What is AuraKit?
**One command. Full-stack app. Production-ready.**
AuraKit is a Claude Code skill that replaces 20+ manual instructions with a single /aura command. It auto-detects what you need, scans your project, generates code with security checks on every file, and commits — all in one shot.
> [!TIP]
> **30-second install** → npx @smorky85/aurakit or bash install.sh (v2.0), then type /aura in any project. jq, Python, and git are auto-detected and installed if missing.

🔄 Before & After
❌ Without AuraKit
✅ With AuraKit
---
⚡ Quick Start
**1 — Install** (choose one)
> [!NOTE]
> All install methods auto-activate L3~L5 security hooks. **install.sh v2.0** auto-detects and installs: jq (winget/scoop/choco/brew/apt/dnf/yum/apk/pacman), checks Node.js, Python, and git. Configures settings.json via Python-first (jq fallback). Installs the AuraKit Nexus status bar.
**2 — Use**
> [!WARNING]
> **What --dangerously-skip-permissions means:** Claude won't ask for confirmation on each tool use. This is intentional — AuraKit's hooks (bash-guard.js, security-scan.sh) replace per-action dialogs with automated enforcement. **Without install.sh, security relies only on L1/L2 (agent role isolation + tool blocklist).**
>
> **Safer first-time alternative:** Run claude without the flag. Claude will ask for permission on each Write/Edit/Bash call.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Security rules in ~/.claude/rules/aurakit-security.md are **always active** — applied to every Claude Code session automatically, even without running /aura.
**3 — Update** (existing users)
> [!TIP]
> Running the update command re-runs install.sh automatically — hooks, skills, and security rules are all refreshed in place. Your .aura/ project data (memory, instincts, snapshots) is **never overwritten**.

🎯 46 Modes
AuraKit detects your intent from natural language. Use a namespace prefix (build:, fix:) when the mode is ambiguous.
5 Core Modes — covers 90% of daily use
| Mode | Invoke | What It Does |
|:-----|:-------|:-------------|
| **BUILD** | /aura build: ... or just describe it | Discovery → micro-plan → generate → triple verify → commit |
| **FIX** | /aura fix: ... or paste the error | Root-cause analysis → minimal change → verify |
