​
What Gets Installed

The init command installs the following components:
ComponentCountDescription
Agents20Specialist AI personas (frontend, backend, security, PM, QA, etc.)
Skills37Domain-specific knowledge modules
Workflows11Slash command procedures

​
Important Notes

If you are using AI-powered editors like Cursor or Windsurf, avoid adding the .agent/ folder to your .gitignore. This may prevent the IDE from indexing the workflows, causing slash commands (like /plan, /debug) to not appear in the chat suggestion dropdown.
To keep the .agent/ folder local (not tracked by Git) while maintaining AI functionality:
  1. Ensure .agent/ is NOT in your project’s .gitignore
  2. Instead, add it to your local exclude file: .git/info/exclude

​
After Installation

Once installation is complete, you can:
  • Use 20 specialist agents that are automatically detected and applied
  • Run 11 workflow slash commands (/plan, /debug, /create, etc.)
  • Leverage 37 skills that load automatically based on task context
Run ag-kit status to verify your installation.
