Getting started
Introduction
A local-first context and continuity layer for terminal AI agents.
ClaudeKit CLI records the work you explicitly launch, prepares focused local context, and leaves a usable checkpoint when you need to continue later or in another terminal agent.
Install
npm install --global @claudekit/cli
ck doctorWhat it is
ClaudeKit sits beside your terminal agent. It can launch Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Gemini CLI for supported enterprise or API configurations, OpenCode, or another local command through a single tracked workflow.
- Record the locally launched session, duration, exit status, and changed files.
- Build a focused context pack from a repository before you start a task.
- Save Markdown checkpoints and handoffs for a later session or another agent.
- Inspect static import impact, conservative unused-file candidates, and sibling-repository relationships.
What stays local
Your repository, prompts, project memory, session records, context packs, checkpoints, and handoffs stay in local ClaudeKit state. ClaudeKit does not upload them.
Next steps
- Install and verify ClaudeKit CLI.
- Run the five-minute quick start in a repository.
- Learn how context packs work before a larger task.
