@dadado/agent-kit-cli
Agent Kit CLI: HITL operating-layer install and tooling for AI-assisted IDEs (rules, skills, plan/handoff, staging-to-prod, memory). It installs local workspace contracts; it is not a hosted control plane or graph workflow runtime.
Install
From your project root (Node.js 22.12+):
npx @dadado/agent-kit-cli@latest install
Use @latest so npx does not reuse a stale cached CLI. Pin a version when you need a reproducible install:
npx @dadado/[email protected] install
Optional L1 packs:
npx @dadado/agent-kit-cli@latest install --pack clean-code,context-management
Install writes L0 kit files under .cursor/, plus autogit/ and .cursor/agent-kit.json. It does not copy the Agent Kit monorepo into your project.
After install, in Cursor run /agent-kit-onboard, then /start-project when you have a deliverable.
Mission Control
From package version 4.8.2 onward, this npm package includes Mission Control panel assets under dashboard/. In a consumer workspace after install:
agent-kit dashboard
The panel binds to loopback by default, serves its own static files, and snapshots the current workspace. L0 install does not copy dashboard/ into your app; agent-kit dashboard resolves the panel from the installed package.
Browser-free: agent-kit mission-control is a third surface (ASCII Mission, Flight Log, Checklist, Crew Monitor) that reuses the same snapshot builders without starting the HTTP server. agent-kit mission-control --once prints one frame (Claude Code /agent-kit). The web dashboard stays shipped.
Older tags before 4.8.2 do not include those assets. Prefer a current pin, or point MISSION_CONTROL_KIT_ROOT / AGENT_KIT_HOME at an agent-kit checkout that contains dashboard/.
Bare invoke (welcome)
With no subcommand, agent-kit prints a branded Mission Kit welcome (ASCII helmet, version, and short utility hints) then exits. Technical identifiers stay agent-kit / @dadado/agent-kit-cli.
agent-kit
# → welcome + hints (doctor, status, dashboard, init, --help)
agent-kit --help
# → grouped command list (SETUP / MISSION / DASHBOARD / INTEGRITY)
NO_COLOR=1 agent-kit
# → plain text (no ANSI); also plain when stdout is not a TTY or CI=1
Subcommands and agent-kit --version are unchanged. agent-kit run <slash> starts those project slashes headless from .cursor/commands/ (numbered-list HITL). agent-kit run-plan-all is a first-class alias of agent-kit run run-plan-all. Typing /run-plan-all in zsh is a filesystem path. /git-prod and /kit-prod stay operator-gated and are omitted from that catalog. Factory /kit-staging is not a catalog slash either (factory disk / landing wraps only).
On an interactive TTY, long-running commands (init, install, doctor, update, run-plan ticks) show an in-process ANSI spinner plus a rotating Mission Kit tip. Set AGENT_KIT_REDUCED_MOTION=1 for static text on a capable TTY. Runtime dependencies stay @clack/prompts, citty, and kolorist (no ora / figlet / chalk / ink). Window titles for agent-kit dashboard and agent-kit dashboard-broadcast use the workspace basename, not the CLI package folder.
Common commands
| Command | Purpose |
|---|---|
agent-kit install | Bootstrap L0 (+ optional packs) and write agent-kit.json |
agent-kit status | Show installed kit version and profile |
agent-kit doctor | Diagnose repository readiness (--json includes an env pillar: bin-on-PATH, npm prefix writability, Node version, shell profile) |
agent-kit setup-global | Self-heal a root-owned npm global prefix (relocate to ~/.npm-global, fix PATH, reinstall) |
agent-kit update | Re-apply L0/packs/skills from the registry |
agent-kit dashboard | Start Mission Control for this workspace (browser panel) |
agent-kit mission-control | ASCII Mission Control TUI (--once for one frame) |
agent-kit add <id> | Install a skill or L1 pack |
agent-kit run <slash> | One headless session from an L0 slash file (numbered-list HITL; never git-prod) |
agent-kit run-plan | Headless continuous plan runner (never promotes to production) |
agent-kit run-plan-all | Headless /run-plan-all queue from the L0 file (same as run run-plan-all; never git-prod) |
Run agent-kit --help or agent-kit <command> --help for the full surface.
