Install Shibaox, connect a model and your first app, and have it run a real task in about five minutes.

01Install

Shibaox runs on macOS, Linux and Windows. The fastest way in is Homebrew:

bash

brew install shibaox

Prefer a desktop app? Download for macOS — it ships the same agent plus a menu-bar approvals panel.

Run shibaox init and choose where the thinking happens. You can change it per skill later.

bash

shibaox init
? Model provider › Anthropic Claude
? API key       › sk-ant-••••••••
✓ Saved to ~/.shibaox/config.toml

Apps are connected as tools. Each one asks for the smallest set of permissions it needs, and you can revoke it any time.

bash

shibaox connect gmail

Ask for something real. You’ll see every tool call as it happens — and anything irreversible pauses for you.

bash

shibaox run "summarise my unread email and draft replies"

Unattended mode skips approvals for a single skill. Turn it on only for skills whose actions you can undo.
