| Primary unit of work | A Devin session or task. | A mission: one goal with its conversation, the agents working on it, their approvals, and its record. It persists across sessions and goes idle rather than closing. |
|---|
| Execution environment | Cloud machines started from snapshots, Devin Desktop and Devin CLI on your machine, and Outposts on your own infrastructure. | Agents run on your Mac by default. On a paid plan you can start or move a mission to Skyflo Cloud, a machine Skyflo runs for that mission, which keeps working while your Mac sleeps. Only Codex and Skyflo's own agent run there; Claude Code stays on your Mac. A mission started there from a GitHub repository opens a pull request. |
|---|
| Agent and model choice | Devin mixes models from several providers, a coordinator distributes work to managed Devins, and Devin Desktop runs third-party agents such as Codex CLI, Claude Agent, OpenCode, Junie, and Gemini CLI over ACP on Pro, Max, and Teams. | Skyflo's own agent plus seven external agents: Codex, Claude Code, Cursor Agent, Antigravity, Grok CLI, OpenCode, and Pi, and one custom ACP agent added through a manifest file. External agents use their own sign-in and models; Skyflo's own agent uses included models on paid plans or your Moonshot or Z.ai key. Orchestrate runs several on one mission and can pick the lead. |
|---|
| Cross-repository coordination | Configured repositories can coexist on the same machine snapshot. | A workspace is an ordered set of up to eight registered Git checkouts, and one mission can span them. In Skyflo Cloud a mission spans one to five. Each writing specialist works in its own worktree, so edits stay apart while the work runs; integrating them is still a change you review. |
|---|
| Approval and mutation boundaries | Devin Local has a read-only Plan mode that asks for approval before implementing, and Deny, Ask, and Allow rules for file reads, writes, commands, fetches, and MCP tools. With a third-party ACP agent, Devin Desktop delegates all agent operations to that agent. | One access mode governs every agent on a mission, Skyflo's own and the external ones. Skyflo answers each agent's permission requests by that mode and records the decision. In Full access, the default for a new Auto mission, prompts are off and folder confinement is lifted. Orchestrate starts at Ask for approval, and Plan mode waits for you to approve the plan. |
|---|
| Independent review | Devin Review is a code review platform for pull requests on GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps. | In Orchestrate missions, Skyflo adds a separate reviewer by strategy and risk, and Skyflo's own agent can start one. The reviewer can read, search, ask, and report, but cannot edit files. Not every mission is reviewed, and a review is a second opinion, not a guarantee. |
|---|
| Browser, terminal, and automation evidence | The cloud environment includes a shell, an embedded IDE, and a browser, and Devin sends video recordings of its tests as proof. | Code, browser, terminal, and automations share one workspace, where you and Skyflo's own agent work in the same browser and terminal. Each mission keeps an append-only record on your Mac of approvals, Skyflo tool calls, including external agents' calls through Skyflo's tools, and review findings, every event hash-linked to the one before it. |
|---|
| Cross-mission memory, provenance, and user control | Devin Memory, launched October 5, 2026, keeps personal notes in a Git-backed drive, each linked to the session it came from and tidied daily by Dreaming. You can browse it, ask Devin to forget, or turn it off. Knowledge is deprecated and moving to Skills. | Personal memory stored on your Mac, learned from finished missions with a link to its source. Skyflo keeps a memory when the evidence supports it; otherwise it waits for you to keep, correct, or dismiss it, and you can remove any memory later. A workflow verified in two repositories can become a Skill once you or an independent agent approves it. Reverting a Skill or a routing change alters what Skyflo does next, not past work. |
