Kinnoo agent CLI and scaffolding tools

Kinnoo

Kinnoo is a CLI-first platform for packaging, sharing, and installing AI agents with explicit manifest and trust controls.

Kinnoo is the lifecycle, security, and distribution harness for AI agents: define a standard manifest, package reproducible artifacts, enforce trust checks, and distribute through a registry so agents can be installed and run consistently across environments.

It is designed for AI agent developers building CLI-runnable agents who need one reliable control plane across local development and registry distribution. Kinnoo provides a standard manifest contract (kinnoo.yaml), reproducible archive workflows (.kno), trust gates for publish/install, and consistent install/run paths for end users.

What Kinnoo Is

• Strong lifecycle harness: scaffold, run, test, inspect, pack, fetch, publish, install, and uninstall with one CLI.
• Strong contract harness: kinnoo.yaml provides a framework-agnostic manifest with validation and predictable runtime expectations.
• Strong trust harness: integrity verification, optional signing, strict trust gates, and inspection-first workflows before install/run.
• Strong distribution harness: registry auth, publish/search/list/install flows, and versioned artifact distribution for teams.
• Framework portability: build and ship agents across common framework families with consistent packaging and operator UX.

What Kinnoo Is Not

• Not a foundation model or model-hosting service.
• Not a replacement for framework-level orchestration (planner logic, tool routing, memory/retrieval strategy).
• Not a UI-only chatbot builder; Kinnoo focuses on CLI-runnable agent lifecycle workflows.
• Not a guarantee of agent quality by itself; it gives reproducibility and trust controls and provides a framework for running tests on your agents, but evaluation quality still depends on your tests and runtime design.
