It distills, detects, +correlates, and explains problems across your full deployment chain — +Kubernetes, Docker, AWS, Vercel, Supabase, Railway, OpenTelemetry, and more — +so you stay out of debug rabbit holes. Powered by Möbius agents, an MCP server, +and the Dstl8 CLI, that context streams back into Claude Code, Cursor, and the +rest of your dev flow. + +- Website — **[dstl8.ai](https://dstl8.ai)** · [controltheory.com](https://www.controltheory.com) +- Documentation — **[docs.controltheory.com](https://docs.controltheory.com/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs)** +- Dstl8 CLI — **[github.com/control-theory/dstl8](https://github.com/control-theory/dstl8)** + +## Getting started + +New to Dstl8?

That's what this repo installs: + +| Platform | What it deploys | +|----------|-----------------| +| **Kubernetes** | Helm charts for the aigent DaemonSet (node log collection) and cluster agent (Kubernetes events) | +| **Docker** | The `controltheory/aigent` container, wired to the Docker socket and host logs | + +The installer is driven by tokens and endpoints that Dstl8 generates for you. +The easiest path is to **add a Kubernetes or Docker source in the +[Dstl8 app](https://dstl8.ai)** — it hands you the exact `curl … | bash` +command, pre-filled, to paste into your terminal. See the +[installation docs](https://docs.controltheory.com/controltheory-documentation/dstl8-docs) +for details. + + +## Contributing + +These scripts are published from this repo via GitHub Pages.
