Show HN: Skales – I built a desktop AI agent a 6-year-old can use

https://github.com/skalesapp/skales

Solo dev from Vienna. Skales is a local-first AI desktop agent for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

v9.0.0 just shipped with Agent Skills (SKILL.md import from Claude Code, Codex, Copilot), autonomous coding (Codework), multi-agent teams (Organization), Computer Use, and 15+ providers including Ollama offline.

No Docker, no terminal. Download, install, done. My 6-year-old built a Snake game with it.

BSL-1.1, free for personal use.
