agentkit-cli 0.35.0

Unified CLI for the Agent Quality Toolkit (agentmd, coderace, agentlint, agentreflect)

agentkit-cli

Unified CLI for the Agent Quality Toolkit (agentmd, coderace, agentlint, agentreflect).

Installation

pip install agentkit-cli

Quick Start

pip install agentkit-cli
agentkit quickstart    # 🚀 fastest path to a score — start here

agentkit quickstart checks your toolchain, runs a fast composite score (agentlint + agentmd), prints a beautiful Rich summary, and optionally publishes a shareable score card — all in under 60 seconds.

agentkit run           # run the full pipeline
agentkit score         # compute composite score
agentkit gate          # fail if score < threshold

Configuration

agentkit uses .agentkit.toml for project-level configuration.

agentkit config init       # create .agentkit.toml with defaults
agentkit config show       # show effective config with sources
agentkit config set gate.min_score 80
agentkit config get gate.min_score

Config Precedence

CLI flags > env vars > project .agentkit.toml > user config > defaults

Profiles

Profiles are named presets for gate thresholds, notify config, and sweep targets. Switch your entire quality policy in one command.

Built-in Presets

Profile	Min Score	Max Drop	Notify On	Gate
strict	85	3	fail	enabled
balanced	70	10	never	enabled
minimal	50	20	never	disabled

Usage

# Switch to strict quality standards
agentkit profile use strict

# List all profiles (built-in + user-defined)
agentkit profile list

# Show profile details
agentkit profile show strict

# Run gate with a specific profile
agentkit gate --profile strict

# Create a custom profile based on strict
agentkit profile create myprofile --from strict --min-score 90

# Export a profile as JSON or TOML
agentkit profile export strict --format json

Using Profiles with Commands

All major commands support --profile:

agentkit gate --profile strict
agentkit run --profile balanced
agentkit sweep --profile minimal owner/repo1 owner/repo2
agentkit score --profile balanced
agentkit analyze --profile strict github:owner/repo

Explicit CLI flags always override profile values:

# Uses strict profile but overrides min-score to 99
agentkit gate --profile strict --min-score 99

Trending Analysis

agentkit trending answers: "Which repos blowing up on GitHub are most AI-agent-ready today?"

# Rank this week's trending AI repos (default)
agentkit trending

# Fast mode: list repos without scoring
agentkit trending --no-analyze

# Filter by topic, publish a shareable report
agentkit trending --topic ai-agent --share

# Weekly trending, top 15, min 500 stars, JSON output
agentkit trending --period week --limit 15 --min-stars 500 --json

# Use a GitHub token for higher rate limits
agentkit trending --token ghp_xxx

Output: a ranked Rich table (Rank | Repo | Stars | Score | Grade | URL) and optionally a dark-theme HTML report published to here.now.

Tournament

agentkit tournament runs a round-robin bracket across 4-16 repos and ranks them by win/loss record with avg score tiebreak.

# Run a 4-repo tournament
agentkit tournament github:fastapi/fastapi github:tiangolo/starlette github:django/django github:pallets/flask

# Publish a shareable HTML bracket report
agentkit tournament github:fastapi/fastapi github:tiangolo/starlette github:django/django github:pallets/flask --share

# JSON output for CI/scripting
agentkit tournament github:fastapi/fastapi github:tiangolo/starlette github:django/django github:pallets/flask --json

# Sequential (no parallel), quiet mode, save HTML
agentkit tournament github:fastapi/fastapi github:tiangolo/starlette github:django/django github:pallets/flask \
  --no-parallel --quiet --output bracket.html

Output: standings table (Rank | Repo | W-L | Avg Score | Grade), match results matrix, and winner banner. Use --share to publish a dark-theme HTML bracket to here.now.

Portfolio Insights

Once you've analyzed multiple repos with agentkit analyze or agentkit run, the agentkit insights command synthesizes patterns across all historical runs:

# Portfolio health summary (avg score, best/worst repo, top issue)
agentkit insights

# Most common agentlint findings across all repos
agentkit insights --common-findings

# Repos scoring in the bottom quartile
agentkit insights --outliers

# Repos with significant score movement between runs
agentkit insights --trending

# All sections in one view
agentkit insights --all

# Machine-readable JSON (useful for scripts/dashboards)
agentkit insights --json

# Use a specific history DB
agentkit insights --db /path/to/history.db

Store agentlint findings alongside scores for richer cross-repo analysis:

agentkit run --record-findings
agentkit analyze github:owner/repo --record-findings

JSON output schema:

{
  "portfolio_summary": {
    "avg_score": 74.5,
    "total_runs": 12,
    "unique_repos": 4,
    "top_issue": "missing-tools-section",
    "best_repo": "owner/repo-a",
    "worst_repo": "owner/repo-d"
  },
  "common_findings": [
    {"finding": "missing-tools-section", "repo_count": 3, "total_occurrences": 5}
  ],
  "outliers": [
    {"project": "owner/repo-d", "latest_score": 42.0, "avg_score": 48.5, "run_count": 2}
  ],
  "trending": [
    {"project": "owner/repo-b", "previous_score": 55.0, "latest_score": 80.0, "delta": 25.0, "direction": "up"}
  ]
}

Sharing Results

Share your agent quality score card with a single command:

# Generate and upload a score card to here.now
agentkit share

# Share from a saved JSON report
agentkit share --report agentkit-report.json

# Hide raw numbers (show pass/fail only)
agentkit share --no-scores

# Output JSON with URL and score
agentkit share --json

# Auto-share after a run
agentkit run --share

# Auto-share after generating a report
agentkit report --share

# Quickest way to get a score + share URL for any repo
agentkit quickstart github:owner/repo

# Full analyze with share (more detail, slower)
agentkit analyze github:owner/repo --share

# Batch analyze repos and share a combined scorecard
agentkit sweep github:owner/repo1 github:owner/repo2 --share

Score cards are standalone HTML pages (dark theme) showing: composite score, per-tool breakdown, project name, git ref, and timestamp. Anonymous cards expire in 24h; set HERENOW_API_KEY for persistent links.

GitHub Actions

Use the agentkit GitHub Action to run quality checks on every PR:

- uses: mikiships/agentkit-cli@v0.7.0
  with:
    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    min-score: 70

Or install and run directly:

- uses: actions/checkout@v4
- run: pip install agentkit-cli
- run: agentkit gate --profile strict

See agentkit setup-ci for automated workflow generation.

Local Dashboard

agentkit serve starts a lightweight local web dashboard showing all toolkit runs from the history database:

agentkit serve [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --port PORT    Port to serve on (default: 7890)
  --open         Auto-open the dashboard in your browser on start
  --once         Render dashboard HTML to stdout and exit (no server)
  --json         Print server URL as JSON and exit (useful for scripts)

The dashboard shows a dark-theme summary of every project run: latest score, grade (A–F), per-tool breakdown, timestamp, and run ID. Scores are color-coded green (≥80), yellow (≥60), and red (<60). The page auto-refreshes every 30 seconds.

Quick start:

agentkit serve --open           # start server + open browser
agentkit run --serve            # run pipeline, then print dashboard URL
agentkit serve --once > out.html  # render to file

No external dependencies — uses Python stdlib only (http.server, threading, webbrowser).

Live Dashboard

Run once and watch scores update in real-time:

# Combined: watch files + serve dashboard (updates without reload)
agentkit watch --serve --port 7890

# Or start server in live mode (polls for external writes):
agentkit serve --live

The dashboard connects via SSE (/events) and re-renders the runs table in-place when new pipeline results arrive. A ● Live indicator shows connection status; it drops to ○ Offline if the server stops.

Release Check

agentkit release-check verifies the 4-part release surface to confirm a package is truly shipped, not just locally complete:

agentkit release-check [PATH] [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --version VERSION   Version to verify (default: from pyproject.toml/package.json)
  --package NAME      Package name (default: from pyproject.toml/package.json)
  --registry          pypi|npm|auto (default: auto-detected)
  --skip-tests        Skip the pytest/npm test step for quick checks
  --json              Output structured JSON for CI integration

Example output:

agentkit release-check — /your/project

┌────────────┬────────┬─────────────────────────────────┐
│ Check      │ Status │ Detail                          │
├────────────┼────────┼─────────────────────────────────┤
│ tests      │ ✓ PASS │ 42 passed in 1.23s              │
│ git_push   │ ✓ PASS │ Local HEAD abc12345 matches rem │
│ git_tag    │ ✓ PASS │ Tag v1.0.0 found on remote.     │
│ registry   │ ✓ PASS │ PyPI: mypkg==1.0.0 is live.    │
└────────────┴────────┴─────────────────────────────────┘

Verdict: SHIPPED

Verdict levels:

• SHIPPED — all 4 surfaces confirmed (exit 0)
• RELEASE-READY — tests + git confirmed, registry not yet live (exit 1)
• BUILT — tests pass locally, not yet pushed (exit 1)
• UNKNOWN — tests failing (exit 1)

Integrate with agentkit gate --release-check or agentkit run --release-check to add release verification to your pipeline.

Architecture

All quartet tool invocations (agentmd, agentlint, coderace, agentreflect) go through ToolAdapter in agentkit_cli/tools.py. This ensures canonical correct flags are used everywhere and flag-wiring bugs cannot recur across subcommands.

Run pytest -m smoke before any release to catch integration regressions.
