plugin-kit-ai

Build a plugin once. Ship it to multiple AI agents from one repo. plugin-kit-ai is the home for our first-party plugin lineup and the open-source toolkit behind it.

One repo
Clear workflow
Open Source

A clean path from one plugin repo to many agents

Plain-language positioning, honest boundaries, and a workflow that stays manageable as the product grows.

One repo instead of scattered setup

Keep one plugin repo as the source of truth instead of copying the same logic into separate agent-specific folders.

Start with one strong path, add more later

Begin with the output that matters now, then expand to more supported agents when your product actually needs it.

Validate before handoff

Use a repeatable render and validate flow before another teammate, CI job, or end user touches the plugin.

Honest stable vs beta boundary

plugin-kit-ai is explicit about what is production-ready, what is public beta, and where you should not promise fake parity yet.

Clear install and release path

Homebrew, npm, pipx when published, verified install script, GitHub releases, and docs all point to one clean starting flow.

Open source from day one

Use the toolkit today, inspect the source, and follow a transparent workflow while our first-party plugin catalog grows.

Our first plugins start here

A first-party lineup designed for real repo work, with clear badges for the agent ecosystems each idea is meant to support.

Get started

Pick an install path, open the docs, and start from one clean plugin repo.

Recommended quickstart

This is the fastest supported path from install to a validated repo.

01

Install the CLI

Command
brew install 777genius/homebrew-plugin-kit-ai/plugin-kit-ai plugin-kit-ai version

Homebrew is the recommended local install path for the CLI itself.

02

Create the strongest default repo first

Command
plugin-kit-ai init my-plugin cd my-plugin

The default path starts with the strongest supported production story.

03

Render managed target files

Command
plugin-kit-ai render .

Generate the managed target artifacts from one authored repo.

04

Validate before handoff

Command
plugin-kit-ai validate . --platform codex-runtime --strict

Use the strict validation gate before CI, teammate handoff, or release.

Support snapshot

Real support depth today, based on the current support policy and target matrix.

Claude plugin package

Production-ready stable subset

Production-ready within the stable default hook subset, plus package metadata and settings surfaces.

Codex runtime and package lanes

Production-ready

Codex runtime notify lane and the official Codex package lane are both production-ready.

Gemini extension lane

Public beta

Extension packaging is supported, but the overall lane is still not production-ready.

OpenCode workspace lane

Packaging-only target

Workspace config, plugins, and MCP are supported, but this is not a production-ready runtime target.

Cursor workspace lane

Packaging-only target

Project rules and MCP config are supported as a strict workspace-config lane.

Homebrew

Recommended

Recommended local install for machines that already use Homebrew.

Command
brew install 777genius/homebrew-plugin-kit-ai/plugin-kit-ai

Best default when Homebrew is available.

Open

npm

Official JavaScript ecosystem wrapper for teams that already center their workflow on npm.

Command
npm i -g plugin-kit-ai

Public-beta wrapper that downloads the matching verified release binary.

Open

pipx

Python ecosystem wrapper when the corresponding release is published to PyPI.

Command
pipx install plugin-kit-ai

Public-beta wrapper. Use this channel only when the target release is available on PyPI.

Open

Verified install script

Fallback bootstrap path that resolves the latest published stable release and verifies checksums.

Command
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/777genius/plugin-kit-ai/main/scripts/install.sh | sh

Good when package-manager setup is not what you want first.

Open

GitHub Releases

Browse published release notes, artifacts, and version history directly.

Command
https://github.com/777genius/plugin-kit-ai/releases

Use this when you want the raw release surface.

Open

Docs quickstart

Jump straight into the quickstart and the broader docs site.

Command
plugin-kit-ai init my-plugin

Best next step once the CLI is installed.

Why it works

Not a fight against competitors. Just a practical comparison against the three ways plugin teams usually create unnecessary drift.

Workflow
plugin-kit-ai
Manual setup
Duplicated configs
One-off scripts
One repo for many agent outputs
One source of truth
New setup per agent
Possible, but drifts fast
Usually one local flow only
Validation before handoff
Built around validate --strict
Depends on human review
Same check repeated everywhere
Easy to miss edge cases
Clear stable vs beta boundary
Documented and explicit
Usually tribal knowledge
Ambiguity gets copied too
No shared contract
Add outputs later without starting over
Grow from the same repo
Possible, but rework-heavy
Every new output starts from scratch
Usually a rewrite
Clear install and release channels
Docs, releases, and install paths line up
You assemble the flow yourself
Possible, but repeated work
Mostly local and ad hoc
Team-friendly onboarding
Shared workflow and examples
Lives in people and chat
More files, same confusion
Hard to hand off cleanly
