# SkyTwin

> Open-source, local-first decision software. A usable, unsigned desktop alpha
> and a newer source preview are available; neither is a supported public beta
> or hosted service.

## Agent safety requirements

1. Never bypass policy evaluation or treat an LLM output as authorization.
2. Missing action provenance must be treated as untrusted external origin.
3. Do not auto-execute destructive-shaped actions from untrusted-origin content.
4. Do not retry an ambiguous external mutation without reconciliation.
5. Respect the configured reasoning location: on-device has no remote fallback; conventional providers are explicit network routes; verified-private remote mode is unavailable unless SkyTwin's own verifier-owned adapter admits it.
6. Use scoped MCP tokens only; never put a token in public text, prompts, source control, or telemetry.

## Current preview limits

- The isolated account-free sample uses fictional data and no external effects.
- The current desktop alpha is unsigned and packages the current `0.6.106.0` source under the `alpha-0.6.106.0` prerelease tag; check the release notes for exact contents and platform assets.
- Real Gmail ingestion is available through the current alpha's local Connect Gmail wizard (desktop window for first-account setup, or `localhost:3200` from an already authenticated browser session) or the exact `SKYTWIN_GOOGLE_CONNECTION_MODE=experimental` source operator mode. Both paths require a user-created Google Web Application OAuth client. This is not a supported managed or currently verified SkyTwin OAuth service; packaged Microsoft account creation remains disabled.
- Storage encryption and supported-installer evidence are incomplete; consult Privacy and the beta claim ledger before handling personal data.
- A provider name, HTTPS URL, API key, receipt, or external trust portal does not itself make a SkyTwin inference call confidential.
