open-agent-kit
| Maintenance Mode | OAK automatically captures the plans, decisions, and trade-offs that usually vanish. Intelligence powered memories, context injection, autonomous agents, and more.
Install / Use
claude mcp add goondocks-co -- npx -y github:goondocks-co/open-agent-kitIf the server publishes to npm under a different name, use that package instead — check the repo README.

Our assessment of open-agent-kit
open-agent-kit scores 75/100 on our quality scale, 2620th of 2,863 Automation skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 3.6 KB long, well organised into 9 sections with 7 code examples: a solid amount of guidance for an agent.
It has 10 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 4 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- Our last check on 2026-10-21 found the source still online.
- It is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 95/100, with no cautions. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.

OAK is in maintenance mode. This project is no longer under active development. I have since started Myco, a new project originally inspired by ideas explored in OAK. Myco goes beyond memory and unlocks true intelligence for your project and your team.
Moving from OAK to Myco? See the migration guide.
Your Team's Memory in the Age of AI-Written Code
You architect. AI agents build. But the reasoning, trade-offs, and lessons learned disappear between sessions. OAK records the full development story — plans, decisions, gotchas, and context — creating a history that's semantically richer than git could ever be. Then autonomous OAK Agents and Skills turn that captured intelligence into better documentation, deeper insights, and ultimately higher quality software, faster.
