About Kit

Kit is a runtime for programming agents that provides the model with a tool for writing and running programs. It integrates a terminal client, Agent Client Protocol (ACP) server, A2A endpoint, and subagent orchestrator in a single static binary, works with compatible editors, and can orchestrate other agent harnesses. Kit also supports loading verified Agent Plugin packages from local directories, fixed SHA-256 archives, or HTTPS Git repositories at a fixed full commit with a verified tag, and stores each conversation as an append-only JSONL transcript.
