What is Deftro?

Deftro keeps the skills and prompts your coding agents use, lets someone review each version first, and installs them into your agent.

Deftro is where you keep the skills and prompts your coding agents use. You store each one as an artifact, check every new version before anyone runs it, and install it into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or another agent. Every version gets a Health check that flags careless and risky patterns, so a reviewer knows where to look.

The sidebar

The sidebar is split into groups.

  • Workspace: your Dashboard, Artifacts, Library (what you saved), Projects, Context, Usage, Knowledge and Achievements.
  • Review: the Review queue (with a count of versions waiting for you), Activity, Notifications and Installs.
  • Admin: appears only for Deftro staff, and holds the console: users, reports, Feedback, community moderation and settings.
  • Organisation: appears once you belong to an organisation. Everyone sees Overview, Members and Settings. Owners and admins also see Invitations, GitHub and Reports, and anyone who can publish sees Imports. If you are in several organisations, the switcher at the top of the sidebar picks which one this group shows.

If you advertise on Deftro, the account menu also has a Mode switch. Advertiser mode replaces these groups with your ads (Results, Campaigns, Placements, Creatives, Billing and Settings) and makes Results your home; Developer brings them back. See Apply to advertise.

The Dashboard

The Dashboard is your overview. Across the top are four counts: your personal artifacts, total installs, connected devices, and versions waiting on you. Below them you will find what needs your decision, versions you submitted that are still in review, this week's installs, your shortcuts, your recent artifacts and the latest activity on them. A "For you" row suggests public skills based on the role and tools you picked when you first signed in.

Use Upload to add an artifact, or Find a prompt to browse public ones.

Take the tour

The first time you open the Dashboard in a browser, a short walkthrough starts. It points at the main parts of the app. Back and Next move through it, and Escape closes it.

To see it again, open the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and choose Take the tour.

Ask the help assistant

Stuck on where something is? Select the round button at the bottom right, or press ?, and type your question. The assistant answers from these help pages, with a button that takes you to the right page, and it can find skills and prompts you can see. It is read-only: it never changes anything.

Next steps

When Deftro is in maintenance

A banner at the top of the page says what is happening. You can keep browsing, reading and using skills already installed in your editor; changes are paused until it ends. See what still works.
