layerkit-bootstrap

A setup procedure for installing Layerkit in a project and preparing its project files and memory index. Layerkit supports workflows where coding agents build integrations from documented evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install Layerkit for a supported coding-agent platform, enable its hooks, create the project store and memory index, and check the repository status.
Why use it?
It creates the basic project structure, checks the installation, and reports missing setup pieces before integration work begins.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

layerkit-bootstrap 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

layerkit-bootstrap

Install tools for the agent-as-developer loop. Maps start empty; agents author integrations from evidence.

Steps

  1. Detect platform: codex | claude | cursor | copilot | opencode | openhands | devin | windsurf | factory-droid | antigravity
  2. Install + verify:
layerkit install --platform <platform> --hooks enabled --map-reminders enabled --poc
layerkit doctor
layerkit repo status
layerkit memory index
  1. Confirm project store path (--project-dir / LAYERKIT_PROJECT_DIR / default .layerkit).
  2. Confirm memory dirs under {projectDir}/memory/ (INDEX.md present).
  3. Next: layerkit-orchestrate-integration (or layerkit-discover-data-layer).

Forbidden

  • Authoring vendor maps during bootstrap
  • Hardcoding vendor field names into core

Success criteria

  • layerkit doctor exits clean (or only expected empty-map warnings)
  • Skills installed for the chosen platform
  • {projectDir}/memory/INDEX.md exists
  • No invented map payloads in store

Final answer

Platform, projectDir, hooks on/off, doctor status, next skill.

Changes

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.
