# Skyflo > Skyflo is the control plane for agentic engineering. It orchestrates the coding agents, models, and repositories you already use under one governed mission, keeps every approval and review on the record, and learns from each mission it completes. Skyflo Desktop runs missions on a linked Mac. Preview and Planned capabilities are omitted from this chip-less file. ## Available capability claims One objective, with state that survives the session.; A workspace is an ordered set of registered Git checkouts; one mission may span them.; Give each boundary to the right specialist.; Each coder specialist works in its own git worktree.; Plan mode blocks the turn until you approve the plan.; Code, browser, terminal, and automation in one loop.; Some engineering work should keep running after you close the mission.; Scoped; Cited; Forgettable; What one mission learns, the next one can find.; Skyflo learns from the missions it completes and keeps what the evidence supports.; A workflow proven in two repositories can become a reusable Skill once another agent or you approve it.; Skyflo can improve how it routes work, adopting a change only when it beats the current policy on past routes it was not built from.; Approvals, credentials, spending limits, and kill switches sit outside anything Skyflo can change about itself.; Every change Skyflo makes to itself is recorded with who judged it, and one Revert undoes it.; One approval policy on every runtime: external agents start at maximum-ask, and Skyflo decides who answers each request and records the decision.; An external runtime cannot start on a mission without an approved plan, and everything it is told about the mission comes from durable mission state.; External agents reach Skyflo's tools through a per-session MCP gateway, so every call passes the same policy and approval path.; Each mission keeps an append-only record on your Mac, with every event hash-linked to the one before it.; Four access modes decide who answers an agent's requests; Ask for approval is the default, and a missing or unreadable setting falls back to it.; In every access mode except Full access, external agents launch under a macOS Seatbelt profile scoped to their leased worktree and granted roots, and Skyflo refuses to launch unconfined.; Values in deterministically sensitive files, such as keys and env files, are masked before they become model-visible.; Secret-shaped values are redacted before anything is persisted, logged, projected, or reported.; Every linked Mac is listed in the account console and can be revoked, and a revoked device's access stops working.; An agent that writes nothing reviews the work.; Execution stays on your linked Mac.; Bring your own model keys. They stay in the macOS Keychain. ## Canonical pages - [Skyflo: The Control Plane for Agentic Engineering](https://skyflo.ai): Codex, Claude Code, Cursor Agent, and your models under one governed mission: plan approval, isolated worktrees, independent review, and memory that learns. - [AI Agent Orchestration for Software Engineering](https://skyflo.ai/how-it-works): How Skyflo orchestrates coding agents: an approved plan, isolated specialists, one approval policy on every runtime, independent review, and a learning loop that carries each mission into the next. - [Multi-Repo AI Coding Agents and Engineering Missions](https://skyflo.ai/missions): Skyflo coordinates AI coding agents across multiple repositories in isolated worktrees, with plan approval, independent review, and source-linked memory. - [Persistent Memory for AI Coding Agents](https://skyflo.ai/knowledge): Local, source-linked memory that learns from completed missions, turns proven workflows into Skills, and stays reviewable and revertible, so your coding agents stop starting from zero. - [Skyflo Pricing: Control Plane Plans for Teams and BYOK](https://skyflo.ai/pricing): Compare Skyflo plans from Free to Enterprise.
