Connect your agent

Coding agents and the CLI

Coding agents run on your machine, so they connect through the SaveSlot command-line tool. One command installs it, signs you in once in the browser, and sets up every coding agent it finds.

Install and set up#

npm install -g @fluxvita/saveslot && saveslot setup --profile cloud

• Needs Node 24 or later.
• setup opens your browser so you can sign in to SaveSlot once.
• It then runs each agent's own add command. It does not edit their configuration files.
• Signing in is not the same as granting access: each agent still asks you to approve it, the same way as on the web. See Approving a connection.

No browser on that machine#

Over SSH, or on a machine without a browser, sign in with a device code:

saveslot login --device

The terminal prints a short code and an address. Open app.saveslot.ai/device on any device where you are signed in, enter the code, and confirm.

Instructions for your agent#

Some agents work better with a short note about SaveSlot in their instructions file. The CLI prints one for each host:

saveslot snippet claude-code

Paste the output into the agent's instructions, for example CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md.

Commands#

The full command reference, including self-hosted profiles, is in the GitHub repository.

Project Keeper#

If you code with more than one agent, install the Project Keeper extension. Every coding agent reads the decisions in force, open tasks and the latest handoff before it starts, and writes a handoff when it ends. See Extensions.
