Sketch Deployment Modes
You can run hosted, local, and standalone.
In hosted mode, there is nothing to install: login with GitHub, authorize Sketch to write to a
repository, and use the browser to make changes. Sketch will write your changes back to a branch
named something like
username/sketch/title
.
In local and standalone modes, you need a working Docker on your machine, to allow multiple Sketch
sessions to work in parallel and for isolation. Sketch's changes will be pushed back to the
(local) repository you started Sketch in, in a branch named sketch/*
Standalone mode doesn't talk to any sketch.dev services, and can
be invoked with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=... sketch -skaband-addr=
.
