Get from install to verified review
Phonton is a local-first autonomous development environment for developers who want generated code changes without giving up review control.
The docs are organized around the first successful loop: install the CLI, connect a provider, diagnose the local environment, preview a plan, and review the verified output.
npm install -g phonton-cli
phonton doctor
phonton plan "add input validation to config loading"

Core ideas
| Idea | What it means |
|---|---|
| Plan first | Work starts with a visible task DAG, not an invisible edit loop. |
| Local first | Configuration, memory, repo context, and review state live on the developer machine. |
| BYOK | Provider keys and model routing stay under user control. |
| Verify before review | Generated work should pass checks or report failure before handoff. |
What to read first
- Install if you need the CLI on a machine.
- Configure if you need provider keys or budgets.
- Workflow if you want to understand plan, verify, and review.
- Safety model if you need the trust boundary.
Public alpha
Phonton CLI is pre-1.0. The core loop is real, but public claims should stay tied to reproducible checks and benchmark tasks.
