AgentKit

What it does: ak: multi-agent toolkit. Start with the project lifecycle commands, then use expert kit/skill commands when you need finer control. Scripted --json output is wrapped in a versioned success envelope (schema_version + kind + data); see docs/specs/ux-contract.md.

Who it's for: Both power devs (CLI scripting) and non-technical users (TUI / GUI).

When to use it: Use as your daily driver for AgentKit onboarding, updates, diagnostics, and agent operations.

Examples: ak init # onboard the current project ak update # preview project refreshes; add --yes to apply ak doctor # check setup and get the next command ak uninstall # preview removal of AK-owned project files ak gui # open the desktop UI ak kit list-kits # advanced: inspect available kits

What changes on disk: Read-only at the root; subcommands document their own disk effects.

Output modes: pretty default on TTY (colors, ASCII markers) plain auto when stdout piped or --no-interactive json --json (single-object envelope, NDJSON-safe)

Exit codes: 0 success 1 runtime error 2 invalid flags 3 user-cancel (SIGINT, prompt-cancel)
