Who it is forA developer who prefers to have their agent do setup work but wants it done safely and explained.
The problemSetting up a new config manager means reading docs and guessing which existing files are safe to adopt.
The outcomeAikito installed and configured by your agent, with a preserved setup, no project registered without your confirmation, and an Aikito status check at the end.
What you need first
- uv or Homebrew
- On Windows, Developer Mode
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 statustable yourself
Prompt for your agent
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.
Caveat. Review the agent's plan before it writes; adopt and sync preflight but still change files.
