What is AI-First Toolkit?

AI-First Toolkit is a collection of open-source Claude Code skills and Codex skills for AI-first work. Use it to audit existing projects, re-engineer them around AI, and bootstrap new projects with AI-first design principles baked in from the start.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what AI-First Toolkit does well

  • Practical skills for auditing and bootstrapping projects
  • Works with both Claude Code and Codex
  • Encodes AI-first design principles into real workflows

Cons: where it falls short

  • Requires an agent setup like Claude Code or Codex
  • Best results need some engineering judgment

Who AI-First Toolkit is for

Developers who want to design and rework projects with AI at the center.

Who can skip it

Teams not yet working with coding agents.
