Installation

Prerequisites

Before installing my-kit, ensure you have:

Tool	Purpose	Required
Claude Code	AI coding assistant	Yes
Git	Version control	Yes
GNU Stow	Symlink manager	Yes
GitHub CLI (gh)	GitHub operations	For ship commands
Bun or Node.js	JS/TS runtime	For JS/TS projects

Install

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/mayknxyz/my-kit.git ~/.my-kit

2. Stow the kit into your home directory:

   cd ~/.my-kit && stow -t ~ .

   This creates symlinks so Claude Code can discover my-kit’s commands and skills globally.

3. Verify the installation:

   ls -la ~/.claude/commands/mykit.*.md

   You should see symlinks for all 29 commands.

Initialize a Project

Run init inside any project to set up my-kit’s project-level configuration:

cd your-project
/mykit.init

This creates project-specific settings and ensures Claude Code picks up my-kit’s skills for your stack.

Upgrade

Pull the latest changes and re-stow:

cd ~/.my-kit && git pull && stow -t ~ .

Uninstall

Remove the symlinks and delete the clone:

cd ~/.my-kit && stow -D -t ~ . && cd ~ && rm -rf ~/.my-kit

Caution

Uninstalling removes all my-kit commands and skills from Claude Code. Project-level configs (like .claude/ settings) are not affected.

Troubleshooting

• Stow conflicts — If stow reports conflicts, another file may exist at the symlink target. See Installation Issues.
• Commands not found — Ensure Claude Code is restarted after installing. Run /mykit.status to verify.
• Permission errors — Make sure ~/.my-kit is owned by your user, not root.
