Aikito gives you one place to govern the context your coding agents share.

Manage instructions, skills, MCPs, subagents, and durable memory across agents, projects, and machines.

Quick Start

1. Install

With uv (recommended cross-platform) or Homebrew (macOS / Linux):

uv tool install aikito
# or: brew install lsaint/tap/aikito

2. Set Up Your Workspace

Bring your existing Agent setup under Aikito in 30 seconds:

aikito init workspace ~/aikito
aikito adopt  # use --dry-run to preview, --verbose for full paths
aikito sync
aikito status

adopt and sync preflight their complete plans before writing. Starting from scratch? Simply skip aikito adopt.

On Windows, enable Developer Mode and see the Windows installation guide.

See the Result

aikito status shows synchronized context and durable memory across all agents and projects:

Workspace: ~/aikito (AIKITO_DIR)

Why Aikito

AI agent resources fragment in three directions:

• Across tools: each agent invents its own folders, memory formats, and config conventions.
• Across projects: reusable knowledge, skills, and instructions are copied or drift out of sync.
• Across time: valuable decisions and hard-won lessons disappear into ephemeral chat sessions.

Aikito keeps the source files in one personal Git workspace and connects selected resources to each agent and project. No background daemon, vector store, database, or hosted service is required.

Durable Memory

The bundled durable-memory skill guides agents to retrieve relevant notes, record verified conclusions, and update stale knowledge. Notes are plain Markdown files versioned by Git.

• Global scope: cross-project preferences, coding conventions, and tool practices.
• Project scope: architecture decisions, API policies, and local workflows.

See memory usage and opt-out and why memory needs a maintainer.

Safety & Boundaries

Aikito is local-first and predictable by design:

• Preflight before write: adopt and sync simulate and check operations before modifying files.
• Plain files & Git: no background service, no proprietary database, no implicit prompt injection.
• You govern secrets: workspace is a local Git repository; review secrets before pushing.

Detailed safety and boundary references:

• Safety model & backups
• Design boundaries & comparisons
