About

Skulk Operator

Read full description

Skulk Operator is the native remote control for a user-owned Skulk distributed AI cluster. Pair the app with a cluster to: • View cluster health, topology, memory utilization, and node status. • Browse the model catalog and the cluster’s canonical model store. • Inspect model availability across nodes and preview recommended placement. • Place models on compatible compute and stop running instances. • Chat with ready text models while keeping conversation history on this device. • Track downloads, placement, loading, and other operator activity. • Review connection status and paired devices. The normal remote path uses an end-to-end encrypted relay. Foxlight’s relay forwards encrypted traffic without access to operator commands, model details, prompts, or responses. Credentials use platform secure storage, and conversation history remains device-local. Skulk Operator does not download or run AI models on your iPhone or iPad. A separately installed and running Skulk cluster is required. Skulk is free and open-source software.
