 "title": "Let your coding agent install and configure Aikito",
 "page_title": "How to let your coding agent install and configure Aikito with Aikito",
 "summary": "Paste the setup prompt from Aikito's README into your coding agent and let it inspect your current setup, adopt it and verify the result, asking before risky flags.",
 "who": "A developer who prefers to have their agent do setup work but wants it done safely and explained.",
 "problem": "Setting up a new config manager means reading docs and guessing which existing files are safe to adopt.",
 "outcome": "Aikito installed and configured by your agent, with a preserved setup, no project registered without your confirmation, and an Aikito status check at the end.",
 "steps": [
  "Open your coding agent in any folder",
  "Paste the README prompt that starts: Install and configure Aikito from https://github.com/lsaint/aikito",
  "Let it read the README and the bundled SKILL.md before acting",
  "Review the preflight plans that adopt and sync print, and approve them",
  "Answer its questions if a step stops on a conflict; it should not use --force or --prune without asking",
  "Check the final `aikito status` table yourself"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Install and configure Aikito from https://github.com/lsaint/aikito. Read the README and src/aikito/templates/skills/aikito/SKILL.md. Preserve my current setup, do not register a project without my confirmation, and if there is nothing to adopt, skip that step and tell me.",

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Review the agent's plan before it writes; adopt and sync preflight but still change files.",
