Flicker keeps a project's repository, tickets and documents searchable, lets you ask questions about them, and runs coding agents against that context. A project is the umbrella: it owns the repositories, tickets and sources, and, where your organization has hosting, its databases and apps. Agents open pull requests; a person approves every merge, and nothing here deploys on its own. One CLI and a REST API drive all of it.
These docs cover the developer surface end to end. New here? Start with Getting started — connect GitHub, add a model key, turn on Ask — and work down.
Getting started
Connect GitHub, add a model key, turn on Ask. Hosting walkthrough after.
Environments & secrets
The secrets model: environments, inheritance, managed vs user secrets, bundles.
Deploys
Push → Building → running, deploy history, and rollback.
Wiring dependencies
Dependency edges, auto-rewire, and one-click templated connection keys.
Volumes
Persistent storage that survives deploys and restarts.
Transactional email: verify a sending domain, send via the API, and watch the message log.
Tickets
AI-native work units: the v1 workflow, versioned documents, local checkout, and searchable memory.
Notifications
The in-app inbox, optional email delivery, and per-type email preferences.
Agents & automation
First-party skills for Claude Code, Pi, and Codex that run the plan → ship workflow on Flicker Tickets.
Agent config
One library of rules, skills, and MCP servers — assigned per project, written into every harness.
Agent context
Public catalog of skills and groups. Pin exact versions into a private profile. Flicker does not host MCP or run those agents.
Software factory
Ticket-driven agent runs on branch environments: phases, gates, rosters, and the trace.
Assistant & RAG
A project-scoped assistant grounded in your own data — buckets, git repos, and tickets — with hybrid retrieval.
Assistant chat API
Put a published support assistant on your site: one public key, a streamed, cited answer, and a daily cap.
Platform health
Cached functional status for Flicker's six platform components.
CLI reference
Every command, flag, and example — mirrored from the CLI's own help.
