Argus Deck standing in its dock on a wooden desk beside a laptop. Its lock screen reads 18:06, Thursday 15 October, 4 sessions need you.

A desk board for AI coding agents

Your agent has been waiting on you for 20 minutes.

Argus Deck is a small touchscreen with a row of keys that sits beside your keyboard. It follows every Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Gemini CLI session on your PC and lights up the moment one needs a yes, an answer or a look. Tap to approve, then get back to what you were doing.

3 sessions need you.

This is the board's own screen layout, running in your browser. Agents keep asking while you play.

Keys 1–5 on your keyboard are the board's keys, or click them. Tap a row to pick it and again to open it. Hold 5 to talk.

  2. 2ApproveOne tap for everyday requests. Risky ones stay in the terminal.
  3. 3DeclineSay no. The agent hears it right away.
  4. 4OpenThe request, the agent's latest reply and its diff.
  5. 5TalkHold and speak. Your words become a prompt.
  6. 6StatusWhat's waiting and what's running.

Works with

Keep your terminals. The board plugs into each agent's own hooks.

Nothing wraps your shell and nothing reads your screen. Argus Deck listens to what each agent already reports, and a button only appears on the board once it has been tested live against that agent.

  • Claude Code and Gemini CLI can't be interrupted mid-step, so Stop takes effect at their next tool call. A prompt sent while they work arrives when the turn ends; an idle Claude Code session takes it straight away.
  • Codex gets full control from version 0.162, which runs its own shared server. Older versions can be approved and denied from the board.
  • OpenCode needs --port for control. Started plainly, it still shows up on the board.

One tap for the everyday ones. The risky ones go back to the terminal.

Test runs, file edits and restarts take a single tap. A force push, a recursive delete, a download piped into a shell or a write to .env is high risk, so the board leaves it to the terminal, where you can read every character first. The same goes for a command too long to show in full.

See what this turn changed.

The diff is a key away, measured from the commit the turn started on, so work the agent already committed is still there to review. Page through it a screen at a time, 93 columns wide, or swipe to the next file.

Hold to talk.

Hold the Talk key and say what you want next. Your PC turns speech into text as you speak, with Whisper or Parakeet running locally, and the words land in a prompt field. Nothing reaches the agent until you press Send.

Also add a test for the 429 case.

Prompt

  • Answer its questions

    When Claude Code or OpenCode asks which way to go, the choices are on the board. Tap one.

  • Stop it

    Stop ends a turn that's heading the wrong way. Claude Code and Gemini CLI stop at their next step.

  • Start a session

    Pick a project, give it a first prompt and press the key. Claude Code opens in a new terminal on your PC.

  • Read it from across the room

    Locked, the board still says how many sessions need you. A glance is enough.

Setup

Install. Connect your agents. Pair once.

No config files to edit, and you keep starting your agents the way you always have.

  1. STEP 1

    Install it on your PC

    Argus Deck runs in the background on Windows and can start when you sign in.

  2. STEP 2

    Connect your agents

    One click per agent. Argus Deck adds its own hook or plugin and nothing else, and takes it out just as cleanly.

  3. STEP 3

    Pair the board

    Type the six-digit code your PC shows. The board remembers your PC's certificate, and the link between them is encrypted from then on.
