Packmind is an engineering playbook tool that helps AI-native engineers to centralize and manage their team's coding standards, commands, and skills. It addresses the challenges of storing standards in various formats and locations, and automates the generation of instruction files for AI tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Cursor. With Packmind, users can create a real engineering playbook to ensure AI agents code according to their team's standards.

One Engineering Playbook. Synced Everywhere. For Every AI Coding Agent.

❗ The 2 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
  • ClaudeCLAUDE.md, commands, skills
  • Cursor.cursor/rules/*.mdc, commands, skills
  • AGENTS.mdAGENTS.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.

Get started

Choose your preferred setup option:

Option 1: Install the CLI (recommended)

Follow the instructions during the onboarding to connect to your Packmind organization You can find them at anytime in the Settings menu.

Once authenticated, run in your project:

$> packmind-cli init

Then, in your favorite ai coding agent, run:

/packmind-onboard

To create your first standards and commands from your codebase.

Option 2: Connect MCP server

The MCP server allows you to create and manage standards and commands directly from your AI agent (GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.).

  1. Go to Account Settings in Packmind
  2. Copy your MCP Access token
  3. Configure your AI agent with:
    • MCP server URL: {PACKMIND_URL}/mcp
    • Your MCP access token

Once set up, open your AI agent and use this prompt:

Start packmind onboarding

Your AI agent will guide you through creating your first coding standard interactively.
