PactKit — Spec-Driven Agentic DevOps Toolkit

PactKit offers two installation methods. Choose the one that fits your workflow.

Option A: Claude Code Plugin (Recommended)

The simplest way to install. No Python required.

# In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add pactkit/claude-code-plugin
/plugin install pactkit

Restart Claude Code. All 9 agents, 13 commands, and 3 skills are immediately available.


Update	Automatic via marketplace, or `/plugin update pactkit`
Uninstall	`/plugin uninstall pactkit`
Isolation	Plugin lives in its own cache directory, separate from `~/.claude/`
Team sharing	Add to `.claude/settings.json` — teammates get prompted to install

The plugin deploys all components. For selective deployment (e.g., disable certain agents or commands), use the pip method with pactkit.yaml.

Add the following to your project's .claude/settings.json to auto-prompt teammates:

{
  "extraKnownMarketplaces": {
    "pactkit": {
      "source": { "source": "github", "repo": "pactkit/claude-code-plugin" }
    }
  },
  "enabledPlugins": {
    "pactkit@pactkit": true
  }
}

Option B: pip Install

For users who want fine-grained control via pactkit.yaml.

Requirements

Python 3.10+
Claude Code CLI installed and configured

Install

pip install pactkit

Deploy

pactkit init

This deploys the complete toolkit to ~/.claude/:

Path	Contents
`CLAUDE.md`	Global constitution (references 6 rule modules)
`rules/`	6 modular rule files
`agents/`	9 agent definitions
`commands/`	13 command playbooks
`skills/`	3 skill tools with scripts

Selective Deployment

Edit ~/.claude/pactkit.yaml to disable specific components, then re-deploy:

pactkit update

See Configuration for details on pactkit.yaml.

Upgrade

pip install --upgrade pactkit
pactkit update

The update command re-deploys all files. Your custom rules (files without managed prefixes like 01- through 06-) are preserved.

Other Commands

# Check version
pactkit version

# Preview to custom directory
pactkit init -t /tmp/preview

# Generate a standalone plugin directory
pactkit init --format plugin -t ./pactkit-plugin

# Generate a marketplace repository
pactkit init --format marketplace -t ./pactkit-marketplace

Project Initialization

After installing PactKit (via either method), initialize each project you work on:

/project-init

This creates the governance structure (docs/specs/, docs/product/sprint_board.md, docs/architecture/graphs/, etc.) in your project directory.

Forgot to initialize? No problem — /project-plan and /project-doctor automatically detect uninitialized projects and handle it for you.
