A coding agent that gets out of your way.

Kit is a fast, keyboard-first workspace for coding with agents. Keep the conversation, tools, diffs, and review loop where the work already happens.

Use Mica, but keep the site unmistakably Kit.
Changes

I’ll preserve the terminal-first visual language and use Mica for the responsive layout, spacing, and controls.

4 tool calls read · grep · edit · bash
Make the preview match Kit’s actual session UI.

Updated the shell anatomy: session header, transcript rails, tool drawer, composer, and repository status.

Ask kit to do something...
~/Developer/kit (main*)

Built for the terminal, not squeezed into it.

Kit is a standalone TUI, not a browser tab or an editor sidebar. The interface stays quick, legible, and close to your repository.

  • Keyboard-driven with thoughtful mouse support
  • Persistent, project-aware sessions
  • Full-screen diff browsing and code review
  • Headless print mode for scripts and pipelines

Everything you need to stay productive.

Code review, built in

Inspect working trees, commits, and branches. Leave file, line, or range notes, then attach the structured review to your next message.

Sessions that move

Use /cd to move the same session, or let the agent call change_cwd when the work shifts. Kit keeps the transcript and reloads project context for the new repo or package.

A shared scratchpad

Keep autosaved notes beside the conversation. The agent sees them as read-only context, so your working notes stay useful and remain yours.

An ergonomic pager

Read long agent responses section by section. Leave notes as you go, then attach the collected feedback to your next message.

Extensible with plugins

Add user or project TypeScript plugins that register commands and agent tools, react to runtime events, enforce tool policies, and contribute to Kit’s interface.

Install once. Start anywhere.

Kit resumes the latest session for the current project, or starts a new one.

brew install akonwi/tap/kit
