Can Do**](/vigil-docs/about-vigil/what-vigil-can-do.md) — every trigger, action and guardrail, in one place
* [**Closed Beta Guide**](/vigil-docs/closed-beta-guide/about-the-closed-beta.md) — how to get in, write your first plan, and stay in control
* [**Token**](/vigil-docs/token/token-overview.md) — how the upcoming token powers access: 100 USDT worth per month, 90% burned
* [**Sentinel Program**](/vigil-docs/sentinel-program/about-the-sentinel-program.md) — our ambassador program for traders and creators
* [**Community & Links**](/vigil-docs/community-and-links/community-and-links.md) — where to find us and talk to the team

## How Vigil thinks

Every plan in Vigil follows the same loop:

1. **Say it** — write your plan in plain words
2. **It watches** — prices, listings, wallets and volume, 24/7
3. **It acts** — only inside the limits you set, or after you confirm
4. **It reports** — every fill, skip and pause is logged with the reason

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Closed Beta is invite-only**

Access opens in waves. If you have an invite, go to [Quick Start](/vigil-docs/closed-beta-guide/quick-start.md). If not, see [How to Join](/vigil-docs/closed-beta-guide/how-to-join.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Beta software.** Vigil is in active development. Features and availability may change. Trading involves risk, and nothing here is financial advice. Read the [Beta Disclaimer](/vigil-docs/community-and-links/beta-disclaimer.md) before using real funds.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://vigil-1.gitbook.io/vigil-docs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
