What it does

AI Devkit Setup is an agent skill from codeaholicguy/ai-devkit. AI DevKit · Check local AI DevKit readiness and run setup only when status shows onboarding or harness integration gaps.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

The repository describes itself as: The control plane for AI coding agents. The licence is Apache-2.0.

Example prompts

  • “/ai-devkit-setup”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Run readiness first
  2. Identify failed or warning checks that setup can fix. Setup covers local integrations like hooks, built-in skills, and session tracking…
  3. Run the narrowest setup command, for example
  4. Re-run ai-devkit status --json and report what changed plus any remaining manual actions.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7ef0cd5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Devkit Setup loads about 502 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 251 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~502

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

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

    If the user asked for broad onboarding and several supported harnesses need setup, ai-devkit setup is acceptable.

  4. Re-run ai-devkit status --json and report what changed plus any remaining manual actions.

Boundaries

  • Do not run setup before checking status unless the user explicitly asks to force setup.
  • Do not claim setup is complete without a fresh status check from this session.
  • Do not modify secrets, auth tokens, or unrelated harness config manually. Point the user to the failing status item instead.
  • Ask before destructive cleanup or replacing existing user-managed configuration.
  • Keep output concise: status command, setup command if run, final readiness, and remaining user actions.
