# Product status

Shiba is an early-stage project under active development. Start with a small task you can review, and check the result before using it.

<span id="in-the-tree"></span>

## What you can try

- Create an employee with instructions for work you repeat.
- Give it a task in a thread and review the request before approving it.
- Inspect the returned files, changes, and reported checks.
- Request a pull request or use a connected chat service when your installation supports it.

Every task needs a repository and a working model connection. Your workspace owner chooses which services are available.

## What still needs checking

The project has not yet verified the full live workflow in its acceptance record. Test a small task with your own model and repository before relying on it.

Chat connections also need testing in your own workspace. The desktop app remains a local prototype rather than a signed public release.

## Choose your next step

Use [Your first task](/docs/getting-started/) to try the workflow, or [Common questions](/docs/troubleshooting/) if you're stuck.

If you manage an installation, use the [readiness checklist](/docs/readiness/). The [implementation status reference](/docs/implementation-status/) keeps the dated engineering inventory separate from everyday help.
