Getting Started

Choose the path that matches your release line:

• v1 alpha: use the native CLI and signed local-release envelope. Start with the v1 alpha tutorial .
• v0 stable: retain the supported v0 installer or managed aibox workflow. See Installing for the compatibility path.

What v1 installs

A v1 distribution contains visible, reviewable project content:

• context/skills/ and the Python MCP servers shipped with those skills;
• context/schemas/, generated contracts, and state machines;
• .processkit/ profiles, installer contracts, and release metadata;
• harness projections owned at individual managed keys; and
• AGENTS.md, the provider-neutral agent entry point.

The installer records managed ownership in .processkit/state.json. New project entities and local overrides remain owned by the consuming project.

Runtime requirements

• Linux ARM64 GNU for the published alpha.5 native executable.
• Python 3.10 or newer and uv for the Python MCP runtime.
• Git and an MCP-capable harness for the normal agent workflow.
• curl, tar, and sha256sum for the tutorial.

Linux x86_64 and macOS native assets, a bootstrap installer, online release resolution, and native processkit doctor/processkit mcp commands are future work.
