ai-devkit
AI DevKit targets developers whose setup has grown from one assistant into several, each with its own config file and MCP wiring, terminals with no shared view, and agents that forget yesterday's conventions. It adds a local-first operating layer so those agents share setup, a control surface, memory and communication paths.
A single .ai-devkit.json reconciles the agent files, skills and MCP setup for the tools a team picks, among them Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, opencode, Pi, Cursor and GitHub Copilot. The agent console is a live TUI for supervising running sessions across providers, agent send routes prompts, stdin or logs to a running session or a named group, and a local SQLite memory is exposed over MCP so agents retrieve conventions and fixes only when a task needs them instead of carrying everything in every prompt.
On top of this sit composable engineering skills: a dev-lifecycle skill that walks requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing and review, plus verify, tdd, debugging, security and docs skills. Setup is npx ai-devkit setup once per machine and npx ai-devkit init per project, which writes the per-agent folders and docs/ai structure into the repo.
