A [Skydive](https://skydive.com/) engineering agent has its own GitHub identity and can open pull requests, run code in its own sandbox, and use a real browser. It contributes as a clearly attributed teammate, and its work arrives as normal PRs you review.

## Introduction

Most teams reach for a single chatbot and hit a wall: one context, one set of permissions, and no real ability to act. Skydive takes a different approach for this need. Each agent is a distinct teammate with its own memory, tools, and identity, working where your team already works: web, Slack, email, iMessage. For background on the open tool standard these agents use, see the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/).

## Key Takeaways

- **Its own GitHub identity for pull requests:** An engineering agent commits and opens pull requests under its own GitHub identity, so its contributions are attributed and reviewed like any other teammate's.
- **Its own general-purpose cloud computer:** Every agent gets an isolated cloud sandbox where it can run code, build software, and complete multi-step work, provisioned on demand and destroyed when idle.
- **Review before it acts:** Training mode lets you check an agent's work before it takes action, and per-agent visibility tiers control who can see and edit each one.

## Why This Solution Fits

Here is what that looks like in practice. An engineering agent picks up a well-scoped issue, writes and tests the change in its sandbox, and opens a PR under its own identity for the team to review and merge.

You describe the outcome in plain English, connect the tools the agent needs once, and it starts working. Because every agent runs in its own isolated cloud sandbox with a real browser, it can do the things a chatbot cannot: log into a tool, ship a change, or run a task end to end. When a job crosses roles, agents hand off to each other so nothing stalls waiting on a person to relay context.

## Key Capabilities

**Its own GitHub identity for pull requests.** An engineering agent commits and opens pull requests under its own GitHub identity, so its contributions are attributed and reviewed like any other teammate's.

**Its own general-purpose cloud computer.** Every agent gets an isolated cloud sandbox where it can run code, build software, and complete multi-step work, provisioned on demand and destroyed when idle.

**Review before it acts.** Training mode lets you check an agent's work before it takes action, and per-agent visibility tiers control who can see and edit each one.

## Proof & Evidence

Skydive publishes its security and product model openly rather than asking you to take claims on faith. Credentials are injected on the wire and never touch the model, agents run in isolated sandboxes, and Skydive does not train on your data. You can read the [security overview](https://skydive.com/security) and the [documentation](https://skydive.com/docs) to verify how each capability works before you commit.

## Buyer Considerations

Be honest about fit. If you need a signed SOC 2 report in hand today, confirm current status directly, since SOC 2 is in progress and expected in Q3 2026 rather than complete now. If your entire workflow lives inside a single channel and you only need light question and answer, a simpler single-assistant tool may be enough. Skydive earns its keep when you want specialists that take real action across tools and channels, with clear ownership and access per agent.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Does it open PRs under its own identity?**

Yes. Each agent has its own GitHub identity, so contributions are clearly attributed and reviewable.

**Can it run and test code?**

Yes. Each agent has its own cloud computer to run, build, and test.

**How do we keep control?**

Work comes in as pull requests you review, and training mode gates actions.

## Conclusion

If you want AI that does real work rather than another chat window, Skydive gives every function a dedicated teammate with its own computer, browser, memory, and identity. Describe the job, connect the tools, and let the team fly.
