Summary
Explain Agent Client Protocol at the top of the README, make MCP setup discoverable through direct agent prompts, and show why Kit can orchestrate specialist external harnesses.
Add a bundled migration guide that helps Claude Code and Codex users translate instructions, skills, MCP servers, and subagent configuration without copying credentials or assuming incompatible security settings carry over.
Motivation
The existing README introduced ACP and external harnesses without enough context for newcomers, while MCP and migration guidance required users to infer configuration paths and workflows. The new onboarding path makes those capabilities actionable from a Kit session.
Impact
Users get a clearer quick start, self-service MCP setup, and version-matched migration guidance available through Kit's bundled documentation search. The bundled documentation change bumps Kit to 0.1.122.
macOS project generation now derives its untracked version configuration from
Cargo.toml, removing a redundant file update from future version bumps while preserving generated-project drift checks.Technical details
External harness authentication
The docs distinguish Kit provider credentials from the Claude ACP adapter's separate subscription or Anthropic Console authentication. An Opus-backed
designeralias demonstrates bounded specialist delegation while Kit remains the orchestrator.Assisted migration boundaries
The migration guide maps Claude Code and Codex configuration into Kit's supported destinations, calls out instruction-discovery and MCP environment-expansion differences, and directs agents to preserve source files and recreate credentials through Kit.
Automatic macOS version configuration
macos/Config/Version.xcconfigis generated and ignored instead of checked in. CI and release builds already runscripts/generate-macos-project.sh, which writes the current Cargo package version before XcodeGen and the macOS build; CI continues to fail on actual Swift model or Xcode project drift.
