Agent orchestration
One goal becomes a board of scoped, dependency-ordered cards. Agents run in parallel, each in its own Git worktree, visible in real time.
Agentic development environment
All your agents.
One mission.
Skybolt is a desktop-first, local-first IDE for AI-heavy development. Orchestrate parallel coding agents on your machines — synced to Git, visible at every step, gated by you.
Control the chaos
Machines & SSH
Run projects on your desktop or any trusted Linux/macOS box over SSH. Remote terminals, Git, and Docker that feel local.
In-app IDE
A Monaco editor over the whole working tree — git-status badges, fast search, quick edits next to your agents and terminals.
Kanban cards
Cards are the unit of agent work: goals, acceptance criteria, file scope, and approvals — merges gated behind you.
Sealed sync
Project state seals into an AES-256-GCM artifact that travels with your repo. skybolt.ai holds no decryption material, ever.
Local by default
Source, secrets, terminal bytes, and chat bodies stay on your machines. The cloud is optional — never required for solo work.
Operating principles
Local by default
- source.sync
- local — repos and diffs never leave your machines by default
- secrets.store
- references only — real credentials live in OS keychains and ssh-agent
- runtime.authority
- the bundled Execution Engine — not a browser tab, not our cloud
- agents.visibility
- always on — every session, terminal, and merge is observable
- authority.gates
- hard safety gates — high-authority agents still stop for approval
- cloud.requirement
- none — offline after install; skybolt.ai adds sync, not control
