Quickstart

This guide takes you from zero to a coding agent executing a Skaftor work order. You'll need access to a Skaftor workspace and a repository you can connect.

1. Create or import a project

Sign in to the app and create a new project. You can start from a product brief, or import an existing repository — Skaftor reverse-engineers structured context from the code so the plan knows what already exists.

2. Capture intent

Draft requirements from your brief. Each requirement carries acceptance criteria and an explicit scope boundary; open questions are surfaced up front. Approve them to gate progression to the next phase.

3. Blueprint and generate work orders

From approved requirements, Skaftor drafts an architecture blueprint, then compiles phased work orders — each a self-contained, agent-executable task with its execution manifest.

4. Connect a coding agent

Open a work order and copy your personal MCP link. Point your coding agent (Cursor, Claude Code) or the CLI at it:

curl -fsSL https://app.skaftor.com/install | sh
skaftor login "https://app.skaftor.com/api/mcp/<projectId>?dev=<token>"
skaftor wo next

The agent now sees exactly what it's assigned, pulls the execution context, does the work, and reports back — all governed centrally.
