AI DevKit · Check local AI DevKit readiness and run setup only when status shows onboarding or harness integration gaps.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# AI DevKit Setup

Use this skill when a user wants to onboard AI DevKit, prepare a harness, repair local AI DevKit integration, or check whether setup is needed.

Keep the workflow status-driven and simple. Prefer the installed `ai-devkit` binary; if it is unavailable, use `npx ai-devkit@latest`.

## Execution Notes

- Under filesystem sandboxing, run `ai-devkit status --json` and any `ai-devkit setup` command outside the sandbox. These commands inspect and modify host-level agent configuration; sandboxed runs can produce false failures or block setup writes, especially for integrations that execute harness commands and access paths like `~/.pi/agent`.

## Workflow

1. Run readiness first:

   ```bash
   ai-devkit status --json
   ```

2. Identify failed or warning checks that setup can fix. Setup covers local integrations like hooks, built-in skills, and session tracking for `codex`, `pi`, and `claude`; it does not fix auth, missing package managers, or host tools requiring user installation.

3. Run the narrowest setup command, for example:

   ```bash
   ai-devkit setup --agent codex,pi,claude
   ```
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add codeaholicguy/ai-devkit/ai-devkit-setup@sha256:dbf03ff4332cb071

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260904.1cbff49, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
