What is Kenji?
Kenji is a CLI package manager for AI agent instructions. It installs reusable prompt files — called skills — into your projects, so you don't have to copy them manually between codebases.
How it works
When you install a skill, Kenji downloads Markdown files into a local .kenji/skills/ folder inside your project. AI tools like Claude, Cursor, or Copilot can then read these files as context when working in that codebase.
What Kenji supports
- Registry installs: Pull skills from the official Kenji registry or any community registry.
- GitHub installs: Install directly from GitHub repos, folders, or individual files.
- Global skills: Install once, reuse across any project without re-downloading.
- Stacks: Group multiple skills into a single shareable configuration.
