What is it?

AI DevKit is a local operating layer for teams that run several AI coding agents at once. A single .ai-devkit.json file reconciles rules, skills and MCP setup across tools such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, opencode, Cursor and GitHub Copilot, so each agent does not need hand-maintained configuration.

The project provides an agent console that lists and inspects running sessions, and an agent send command that routes prompts or piped stdin to a running session or a saved group of agents. Project decisions, conventions and fixes are stored in a local SQLite memory that agents search on demand through MCP and CLI rather than loading into every prompt.

AI DevKit also installs a set of engineering skills, anchored by dev-lifecycle, which walks an agent through requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing and review. Session control is supported on macOS and Linux through tmux, and the project is licensed under Apache-2.0.

Key features

  • 01Generates per-agent config, rules and MCP setup from one .ai-devkit.json file.
  • 02Live terminal console for listing and inspecting running agent sessions.
  • 03Sends prompts or piped stdin to a running agent or a saved agent group.
  • 04Stores and searches project memory in local SQLite via MCP and CLI.
  • 05Ships built-in skills such as dev-lifecycle, verify, tdd and dev-debug.

Use cases

  • Supervising several coding agents running in separate terminals from one console.
  • Keeping the same project rules and skills consistent across Claude Code, Cursor and Codex CLI.
  • Piping test output or logs into a running agent session for follow-up.
  • Running structured requirements-to-review workflows for larger or riskier changes.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Run machine setup once

    npx ai-devkit@latest setup
  2. 2

    Enter your project directory

    cd your-project
  3. 3

    Initialize AI DevKit in the project

    npx ai-devkit@latest init

Things to know

  • Agent console and tmux-based session control work only on macOS and Linux, not Windows.
  • The agent console is marked experimental and requires tmux.
