dev.kit: The Thin Empowerment Layer

Experienced engineering flow with high-fidelity, deterministic results.

dev.kit resolves the Drift (intent divergence) by Normalizing it into a deterministic path and Iterating to resolution. It acts as a Thin Empowerment Layer that bridges human intent with repository truth via Context-Driven Engineering (CDE).

1. Grounding (The Bridge)

Intent is mapped to repo-specific logic and normalized into a deterministic execution plan.

2. Normalization (The Gate)

Capabilities are resolved at runtime through a Dynamic Discovery Engine that scans script headers and skills.

3. Execution (The Engine)

AI iterates through instruction steps with deterministic validation and real-time status updates.

Standard Engineering Flow

dev.kit provides a Thin Empowerment Layer that bridges chaotic intent with deterministic repository functions.

Phase	Description	Implementation
1. Grounding	UDX Worker provides the isolated, pre-hydrated base environment.	udx/worker
2. Discovery	Skill Mesh resolves internal commands and @udx NPM packages.	@udx/mcurl
3. Normalize	AI Reasoning Skills transform intent into a bounded workflow.md.	SKILL.md
4. Execute	Deterministic Primitives execute the logic within the CLI boundary.	lib/commands/
