IntroductionOfficial AFK documentation for running coding agents with persistent sessions, browser visibility, BYOK model routing, MCP tools, hooks, skills, sub-agents, plugins, and human-in-the-loop safeguards.
Getting StartedInstall AFK and run your first browser-visible coding-agent session.
ConfigurationConfigure models, permissions, account settings, and the browser workspace.
Agents & SkillsCreate reusable agents and skills, then coordinate parallel agent work.
ToolsExplore built-in agent tools, project rules, and language-server support.
HooksAutomate checks and other actions around the agent lifecycle.
IntegrationsConnect AFK to external tools, repositories, chat apps, and automations.
PluginsExtend AFK with plugins and distribute them through curated marketplaces.
ReferenceReview session, billing, security, deployment, and CLI reference guides.
Quick StartConnect a daemon, add a BYOK model, spawn your first AFK session from the browser, and watch the live dashboard, tool trail, and approval gates.
InstallationInstall the AFK daemon on macOS or Linux, connect it to the hub, configure daemon credentials, and prepare local or server-backed coding-agent execution.
LLM ProvidersConfigure AFK model connections for Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, Claude/ChatGPT/Kimi/xAI subscriptions, local models, and OpenAI-compatible providers.
Permission ModesUnderstand AFK permission modes for automatic, write-gated, and fully interactive coding-agent tool execution.
Account SettingsNavigate AFK's shared Settings window from Account or Preferences: models, connections, workspace defaults, security, daemon configuration, and organisation settings.
PreferencesConfigure AFK preferences for appearance, language, pricing estimates, git identity and attribution, Docker apt packages, keyboard shortcuts, and plugin marketplaces.
Browser UI GuideNavigate the AFK browser UI: sessions, sidebar, composer, spawn modal, tool approvals, plan mode, account settings, org context, exports, recall, and troubleshooting.
Team OperationsRun AFK in organisation context with shared dashboards, viewer and contributor session sharing, roles, member invites, assignments, handoffs, mentions, and team-visible agent operations.
Custom AgentsCreate custom AFK agents with reusable role instructions, tool restrictions, model overrides, and sub-agent spawning behavior.
SkillsDefine AFK skills for reusable coding-agent workflows, including descriptions, invocation behavior, body injection, and project or user scope.
Advisor-led OrchestrationCoordinate focused AFK workers with explicit model selection, parallel-safe isolation, scheduled follow-up, concise reporting, and independent verification.
Tools ReferenceReference for AFK agent tools including file operations, shell execution, web fetch, MCP, LSP, todo lists, sub-agents, sessions, tasks, cron, and browser display tools.
Rules and LSPConfigure path-scoped project rules and daemon-owned language server integration so AFK agents follow repository conventions and use semantic code navigation.
Hooks ReferenceUse AFK hooks to run shell commands before and after tool use, approvals, compaction, session lifecycle events, sub-agent events, notifications, and MCP elicitation.
MCP IntegrationConfigure Model Context Protocol servers in AFK, discover MCP tools, call MCP resources, use OAuth-protected MCP servers, and connect browser or external automation tools.
SecretsStore user and organisation secrets for AFK MCP servers, plugin configs, hooks, and integrations using ${secrets.name} placeholders without committing raw values.
Sub-agents & TeamsUse AFK sub-agents, persistent children, ephemeral workers, messaging, and visible agent-team workflows.
Plugin SystemBuild and install AFK plugins that package skills, custom agents, slash commands, MCP servers, hooks, and marketplace metadata.
MarketplaceConfigure AFK plugin marketplace sources, marketplace JSON files, plugin source formats, dependencies, git-backed sync, and browser installation workflows.
GitHub AppConnect the AFK GitHub App, browse private repositories in the remote Docker session picker, and use short-lived installation tokens for session spawns and automations.
Git ProvidersConnect GitHub App installations, Git OAuth providers, custom git hosts, repository pickers, branch/tag selection, and manual clone tokens for AFK Docker sessions.
Automations & WebhooksTrigger AFK sessions from saved schedules, GitHub, CI, monitoring, ticketing, or internal systems using authenticated webhook endpoints and reusable prompts.
Chat IntegrationsInstall, connect, use, troubleshoot, and disconnect AFK for Slack, Google Chat, and Discord, including supported interactions, privacy boundaries, deletion requests, and support.
Sessions, Recall, and ExportUse AFK session history, conversation export, cross-session recall, /status diagnostics, usage tracking, and quota visibility to preserve and inspect agent work.
Session GoalsUse AFK session goals to keep agents working toward explicit objectives across turns, track progress, set budgets, and mark goals complete or blocked.
Billing and LimitsUnderstand AFK billing tiers, trial behavior, session limits, daemon limits, history retention, team seats, and Enterprise deployment options.
Security & Data ResidencyUnderstand how AFK separates hosted control-plane data from daemon-side repository execution, where hosted data is operated, which third parties receive data, and the current security and compliance posture.
Enterprise DeploymentsDeploy AFK on shared company infrastructure: org API keys, systemd service configuration, project root access, corporate CA and proxy setup, resource management, and dedicated control plane options.
CLI ReferenceReference for AFK CLI commands including server startup, daemon registration, agent execution, session spawning, Docker sessions, and configuration flags.
