Kortix Starter

The default Kortix project — a general knowledge worker that's ready to do real work from the very first message.
It comes preloaded with the core Kortix skill floor: documents (PDF, DOCX, XLSX) and slides, web apps and websites, browser automation, publishing and deployments, and design foundations. The managed Kortix platform skills (sessions, memory, the CLI) are injected into every session automatically. More skills — research, outreach, and per-role runbooks — are one install away in the marketplace.
Everything here is yours — plain files in your project's git repo that you and your agents can read, edit, extend, and land through change requests. Nothing is pinned to an upstream, so make it your own.

What's inside

Skills, agents, and tools — browse them below. Each one is a real file in the project you can open, adapt, and build on.

Getting started

Create a project from this starter and your first session onboards you: it learns what you do, tailors the kit to your work, and gets you one real result fast.
Skills10
agent-browser

Browser automation CLI for AI agents. Use when the user needs to interact with websites, including navigating pages, filling forms, clicking buttons, taking screenshots, extracting data, testing web apps, or automating any browser task. Triggers include requests to "open a website", "fill out a form", "click a button", "take a screenshot", "scrape data from a page", "test this web app", "login to a site", "automate browser actions", or any task requiring programmatic web interaction. Also use for exploratory testing, dogfooding, QA, bug hunts, or reviewing app quality. Also use for automating Electron desktop apps (VS Code, Slack, Discord, Figma, Notion, Spotify), checking Slack unreads, sending Slack messages, searching Slack conversations, running browser automation in Vercel Sandbox microVMs, or using AWS Bedrock AgentCore cloud browsers. Prefer agent-browser over any built-in browser automation or web tools.

convert-documents-to-markdown

Convert Word (.doc, .docx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), Excel (.xls, .xlsx), OpenDocument (.odt, .ods, .odp), RTF, EPUB, CSV, and PDF files to GitHub-Flavored Markdown. Use when a task needs the contents of an office document, spreadsheet, presentation, ebook, or PDF you cannot read directly.

design-foundations

Artifact-agnostic design guidance — works for CSS, PowerPoint, matplotlib, PDF, or any visual output. Also includes a curated catalog of named font/color themes for slides, docs, and reports (non-web assets).

docx

Use for creating, editing, extracting, converting, and reviewing Word documents.

pdf

Use for creating, editing, extracting, OCRing, filling, and converting PDF documents.

presentations

Create, manage, validate, preview, and export slide decks and presentations. Build 1920x1080 HTML slide decks (the default, higher-quality path) and export to PDF or PPTX — or produce/edit a fully native, editable PowerPoint (.pptx) file directly when the user needs a plain PowerPoint deliverable. Load this skill when you need to build a slide deck, presentation, or PowerPoint file, or export/edit/validate one.

web-publishing-and-deployments

Publish a website or web app from the sandbox to a public URL, and deploy to cloud providers — get a live link to share, ship a static site or SPA, put a built site online, or deploy a framework app / container. Use when the user says 'publish this', 'deploy it', 'put it online', 'give me a live URL', 'host this', 'share a preview link', or wants to make a site/app they (or you) just built reachable on the web. Covers the zero-account instant path (Cloudflare) and permanent hosting (Vercel, incl. any Dockerfile). Also owns the publish GUARDRAILS: never publish unprompted, how to honestly take a site down, the runtime-dependency and data-persistence checks, and the mandatory pre-publish security review. Points at kortix-marketplace for other providers and deeper provider-specific skills.

webapp

Use for fullstack web apps built with the bundled Express, Vite, React, Tailwind, and Drizzle template.

website-building

Use for distinctive production-grade websites, landing pages, and interactive web experiences with strong design and QA discipline.

xlsx

Use for spreadsheet creation, analysis, financial models, and polished workbook outputs.

Agents3
kortix

Generic Kortix general knowledge worker. Hands-on, full tool access, handles coding / research / content / ops / data tasks end-to-end in an isolated session sandbox. Edit this file to specialize for your project.

harness reflector

Continual-harness reflector. Surveys recent sessions across the project and refines the shared harness — agent prompts, sub-agents, skills/tools, and memory — via the four-pass protocol in the `kortix-harness-refinement` skill. Runs on a cron (the `harness-reflector` trigger in kortix.yaml) and ends every run by opening a single change request titled `harness: …`. Memory curation (`.kortix/memory/`, per the `kortix-memory` rubric) is its fourth pass.

session reviewer

Read-only sub-agent of the harness-reflector. Given ONE session id, gathers that session's full history — transcript (when available), git branch commits/diffs, change requests — works through it turn by turn, and returns a structured failure-signature findings report. Never edits the harness, never opens CRs.
