Agent Engineering Kit

Agent Engineering Kit gives AI coding agents a compact, versioned set of engineering rules for working in real repositories. It helps agents preserve task scope, use evidence, respect project boundaries, and choose checks that observe the intended result.

Connect the kit once, then keep working in your project as usual. The agent reads only the rules relevant to the current task.

Install

You need Git and Windows PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7.

git clone https://github.com/Dmitryaf/agent-engineering-kit.git
Set-Location agent-engineering-kit

Connect a project

Run this command from the hub folder and provide the path to your project:

.\ai-rules.ps1 prompt connect -ProjectRoot C:\path\to\project

Copy the generated prompt into the AI agent working on that project. The agent will:

1. inspect the project;
2. select only the relevant rules;
3. show you the proposed changes;
4. wait for your approval;
5. connect the rules and verify the result.

Then return to your normal project work. You do not need to learn how the kit works or select rule files manually.

For a deep project audit later, generate a dedicated prompt:

.\ai-rules.ps1 prompt deep-audit -ProjectRoot C:\path\to\project

Update rules

Preview the available changes:

.\ai-rules.ps1 update -ProjectRoot C:\path\to\project

If they look correct, apply them:

.\ai-rules.ps1 update -ProjectRoot C:\path\to\project -Apply

The kit does not change your project without -Apply, overwrite rule files you changed manually, or run commit, push, or publishing commands.

Kit development

The architecture and low-level commands are documented in hub/ARCHITECTURE.md and sync/README.md. Contribution and security guidance is available in CONTRIBUTING.md and .github/SECURITY.md.

The verified minimum environment is Git with Windows PowerShell 5.1. Automated checks also cover pwsh on Windows and, experimentally, on Ubuntu. Linux support is not yet declared.
