What an area is
An area is a part of your work that Skyflo looks after, such as hiring, finance or customers. Each area has goals, a playbook, your rules and an authority setting. Work from your missions, mail and calendar that belongs to an area runs there.
Add an area
Choose New area under Areas in the sidebar, type the Area name and choose Add. During setup on Home, Skyflo can also suggest areas from your recent work; choose Add area to write your own, then Create area.
Open an area to see and edit its Goals, Playbook, Your rules and Authority. Use Add goal to give it something to work toward and Add rule for a rule agents must follow, for example "Never email customers without my review".
The folder and its playbook
Every area is a folder on your Mac under ~/Skyflo, named after the area. Its AGENTS.md holds the playbook, the area's rules and its authority, and agents that work there read it first. A CLAUDE.md points to the same file, and goals.md, journal.md and a playbook folder keep the rest.
Agents keep the playbook current as they learn how the area works. Choose Playbook history on the area page to see each change and undo one. You can edit the files yourself; Skyflo reads your edits back.
Work that belongs to no area runs in the General folder, ~/Skyflo/General.
Limits agents cannot change
The Authority block in AGENTS.md is locked. Skyflo keeps that section, and any edit to it is undone. It records:
- Mode: Prepares (drafts and asks first) or Acts (acts, then tells you).
- Daily limit: how many missions Skyflo may start in the area each day, from 1 to 20.
- Folders: the primary folder and any folders you add.
- Agent: the agent area missions use.
Your rules sit in their own block. Agents may add to them but never remove or soften one.
Authority grows with approval
Skyflo can start an area's missions on its own, up to the daily limit, and report afterwards. A new area starts on Prepares: its missions draft the work and ask before anything goes out, using your usual approval mode.
Once you have approved work that Skyflo prepared in an area, it can offer more. The offer arrives in Needs you, titled with the area and "let Skyflo act on its own?", with Let Skyflo act and Keep preparing. On Acts, the area's missions run with Full access and Skyflo tells you afterwards. Your daily limit, folders and rules stay in place. Switch Mode back to Prepares on the area page at any time.
Suggesting areas, keeping playbooks and deciding what to start use your Moonshot or Z.ai key when you have added one, and otherwise Skyflo's included models on a paid plan.
