3 use cases

  • Bring all your agent configs into one workspace

    Install Aikito, create one personal Git workspace, adopt the instructions, skills, MCP servers and memory your agents already use, and sync them back out.

    View prompt
    Install and configure Aikito from https://github.com/lsaint/aikito. Inspect the agent configuration I already use, initialize the Aikito workspace, adopt supported existing resources, synchronize them, and verify the result with aikito status. Ask before using --skip, --force or --prune.

  • Keep agent context in sync across machines

    Version your Aikito workspace with Git and sync it on each machine, so every computer gets the same skills, instructions and durable memory.

    View prompt
    Help me move my Aikito workspace at ~/aikito to a private Git remote: check it for secrets first, push it, then give me the exact commands to set it up on my <second OS> machine and verify with aikito status.

  • Let your coding agent install and configure Aikito

    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.

    View 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.
