AI Kit — Knowledge Hub

AI Kit is an open-source CLI that makes AI coding assistants actually useful. It auto-detects your project’s tech stack and generates tailored rules, skills, and workflows for Claude Code and Cursor — so every AI interaction follows your standards, from the first conversation.

npx @mikulgohil/ai-kit init

One command. 30 seconds. Your AI assistant goes from generic to project-aware.

20 Problems AI Kit Solves

Every team using AI coding assistants hits these problems. AI Kit solves each one.

The result without AI Kit: Teams spend more time fixing AI output than they save generating it.

What AI Kit Does

AI Kit scans your project once and generates everything the AI needs to be a productive team member:

1. Project-Aware Rules

AI Kit reads your package.json, config files, and directory structure to detect your exact stack — then generates rules tailored to it.

Rules are generated for both Claude Code (CLAUDE.md) and Cursor (.cursorrules + .cursor/rules/*.mdc).

2. 48 Auto-Discovered Skills

Skills are structured AI workflows that get applied automatically. You don’t type a command — the AI recognizes what you’re doing and loads the right skill.

Example: You say “create a ProductCard component.” The AI auto-loads the new-component skill, which:

• Asks 10 structured questions (props, Server/Client, data fetching, responsive needs…)
• Reads an existing component to match your project’s patterns
• Generates: component + types + tests + docs (if complex)
• Follows your exact conventions — because it read them

48 skills across 8 categories:

Skills work in both Claude Code and Cursor — same 48 workflows, both tools.

3. Hooks, Agents & Context Modes

New in v1.2.0 — three systems that make the AI work more like a real teammate:

Hooks — Automated quality checks that run as you code. Auto-format on save, TypeScript checks after edits, console.log warnings, git push safety, and mistakes auto-capture that logs build/lint failures to docs/mistakes-log.md. Three profiles: minimal, standard, strict.

Agents — 16 specialized AI assistants for delegation. Need a security audit? Delegate to @security-reviewer. Build failing? Send it to @build-resolver. CI pipeline red? Use @ci-debugger. Each agent has focused expertise and tools.

Context Modes — Switch between dev (build fast), review (check quality), and research (understand code) modes to change how the AI approaches your work.

4. AI That Enforces Standards Automatically

This is what makes AI Kit different from a static config file. The generated rules include active enforcement:

Prompt Quality Guard — When you write a vague request:

You: "fix the auth"
AI:  "I want to help. Which file has the auth issue?
      What's happening — login failing, session expiring, or an error?"

One clarification question prevents 10 minutes of wrong output.

Self-Enforcement — The AI does these automatically, even when you don’t ask:

Structured Output — Every skill produces output in the same format, every time:

• Role-specific expertise (security engineer for /security-check, a11y engineer for /accessibility-audit)
• Mandatory numbered steps the AI cannot skip
• Consistent output tables with file paths and line numbers
• Self-check before responding (“Did I cover every section?“)

5. Safe Updates

Your team adds custom rules above or below the generated content. When the stack changes, run ai-kit update — only the generated section refreshes, your custom rules stay untouched.

# My Team's Custom Rules        ← preserved on update
...
 
<!-- AI-KIT:START -->
[generated content]              ← refreshed on update
<!-- AI-KIT:END -->
 
# More Custom Rules              ← preserved on update

The Impact

Before AI Kit

After AI Kit

For a team of 5 developers: ~50-75% reduction in code review cycles, ~60-70% faster component creation, documentation that actually exists.

Quick Start

# Run in any project directory
npx @mikulgohil/ai-kit init
 
# Follow the interactive prompts (30 seconds)
# Done — your AI assistants now understand your project

What you get immediately:

• CLAUDE.md + .cursorrules — AI rules tailored to your stack
• 48 skills in .claude/skills/ + .cursor/skills/ — auto-discovered workflows
• 16 specialized agents + 3 context modes — delegation and focus control
• Hooks with mistakes auto-capture — quality checks that build your mistakes log
• 6 developer guides in ai-kit/guides/ — effective AI usage playbooks
• Documentation scaffolds in docs/ — structured logging templates
• ai-kit health — one-glance project health dashboard

Who Is This For?

Individual developers — Stop re-explaining context. Let AI Kit teach the AI your project once. Every conversation starts informed.

Tech leads — Enforce coding standards through AI tools instead of code review comments. Standards are followed automatically, not policed manually.

Teams — Same AI experience across every developer and every project. New hires get the same AI context as senior engineers.

Open source maintainers — Contributors get project-aware AI assistance from their first PR. Standards are in the repo, not in your head.

Works With Every AI Plan

AI Kit is free and open source. It works with every pricing tier of every supported tool — but the value scales differently depending on what you’re paying for.

Where AI Kit Adds the Most Value

Recommendations by Budget

On the $20/mo plan (Claude Pro or Cursor Pro)? This is AI Kit’s sweet spot. You have enough tokens to be productive but not enough to waste. AI Kit eliminates the #1 token sink — re-explaining your project every session. Use the /token-tips skill and enable the standard hook profile to maximize every interaction.

On a free plan or BYOK (Aider, Cline)? AI Kit is even more important here. With API costs per token, every wasted request is money lost. The generated rules, skills, and context modes ensure your AI gets it right the first time instead of needing 3 rounds of correction.

On the $100-200/mo plan (Max/Ultra)? You have the capacity — AI Kit ensures the quality matches. Multi-agent orchestration, 16 specialized agents, and quality gates become especially valuable when you’re running complex, multi-file tasks that cheaper plans can’t handle.

On a team plan? AI Kit pays for itself immediately. Without it, every developer on the team configures AI differently. With it, one ai-kit init and a git commit gives the entire team identical, project-aware AI assistance. The ROI scales linearly with team size.
