AI DevKit CLI

The command-line interface for AI DevKit — set up and manage AI-assisted development environments in your project.

Features

• 🎯 Phase-based Development — Structured templates for requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing, and more
• 🤖 AI Environment Setup — One-command configuration for Cursor, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and other agents
• 🧠 Skill Management — Install and manage reusable AI skills from registries
• 📝 Customizable Templates — Markdown-based templates with YAML frontmatter

Installation

# Run directly (no install needed)
npx ai-devkit init

Quick Start

# Set up your project interactively
ai-devkit init
