Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema

How to install octo-agent?▼

Run `npx skills add open-octo/octo-agent --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all bundled skills globally.

What can octo-agent do out of the box?▼

It ships with shell access, file editing, search, browser automation, MCP servers, and sub-agents enabled by default, plus bundled skills for coding, research, writing, legal, study, and travel tasks.

Which AI models does octo-agent support?▼

It works natively with DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Anthropic, OpenAI, or any OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible endpoint, with per-provider prompt caching tuned to keep token costs predictable.

Does octo-agent send my data anywhere?▼

No. It is fully self-hosted with zero telemetry — the only outbound traffic is the model API calls you configure yourself.

Can non-developers use the bundled skills?▼

Yes. Skills like resume crafting, contract review, study plans, and trip budgeting run from plain-language requests once the agent is installed.
