Simulated first run · what setup verifies on your Mac
Six parts, one install.
Everything below is in the free plan. Paid plans change capacity, not which of these you get.
Mission engine
The six-state loop, from discovery through what gets remembered. State is written to disk, so a restart or a model swap does not end the mission.
state persisted on disk
Specialist agents
An orchestrator, focused specialists in isolated worktrees, and a read-only reviewer.
bounded role capabilities
Execution surfaces
Code, browser, terminal, monitors, and automations remain attached to the same mission.
one local mission loop
Engineering knowledge
Accepted, source-linked personal memory that a later mission can retrieve and review.
scoped · cited · forgettable
Project instructions
Repository-specific conventions, runbooks, and guardrails that specialists can load for the work in scope.
carried across surfaces
Independent review
A separate profile can read files, search, and report without mutation authority.
mutationAllowed: false
Three model-access lanes.
Use an installed harness or a supported provider key. Managed model access is not available yet.
How the orchestrator routes work between modelslane 1
Existing harness access
Use a supported coding harness already installed and signed in on your Mac.
provider-direct lane
lane 2
Supported provider keys
Add a Moonshot or Z.ai key. Skyflo keeps it in your macOS Keychain.
provider-direct lane
lane 3
Managed inference
A separately metered model catalogue for eligible paid plans.
managed lane
Key custody: BYOK credentials stay in the macOS Keychain. Provider-direct lanes use your provider account. Managed inference is metered separately.
Install to first review report.
Register the checkouts, hand over one objective, approve the plan, and read what comes back.
- 1
Connect
Register the Git checkouts the objective touches. The mission opens read-only.
- 2
Give the objective
One sentence. Discovery reads the registered checkouts it reaches and drafts one plan across them.
- 3
Approve the plan
Plan mode blocks the turn. Nothing is implemented until you approve the boundary.
- 4
Read the report
A review report from an agent that cannot edit, plus the memory records the mission proposes.
❯skyflo workspace add ./checkout-api ./checkout-worker
✓ 2 checkouts registered (read-only)
❯skyflo mission new "move checkout workloads to arm64"
▸ discover: 2 checkouts in scope · plan drafted
▸ plan mode: blocked, waiting on you
❯skyflo approve arm-042
▸ 2 specialists delegated · isolated worktrees ready…
❯skyflo status
✓ review report attached · 3 memory candidates waiting
Four steps to a first mission.
What each step needs, in order, from the current Desktop build to a bounded mission on your Mac.
01Download
Choose the build for your Mac and unpack Skyflo Desktop.
02Install
Move Skyflo to Applications, open it, and complete one-time activation with a free Skyflo account.
03Check access
Skyflo finds supported signed-in harnesses automatically. Add a Moonshot or Z.ai key only if you need one.
04Run
Start a bounded local mission and read the work and review report it produces.
Availability
Have ready
- A signed-in supported harness or supported provider key
- The registered Git checkouts your first objective touches
- One bounded objective for the first local mission

The digest it prints must match the one listed above for your architecture. If it does not, delete the file and download it again rather than opening it.
First run
- 1
Open the download
Double-click the .dmg in Finder to open the Skyflo installer.
- 2
Move it to Applications
Drag Skyflo into the Applications folder in the installer window. Once it finishes copying, eject the installer.
- 3
Open it
Open Skyflo from Applications. The app is signed and notarized. Confirm Open if macOS asks whether to open an app downloaded from the internet.
- 4
Activate, then check model access
Activate the installation once with a free Skyflo account. Skyflo then checks supported harnesses already signed in on this Mac and selects the first ready one. If none is ready, add a supported Moonshot or Z.ai key. After activation, local work can continue while signed out.
