Agentic engineering kit: seven skills (context engineering, harness engineering, skill development, agent development, evals, sandboxing, fewer faster tests), most named by a short block a hook prints at the moment it applies; an agentic-engineer agent that starts with two of them loaded; /new-plugin, which makes your own plugin in a folder you pick; and /new-agent and /new-skill, which write the file into that plugin or the project from the skill's template, or hand your words to Claude with the skill loaded (a Claude Mod: needs CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1).

How a session works with you and with its subagents. Two session modes, each [on|off|status], answered with no model call, Claude told once at each switch and reminded by one line on each prompt while on, a label in the prompt footer: /orchestrate hands parts to subagents on another model (haiku · sonnet · opus); /ask answers and changes nothing, refusing Edit, Write and NotebookEdit while on. /modes:interview asks you rounds of AskUserQuestion until the direction is clear. /modes:align stops work in progress: it plays back what was built, names where it drifted from what you asked, and asks before any more changes.

What past sessions learned. An observer runs at SessionEnd (the plugin agent agents/observer.md, run headless) and writes observations as rows in the vault's store (~/.ak/db/brain.db); the next session opens on a 'since you were last here' digest; `observer search → timeline → get` recalls them in three layers and `patterns · fold · forget` curate them; a Read hook says when a file has prior observations. CLI: `observer status|mute|unmute|prompts|show|try|store|types|search|timeline|get|patterns|fold|forget|shadow`, also mounted as `observer …` when ak is installed. Shares only the vault's data paths with the other kit plugins.

The ak command, and ak setup, the kit's installer: it checks your machine, installs the plugins you pick, and takes a run back with ak setup undo. Its own verbs: plugin ls, inspect and log (what your plugins put in front of your agent) and hooks (which hook ran, when, how long); with the gateway, gateway, xray (the exact prompt a claude launch would send, as a dry run), sysprompt and shim. Every other kit plugin adds its verbs to it: the tracer's are ak sessions and ak trace. A uv tool, kept up to date when a session starts.

How you really work with Claude Code, rebuilt from the files it keeps on your machine. /insights:my-agentic-setup scans your sessions, settings, plugins, skills, hooks and the git repos Claude Code ran in, has AI readers in your own Claude Code session review the rule files and memory of your most active projects, and writes one local page. It opens on a written review of your setup: what works, what to change first, and why. Your level shows the level your laptop reads, a starting point a call confirms or raises; Level 3 and up need your own files to show it (AGENTIC_SETUP_NO_LEVEL=1 leaves the level out). Reads only; nothing leaves the machine unless you press Send on the page. Python 3.12+ or uv.

WebFetchRaw, a tool beside WebFetch: it fetches a URL and saves the page's own content to a file, with no model in between, and returns one line naming the file. WebFetch returns a small model's answer about the page. An HTML page is extracted to markdown, text or cleaned HTML by trafilatura; anything else (JSON, text, a PDF) is saved byte for byte. A Claude Mod (needs CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1) that runs a Python script through uv once per call. Shares nothing with the vault and needs no kit.
