What is OrchestKit?
The complete AI development toolkit for Claude Code — 103 skills, 36 agents, 146 hooks working together.
OrchestKit is a Claude Code plugin that gives your AI assistant deep expertise in software engineering. Instead of explaining your stack on every prompt, OrchestKit injects the right knowledge at the right time.
Before vs After
| Without OrchestKit | With OrchestKit |
|---|---|
| "Use FastAPI with async, SQLAlchemy 2.0..." | Just describe the feature |
| Manual code review checklists | /ork:review-pr runs 3 agents in parallel |
| Copy-paste commit conventions | /ork:commit writes conventional commits |
| "Remember to check OWASP..." | Security hooks fire automatically |
| Context lost between sessions | 3-tier memory persists everything |
How It Works
When you type a prompt, OrchestKit works in three layers:
Hooks (106) fire automatically
Security gates, auto-lint, and memory injection run on every action — you never invoke them directly.
Agents (35) activate from keywords
Say "review PR" and security-auditor spawns. Say "design API" and backend-architect activates. Multiple agents can run in parallel.
Skills (98) inject into agents
Reusable knowledge — FastAPI patterns, React hooks, OWASP checklist, RAG strategies — loaded on demand by whichever agent needs them.
One Plugin
OrchestKit ships as a single plugin: ork — 103 skills, 36 agents, 146 hooks.
Next Steps
Configuration
Environment variables, MCP servers, and memory tier setup.
The 3 Building Blocks
Skills are knowledge, agents are specialists, hooks are automation. Here's how they work together.
