frink's catalog security scan is still queued. You can run an instant dependency and prompt-injection check now with the "Scan for vulnerabilities" button above.
Clone the repository with "git clone https://github.com/benord-labs/frink" and add it to your Claude Code skills directory (see the Installation section above).
frink is primarily written in TypeScript. It is open-source under benord-labs on GitHub, so you can review or fork the full source.

The deep catalog scan for this skill is still queued. Run an instant dependency check now instead.
Split the window into up to four panes and give each agent a different job. They work at the same time, and each pane keeps its own model and its own diff to review. Put each one on its own git worktree and they never touch the same files.
Type the routine the way you would say it: "Every weekday at 9am, run the tests. If any fail, have an agent fix them, then wait for my approval before it opens a PR." Frink builds it as a Flow and lists every step, so you can read it and change it before it runs.
A new ticket in Linear, Jira, Shortcut or ClickUp, an error in Sentry, an event in PostHog, any webhook, or a time of day. The Flow checks a condition to pick its path, and waits at an approval step until you say yes.
Every run from every project shows up in the Work Queue as running, ready for review or queued. A badge appears when a Flow stops for approval or an agent has a question. Read what it did, then approve it or reply to send it back.
Every file the agent changes shows as a diff. Open it in the built-in editor, change a line and save, run a command in the terminal, or roll the chat back to an earlier checkpoint.
Also in the box:
~/.ssh, ~/.aws and .env are blocked wherever Frink checks (the page lists what it doesn't cover yet).Bring your own subscription or API key — Frink runs the agent, you keep the account.
Download the AppImage or the .deb from frink.dev/download, or directly: x64 AppImage · .deb, arm64 AppImage · .deb. Both update themselves.
chmod +x Frink-X.Y.Z.AppImage && ./Frink-X.Y.Z.AppImage, with X.Y.Z the version you downloaded. It does not need libfuse2: it mounts itself with fusermount3 from the fuse3 package. If it will not start, install fuse3 or start it with --appimage-extract-and-run. Keep it in a folder you can write to, such as ~/Applications, so updates can replace it.sudo apt install ./frink_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb (_arm64.deb on arm64). Updates ask for your password in a system prompt.Frink saves API keys and MCP credentials only when it can encrypt them with a desktop keyring (GNOME Keyring or KWallet). Without one it does not save them, so install one and relaunch Frink before adding accounts.
