What’s Packmind

Packmind is a developer tool that fixes two big problems every AI-native engineer runs into:

​
1️⃣ “What do I even put in these AI instructions?”

Every tool expects its own inputs:
  • Copilot → .github/copilot-instructions.md, chat modes, reusable prompts
  • Claude → CLAUDE.md, commands, skills
  • Cursor → .cursor/rules/*.mdc
  • Kiro → .kiro/steering/*.md
  • (with more formats appearing every month…)
But your team’s actual standards aren’t stored anywhere:
  • architecture rules → buried in Slack or Notion
  • naming conventions → stuck in your head
  • patterns → hiding in PR comments
  • best practices → scattered across repos
👉 Packmind helps you turn all of this into a real engineering playbook
(standards, commands, skills) so AI agents finally code your way.

​
2️⃣ “Why am I copy-pasting this across every repo and every agent?”

Every repo.
Every assistant.
Different files, different folders, different formats. Keeping everything in sync is impossible. 👉 Packmind centralizes your playbook once — and distributes it everywhere, generating the exact instruction files each AI tool needs, optimized for context.

​
Getting Started

​
Quick Start

  1. Create your Packmind account or set up self-hosted
  2. Install the CLI and authenticate
  3. Run /packmind-onboard in your AI coding assistant
The /packmind-onboard command will guide your AI agent to automatically analyze your codebase and create standards and commands based on the patterns it discovers.

​
What Happens During Onboarding

When you run /packmind-onboard, the AI agent will:
  • 📁 Scan your repository — Detect tech stack, frameworks, and coding patterns
  • 📝 Generate standards — Create up to 5 coding standards from your conventions
  • ⚡ Create commands — Build up to 5 reusable commands from common workflows
  • 📦 Package everything — Organize artifacts for easy distribution
All generated items are created as drafts first, giving you a chance to review before publishing.

​
Create Individual Artifacts

You can also create standards, commands, and skills individually using these AI agent commands:
  • /packmind-create-standard — Create a coding standard with AI guidance
  • /packmind-create-command — Create a reusable command workflow
  • /packmind-create-skill — Create a custom skill for your AI agents
Each command guides your AI agent through a structured creation process. Learn more about onboarding →
