📖 What Is CloudTeam AI-Toolkit?
CloudTeam AI-Toolkit is an enterprise-grade AI development framework that standardizes how development teams work with AI assistance. Instead of ad-hoc prompts and inconsistent workflows, every task follows proven patterns backed by compliance standards.
Core Philosophy
Specification → Implementation → Validation
Every change starts with clear requirements. Every implementation follows established patterns. Every deployment is validated against standards.

🚀 Installation
Prerequisites
- Claude Code (for AI agents and MCP integration)
- Node.js 18+ (for package management)
- Git (for version control)
Step 1: Global Installation
macOS/Linux:
npm install -g @cloudteam-dev/ai-toolkitThe installer automatically:
- Creates
~/.npm-globaldirectory if needed - Configures npm user-prefix
- Adds to shell PATH (
.zshrcor.bashrc)
Note: After install, restart terminal or run source ~/.zshrc (or source ~/.bashrc)
Windows:
npm install -g @cloudteam-dev/ai-toolkitNo additional setup needed — npm uses user folder by default.
Step 2: Initialize in Project
Navigate to your project directory:
cd my-project
# Initialize the toolkit
cteam-init
# or
cloudteam-ai-initThis copies framework files to your project:
your-project/
├── .claude/ # AI agents, commands, and skills
├── docs/ # Documentation templates
├── .mcp.json # MCP server configuration
├── CLAUDE.md # Project instructions for Claude
└── LICENSE # License informationStep 3: Initialize Documentation
CRITICAL: Before starting development:
/docs:initThis creates essential documentation structure:
code-standards.md- Coding standards and best practicescodebase-summary.md- High-level codebase overviewproject-overview-pdr.md- Product Development Requirementssystem-architecture.md- System architecture documentation
Step 4: Keep Updated
When new versions are released:
cteam-updateThis command:
- Checks npm registry for latest version
- Updates global package if newer version exists
- Re-syncs project files with latest toolkit

❓ FAQs
Q: Can I use this without Claude Code? A: No, Claude Code is required for AI agent functionality and MCP integration.
Q: Does this work with other IDEs? A: The framework is optimized for Claude Code but documentation and compliance tools work anywhere.
Q: How do I update to latest version?
A: Run cteam-update to check for updates and sync project files.
Q: Can I customize the agents?
A: Yes, edit agent files in .claude/agents/ or create new ones following the existing format.
Q: What's the difference between agents and skills? A: Agents are specialist AI personas for roles (Planner, Tester, etc.). Skills are reusable capability modules that agents and workflows invoke.
Q: Do I need all 61 skills? A: No, skills activate automatically when needed. No manual management required.
Q: How does compliance validation work? A: Framework includes ISO/CMMI standards that agents reference during implementation to ensure compliance.
Q: Can I use this for non-software projects? A: The framework is optimized for software development but documentation and planning workflows work for any project type.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Installation Issues
Problem: command not found: cteam-init
Solution:
- Restart terminal after installation
- Run
source ~/.zshrc(orsource ~/.bashrc) - Verify npm global bin is in PATH:
npm config get prefix
Problem: Permission errors on macOS/Linux
Solution: Never use sudo. Framework automatically configures user-prefix.
Problem: Old version installed after npm install -g (e.g. still showing v2.0.3)
Solution:
# Clear npm cache and force latest version
npm cache clean --force
npm uninstall -g @cloudteam-dev/ai-toolkit
npm install -g @cloudteam-dev/ai-toolkit@latest
# Verify version (shown in cteam-init output header)
cteam-init
# Should display: "CTEAM AI Kit Setup v2.1.x"Problem: pywin32 error on macOS/Linux during skills setup
Solution: Fixed in v2.1.1 — Windows-only packages are automatically skipped on macOS/Linux. Update to latest version.
MCP Server Issues
Problem: MCP servers not connecting Solution:
- Verify
.mcp.jsonconfiguration - Check MCP server packages are installed
- Restart Claude Code
Agent Not Responding
Problem: Agent not activating Solution:
- Check agent file exists in
.claude/agents/ - Restart Claude Code to reload configuration
