A focused subset of my-agent-kit that ships only what you need for the design → code → test → review workflow. No multimedia, no MCP scaffolding, no research/marketing skills. Smaller install, fewer skills to remove.

Why Lite

Most coding sessions follow the same shape: design something, implement it, test it, review it. The full kit ships extras (research loops, multimedia, MCP authoring, marketing, mobile, payments, etc.) that solo devs don't always need. Lite drops those and keeps the core.

If you need the extras, switch to the full kit: npx my-agent-kit init . --upgrade --force.

Install

npx my-agent-kit-lite init

Run inside your project directory. Add --all for Copilot + Codex support.

Quick Start

cd your-project && claude

/mk:cook "add user authentication with Google OAuth"

The kit handles the rest: plan → implement → test → review → ready to ship.

What's Inside

| Component | Count | What | |---|---|---| | Agents | 7 | planner, ui-ux-designer, fullstack-developer, tester, code-reviewer, code-simplifier, git-manager | | Skills | ~18 | cook, fix, mk-plan, test, code-review, ship, scout, sequential-thinking, simplify, security-scan, mk-security, design, ui-styling, frontend-design, docs, docs-seeker, strip-identity, _shared | | Hooks | 7 | session-init, subagent-init, session-state, dev-rules-reminder, workflow-artifact-gate, simplify-gate, scout-block | | Rules | 4 | primary-workflow, development-rules, skill-workflow-routing, documentation-management |

Workflow

/mk:plan "feature X"      → planner + ui-ux-designer (design)
/mk:cook "feature X"      → plan → code → test → review (full pipeline)
/mk:fix "bug Y"           → same pipeline for fixes
/mk:test                  → run + verify tests
/mk:code-review           → review with JSON artifacts (workflow gate)
/mk:ship                  → finalize → commit/push

What's missing vs. full

Lite cuts: mk-autoresearch, mk-loop, mk-predict, mk-scenario, mk-debug, mk-help, multimedia (ai-artist, excalidraw, graphify, mermaidjs-v11, remotion, show-off, stitch, threejs, shader, media-processing), domain (shopify, better-auth, payment-integration, mobile-development, tanstack, react-best-practices), infra (backend-development, databases, deploy, devops, agent-browser, chrome-devtools, chrome-profile), MCP (mcp-builder, mcp-management, use-mcp, google-adk-python, gkg), process/meta skills, and 7 agents (brainstormer, debugger, docs-manager, journal-writer, mcp-manager, project-manager, researcher).

Need any of these? Switch to the full kit.

Workflow Artifact Gate

The lite kit includes the workflow artifact gate from full (v2.1.0). It turns mk:cook / mk:fix review into a file-backed contract: 5 JSON artifacts (context-snippets, risk-gate, verification, review-decision, adversarial-validation) must validate before any finalize / commit / ship / push / PR / deploy action.

Opt-in per project via .claude/.mk.json:

{ "hooks": { "workflow-artifact-gate": true } }

Cross-Tool Support

| Tool | Support | |---|---| | Claude Code | Full — CLAUDE.md + .claude/ | | GitHub Copilot | Full — reads .claude/ natively (VS Code 1.108+) | | Codex CLI | Good — AGENTS.md + .agents/skills/ symlink | | Cursor / Windsurf | Basic — reads AGENTS.md |

Switching between lite and full

# Lite → Full
npx my-agent-kit init . --upgrade --force

# Full → Lite
npx my-agent-kit-lite init . --upgrade --force

The --upgrade flag drops files from the other kit's metadata.json deletions[] list so you get a clean swap.
