Getting Started
This is the simplest place to begin. Pick the persona that matches you, follow the exact setup steps, and run one real Sigillum flow through the hosted path.
Step 1: Pick the path that matches you
Sigillum has three beginner-friendly starting paths. You do not need to learn all of them at once.
- GitHub maintainer: you want pull requests checked automatically inside GitHub.
- AI-native indie builder: you want to run `quote` and `inspect` from your own computer with the hosted CLI.
- Autonomous agent: you have an outside script or agent runtime that should call Sigillum and act on the returned decision.
Step 2: Prepare the few things every live setup needs
All live Sigillum paths use the hosted service at `https://usesigillum.vercel.app`. Quote can be free to request, but inspect is a paid x402 flow, so the paying side must be ready before you expect a real receipt.
- A repository or diff you want Sigillum to inspect.
- A funded buyer-side x402 setup for paid `inspect` calls.
- An Arc testnet RPC URL.
- Enough Gateway balance to pay for at least one inspection.
Step 3: Follow the exact guide for your persona
Use only one of the guides below for your first run. Each guide is written to be followed step by step.
- GitHub maintainer guide: `/docs/github-maintainer`
- AI-native indie builder guide: `/docs/ai-native-indie-builder`
- Autonomous agent guide: `/docs/autonomous-agent`
Step 4: Know what success looks like
A successful live Sigillum run does more than print text. It creates proof you can open and verify.
- You receive a `quote_id` before paying.
- The paid inspect returns a `receipt_id` and `receipt_url`.
- The result includes `recommendation`, `risk_score`, and `agent_decision`.
- The receipt opens in the browser and the same action appears on the live dashboard.
