Aikito gives you one governed source of context across coding agents, projects, and machines. It keeps instructions, skills, MCP definitions, subagents, and durable memory in one Git-managed workspace, with explicit scopes and a canonical source you can inspect, review, and synchronize to the agents you already use.
Aikito assumes you already use one or more coding agents and have accumulated instructions, MCP servers, or subagents that are becoming repetitive to maintain. Follow these steps to bring those resources into one source of truth without replacing the working setup before it is safe.
| Step | What you will achieve |
|---|---|
| 1. Install Aikito | Run the CLI from your terminal |
| 2. Adopt your existing setup | Import the resources your Agents already use |
| 3. Synchronize and verify | Connect the canonical resources back to every Agent |
| 4. Connect a project | Link an existing repository to the workspace |
Already installed? Start at the first step you have not completed.
Starting from scratch is supported, but it is not the primary tutorial. Create the workspace, skip adoption when nothing is detected, then connect a project or add a skill.
- Manage Skills.
- Manage Instructions.
- Keep useful decisions in memory.
- Manage MCP Servers or Manage Subagents.
- Stage notes in Inbox or distill conversations.
- Diagnose missing links, conflicts, or drift.
- Configure multiple project paths or copied skills.
- Connect an existing workspace on another machine.
Read Workspace and synchronization for file ownership and resource types, or Memory scope and lifecycle for what to retain and where. Use the CLI reference to look up commands, and the Safety model for write and recovery rules.
