context-kit · welcome

Set up your project so an AI assistant can build with direction.

1.Welcome

context-kit helps your AI coding assistant remember what you're building across sessions. Without it, the AI starts cold every time, drifts, and hallucinates confidently. With it, the project stays coherent.

This wizard walks you through setting up your first project. You'll type your idea once; we'll generate the right files and tell you exactly which terminal commands to run.

If you'd rather use the CLI directly, every step shows the command. Skip the wizard whenever you want.

2.Where will the project live?

We'll create a folder under your current working directory:

cwd: …

3.What are you building?

Be plain. The AI will read this verbatim. Skip anything that doesn't apply.

4.Save your idea.md

Here's what we'll write. You can go back and edit any field.

(loading)

Target: …

5.Initialize the project

Run this in your terminal (in the folder where you started context-kit):

context-kit init "…"

After it finishes, click below. We'll verify the project files exist.

6.(optional) See the recommended stack

If you skipped Tech stack above (or want a second opinion), run:

context-kit recommend-stack …

Read the recommendation in your terminal. Then click below. (You can also skip this — seed auto-fills the stack section if you didn't write one.)

7.Seed the project

Bake your idea into the project's load-bearing files:

context-kit seed …

After it finishes, click below. We'll verify docs/BUILD_PLAN.md exists.

8.Check your environment + you're ready

Last thing before you build: verify your environment is set up (Python, git, Node, Expo, file watchers, etc.):

context-kit doctor

Warnings here are fine on a first run. Only the red X blocking lines need attention.

You're set up.

Open this folder in your AI coding tool. If you use Claude Code, run claude; the bundled skill should load automatically. If you use a different AI tool, point it at this folder — it just won't auto-load the skill.

Whenever you come back, run context-kit start again to resume or to view your project.
