ai-devkit vs agentpack

ai-devkit: AI DevKit is a local-first operating layer for teams running several coding agents. One .ai-devkit.json reconciles skills, MCP and setup across Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, opencode, Pi, Cursor, Copilot and others; agent console is a live TUI for running sessions; agent send routes prompts, logs or stdin to a running agent; and a local SQLite memory is searched over MCP when needed. A dev-lifecycle skill guides requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing and review.; agentpack: Agentpack is a local-first continuity layer for repo-scoped coding work. It stores reviewed task state in a repo-local .agentpack/ directory so that MCP-connected coding agents can continue without rediscovering context or re-reading unchanged sources. It exposes task state through an MCP server, project instructions, CLI commands, and markdown export.
