How it works
Your agent still lives in the cloud, but a small bridge lets you extend its workspace.

- Install the DMG file Open the file and drag Starchild into your Applications folder.
- Pair with your agent Launch Starchild and paste the pairing key your agent gives you.
- Grant local access Choose which folders your agent can reach. You can change this any time.

Your files, your rules
Local access is permission-scoped. You set the folders, and you can revoke at any time.
What you can allow
Read your Downloads, Documents, or Desktop. Write where you permit it. Run approved commands like node or ls.
What it will never do
Touch SSH keys, credentials, or shell configs. Run destructive commands without you. Act outside the folders you listed.
