Set up your workspace
Sign in, connect code hosts and document sources, create or import projects, invite your team, and find your way around Home, the Inbox and the main navigation.
Signing in
Sign in at app.skaftor.com with email and password, "Email me a magic link instead", or "Continue with Google", "Continue with GitHub" or "Continue with Microsoft". Teammates join through an invitation link. New sign-ups may see "Your account is pending approval" until access is granted.
First-run setup
The "Welcome to skaftor" setup has three steps, and you can skip any of them:
- Connect — choose GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket, then pick repositories. Skaftor suggests grouping repos that look like one product, and imports open issues as features and bugs.
- Product docs — connect Notion, Confluence, Jira or Linear so existing PRDs can be imported.
- Your team — import people from Google Workspace, Okta, Microsoft Entra or a CSV.
Not ready to connect anything? "Try it with an example" opens a sandbox project you can reset at any time.
Projects and repositories
A project is the container for a product. Use the repo switcher (top left) › "New repo" to "Create new repo" or "Import Existing Repository" from any connected host — indexing runs in the background. A project can span several repositories; each work order targets exactly one, because a pull request can't span repositories.
Finding your way around
- Home — start a feature from a PRD, see what needs your attention, and follow work in progress.
- Features — every feature and bug with its current stage (Draft, Requirements, Design, Work orders, Done).
- Work orders — every work order across features, with status and delivery state.
- Ship — Releases, Deployment gates, and Environments (what runs where).
- Docs — Repo docs (PRDs, decks, notes, images, audio) and Designs (every feature's technical design).
- Insights — readiness, intelligence, architecture, tech debt and services.
- Activity — what happened, with an audit trail and history.
The Inbox icon in the top bar shows what's waiting on you: approvals, changes requested, work assigned to you, and mentions. Press ⌘K to search and ⌘/ to ask the agent.
