About the project

AI DevKit is a local-first control layer that gives multiple AI coding agents shared configuration, a terminal dashboard, cross-agent messaging, local memory retrieval, and reusable engineering workflows. It is for developers and teams supervising agents such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Pi, Cursor, Copilot, or Devin. The catalogue entries are composable skills and plugin components used within that agent-management system.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

document-code scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Code Documentation Assistant

Build structured understanding of code entry points with an analysis-first workflow.

Hard Rule

  • Do not create documentation until the entry point is validated and analysis is complete.

Workflow

  1. Gather & Validate
  • Confirm entry point (file, folder, function, API), purpose, and desired depth.
  • Verify it exists; resolve ambiguity or suggest alternatives if not found.
  • Search for existing knowledge before analyzing: npx ai-devkit@latest memory search --query "<entry point name or purpose>"
  1. Collect Source Context
  • Summarize purpose, exports, key patterns.
  • Folders: list structure, highlight key modules.
  • Functions/APIs: capture signature, parameters, return values, error handling.
  1. Analyze Dependencies
  • Build dependency view up to depth 3, track visited nodes to avoid loops.
  • Categorize: imports, function calls, services, external packages.
  • Exclude external systems or generated code.
  1. Synthesize
  • Overview (purpose, language, high-level behavior).
  • Core logic, execution flow, patterns.
  • Error handling, performance, security considerations.
  • Improvements or risks discovered during analysis.
  1. Create Documentation
  • Normalize name to kebab-case (calculateTotalPrice → calculate-total-price).
  • Create docs/ai/implementation/knowledge-{name}.md using the Output Template — this is the source of truth.
  • Include mermaid diagrams when they clarify flows or relationships.
  1. Offer HTML Artifact
  • After the markdown is written, ask the user once: "Also generate an HTML artifact for easier scanning? (y/N)".
  • If yes, generate sibling docs/ai/implementation/knowledge-{name}.html per the HTML Artifact spec. Regenerate from the markdown on subsequent runs; never hand-edit.
  • If no or no response, stop here — markdown alone is a complete result.

HTML Artifact

Generated only when the user opts in at step 6. A self-contained HTML file optimized for scanning, not reference reading. Complements the markdown — does not replace it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
