AI Stack Kit

Manage skills, subagents, and hooks from your IDE (VS Code or Cursor) — search catalogs, edit your stack, and sync to Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Claude without a global CLI install.

Install

Visual Studio Marketplace — use Install on that page (VS Code 1.85+ or Cursor).

Features

• Modules tree — Project and Profile groups (spec.yaml and ~/.aistack/spec.yaml)
• Outputs tree — generated paths for project and profile specs
• Catalog webview — Add to project or Add to profile from the bundled skill index
• Commands — Initialize, Sync, Doctor, Search/Add, Switch Client
• Settings — aiStackKit.clientType, aiStackKit.githubToken, aiStackKit.dryRun, aiStackKit.autoSyncOnSave

Quick start

1. Open a project folder.
2. Run AI Stack Kit: Initialize Workspace from the Command Palette.
3. Browse Catalog — Add to project or Add to profile — or run Search Catalog….
4. Run Sync (status bar: $(sync) AI Stack) — syncs project and profile specs when both exist.

Open the AI Stack Kit icon on the Activity Bar (far left) for Modules → Catalog → Outputs. The globe on Catalog opens the hosted skill browser in your browser.

Settings
