Mission Kit Latest Mission Kit release

Development operations built into Cursor and VS Code.

A simple framework with built-in Project Management, DevSecOps, and full agent orchestration to plan, build, review, and ship anything to the real world without leaving the IDE.

Hooray! agent-kit 5 with Mission Control is now Mission Kit.

Timelapse: one hour of real coding with Mission Kit

Install the easy way

You are the installer for Agent Kit L0. Confirm the absolute workspace root path via Ask questions before any write operations. If Node.js and npx are available, run npx @dadado/agent-kit-cli install in the confirmed root directory. Otherwise, fetch the install contract from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/agent-kit-startup/agent-kit/main/install.md and follow the Port B instructions. Detect missing Node.js or Git and report either prerequisite. Preserve existing .cursor/ content. After successful installation, run or offer /agent-kit-onboard (SoT: .cursor/commands/agent-kit-onboard.md, install.md section 6). Use Ask questions for unresolved readiness choices and confirmations, with chat fallback when unavailable. Do not ask about skins, external review, or a first deliverable before essential readiness passes.

How it works

Mission Kit prompt handles setup end to end. If you like adventure, use the CLI: run npx @dadado/agent-kit-cli install in your project root, then agent-kit to check commands. Light setup with local files only and nothing global touched.

Easy onboarding, tailored to your codebase

Add files to a repo, open a new chat, and run /agent-kit-onboard. agent-kit reads your codebase and customizes rules, skills, commands, and dependencies for your stack. It also helps you set up Git flow, CI/CD, variables, secrets and more.

Agent orchestration inside your IDE, zero cost

Time for some action: /start-project with a goal. agent-kit invokes the PO to check previous work and context before planning anything. You choose whether to add the task to the backlog or execute the plan all the way.

As autonomous as you want it. You're the one running the show.

No fancy graphs or Jarvis bros loops. There are three levels of autonomy for agent teams: run single plans with /continue-plan to control every step; /run-plan asks the team to execute autonomously; /run-plan-all in a fresh window lets agent-kit Scrum Master handle planning and execution.

Never open Jira, Linear, or ClickUp again

Manage projects directly in the development flow. /backlog-add as many tasks as you want, then type /run-plan-all and let the PO organize, drop, merge, and queue tasks into a single execution plan. Approve the queue, go get a coffee.

Quality gates that actually run themselves

After each plan completes, agent-kit arms an external review: a second agent audits your deliverables against acceptance criteria, checks for regressions, and files its findings in the Field Report. /plan-review-triage lets you choose: write a residuals plan, fix nits inline, or acknowledge and move on. Mid-batch reviews run between queued plans so nothing compounds silently. You review findings, not diffs.

DevOps built into the workflow, not bolted on

Every completed phase runs the repository's formatter and linter before staging. Pass? Agent-kit commits with Conventional Commits, pushes a working branch, opens a merge request to staging, and merges it. One topic, one MR, zero manual git. /git-prod promotes approved staging to production after an explicit confirmation gate. Direct commits to main are blocked by convention and by hook.

Mission Control 5

Every mission has a cockpit. Invoke yours with /dashboard and have instant observability on what's happening from any browser.

All set for the next mission.

Mission Kit 5 packs a complete toolbox that makes painful work easy and a set of dashboards that make everything visible.

Memory

Decisions (ADR-lite), resolved errors, review audits, and the consolidated index. What the team learned persists across sessions, searchable by tag, date, or theme.

Health

A fixed check set: plans, HANDOFF freshness, agents, commands, memory, git, config. Each failing check ships its own fix hint. Green means go. Red tells you exactly what to touch.

Git

Staging vs production diff, recent merges, branch state, and hook status. See what's ahead of main, what's queued for prod, and whether your guards are active.

Skills

Every Agent Skill discovered under .cursor/skills/, with kit-managed and editable ones told apart. Drop in a SKILL.md and it shows up here.

Commands

The full slash-command inventory: what each does, which are yours to edit, and a copy-ready prompt to create new ones. No digging through .cursor/commands/ to remember what's installed.

Activity

See what's happening as you go: easy to browse active terminals, processes, git, agents and all the runtime at the tip of a finger.

Settings and updates from one place

The Config tab tunes cooldowns between ticks, audit preferences, agent persona, and external review behavior. Everything persists in a single config.json. Run agent-kit update to pull the latest commands, templates, and dashboard without losing your customizations.

Built with itself

Agent Kit is dogfooded daily. Every feature ships through the same /start-project to /git-prod pipeline it provides. Plans, reviews, triage, staging: the framework that builds your projects is built with the framework. Dogfood reports live under dogfood/ as real CI evidence.

Mission Kit 5 reads the same plain files in .cursor/ that your agents write, so what you see is what's actually on disk.
