# AI DevKit

> AI DevKit is an open-source CLI toolkit that brings structure and consistency to AI-assisted software development. It works alongside AI coding assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, and others.

AI DevKit solves common problems with AI-assisted development: context loss between sessions, ad hoc workflows, repeated instructions, and siloed knowledge. It provides structured workflows, long-term memory, a community-driven skills system, and multi-agent support.

## Core Features

- **Structured Development Workflows**: Phase-based guidance through requirements, design, planning, implementation, testing, and code review
- **Long-Term Memory**: 100% local SQLite-based knowledge storage for coding standards, patterns, and decisions across sessions
- **Skills System**: Community-driven plugins that teach AI new capabilities and domain-specific patterns
- **Multi-Agent Support**: Works with 11+ AI coding environments including Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex, Windsurf, and more

## Quick Start

Install via npm:

```
npm install -g ai-devkit
```

Initialize in your project:

```
ai-devkit init
```

## Key Skills

- `dev-lifecycle` - Start a new feature, validate requirements and design, execute plans, and run pre-commit reviews
- `tdd` - Add test coverage with a test-first workflow
- `structured-debug` - Debug systematically with reproduction, hypotheses, fixes, and verification
- `memory` - Store important guidelines and patterns in memory
- `document-code` - Analyze and document existing code
