Getting started

AmbyKit runs as a CLI (ambykit) and as slash commands inside your AI coding assistant. This gets you from zero to your first artifact — a project constitution — in a few minutes.

Install the CLI.

npm install -g @ambystech/ambykit
# or run without installing:
npx @ambystech/ambykit init

Initialize your project. Pick the assistants you use; AmbyKit emits their native command files and a shared AGENTS.md.
Terminal window
```
ambykit init --tools=claude,cursor
```
Create the constitution. In your assistant, run the first phase — durable principles every later phase honors.
Terminal window
```
/amby.constitution
```
That writes .amby/constitution.md — your first artifact. 🎉
Start a feature. Turn an idea into a spec, then walk the workflow:
Terminal window
```
/amby.specify Add a password reset flow
```

From here, follow the workflow — specify → clarify → design → plan → tasks → analyze → implement — each phase producing a reviewable artifact before the next.
