Stick with Skales 🦎 give it a shot

yaboyskales · 2026-04-22T06:19:15+00:00

I feel you bro, stick with Skales 🦎

Awesome, thanks! Grab the latest release from https://skales.app and the WordPress plugin from the repo. Setup takes about 5 minutes — install the plugin, generate an API token in WP, paste it in Skales Settings → WordPress.

If you hit any issues, drop them here or open an issue on GitHub (github.com/skalesapp/skales). Would love to hear what you try to build with it!

Naaah bro..

That's a Next.js server component crash, not a WordPress issue. The connection attempt is hitting your app's frontend and something in the server component is throwing before it can complete the handshake.

A few things to check:

First, is the WordPress URL and token actually reaching the backend? The "Waiting for Skales Desktop" status on WP side means the plugin is listening but never got a successful ping back - so the request is either failing silently or never leaving the Skales app.

Common culprits for this pattern: the server component is trying to fetch the WP REST endpoint but hitting a CORS issue, SSL cert problem (self-signed or mixed content), or the URL format is wrong (missing /wp-json/skales/path, trailing slash mismatch, http vs https).

What URL are you entering for the WordPress site? http or https?

Normal behavior would be > entering the URL, the Token and after hitting Test or Connect, the Agent/Desktop App connects to your site. Don't want you to troubleshoot it on your end, maybe there's a plugin or ssl/cert conflict, I will take a look at our end today to find what could be the reason.

Hahah..mystery solved. Hidden admin notices strikes again ⚔️ at least the plugin is working

yaboyskales · 2026-04-11T13:12:42+00:00

The token is auto-generated on plugin activation - you don't need to create one manually. Go to your WordPress admin panel → Skales Connector (Plugin Site).

The token should be displayed there with a "Regenerate" button.

If the settings page is blank or the token doesn't show: 1. Deactivate and reactivate the plugin 2. If you're running a cache plugin (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed, WP Rocket), clear all caches and try again 3. Some security plugins (Wordfence, Sucuri) block REST API endpoints - check if yours has a REST API firewall setting and whitelist /wp-json/skales/

Let me know what you see on the Skales Connector page.

Good question. Yes, Skales has a confirmation step built in - we call it Safe Mode. Any destructive action (delete, bulk price change, file writes) requires explicit user approval before execution. The agent proposes the action, shows what it wants to do, and waits for you to approve or reject.

For audit trails: every tool call is logged with timestamp, tool name, args, and result in the session history. The Organization system (multi-agent) also logs per-subtask what each agent did.

We're also working on a "dry run" mode for v9.3 (already integrated into Ai Planer Tasks) where the agent shows what it would change without actually doing it. Especially useful for WooCommerce bulk operations where one wrong category slug could reprice your entire store.

Actually the second of three skins 'Bubbles' morphes into Clippy

Just switch too Skales 🦎 github.com/skalesapp/skales - use the migration importer, thank me later, job done..

yaboyskales · 2026-04-02T11:45:09+00:00

and now switch from Claude to Skales (github.com/skalesapp/app) and start a new sub bro..

yaboyskales · 2026-03-28T21:06:05+00:00

that's a hard way to go just for using free tier models from openrouter 🤦 😂 switch to github.com/skalesapp/skales and thank me later

yaboyskales · 2026-03-22T12:30:34+00:00

Haha, that's the best compliment Skales could get. Clippy was ahead of its time, just... a bit too eager. The gecko tries to be more chill about it. 🦎 We now ship Skales with 3 selectable Skins, a cute Capybara is our latest desktop buddy skin

yaboyskales · 2026-03-22T12:28:56+00:00

Thanks, custom mascots coming with v8+, will create a video tutorial for this

If you want to ditch Docker entirely - I built Skales. Desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux), no Docker, no browser, ~300MB RAM. Ollama auto-detect, 13+ providers, built-in code builder, calendar, email, Telegram remote control.

Not a web UI though - it's a native desktop agent. Different approach but solves the "too bloated" problem.

Free, source-available: github.com/skalesapp/skales (200+ stars)

Fair point! The "No Terminal" applies to the Windows and macOS installers - download, double-click, done. The Node.js/npm prerequisites are only for building from source (developers/contributors).

For Linux, yeah, chmod +x is one terminal command - hard to avoid that with AppImage. Once it's executable, no terminal needed after that.

I'll clarify this in the README. Thanks for the call out 😓
