Repositories

The agents-in-a-box ecosystem spans three repositories. Skills/installer/catalog live in their own standalone repo; the reflect long-term-memory system lives in its own public repo; the ainb tool consumes both as external sources.

The repos

Repo	What it holds	Consumed how
stevengonsalvez/agents-in-a-box	The ainb TUI/CLI unit manager (Rust workspace under ainb-tui/), the v2 JSON-RPC plugin system, and this documentation site.	—
stevengonsalvez/ainb-toolkit	The canonical home for the curated skills (skills/), agents (agents/), workflows (workflows/), utilities (utilities/), per-tool rule layouts, the external-dependencies.yaml manifest, the legacy bootstrap.js installer, and the generated catalog.yaml. Flattened at the repo root.	ainb browses + installs from it as a pinned external source; the agents-in-a-box release CI clones a pinned tag of it to generate the curated catalog-index.json release asset.
stevengonsalvez/ainb-reflect-memory	The reflect long-term-memory system — the Python retrieval/GraphRAG engine (at the repo root) plus its Claude plugin (under plugin/). Extracted out of agents-in-a-box into its own public repo.	Engine installs via uv tool install --upgrade 'git+https://github.com/stevengonsalvez/ainb-reflect-memory.git[graph]'; the plugin ships from the repo’s plugin/ dir; ainb reflect bootstrap installs the engine from that URL.

• Browsing & installing skills — ainb skill browse "" --catalog ainb reads the catalog-index.json published as an agents-in-a-box release asset. Each owned entry’s install URI is gh:stevengonsalvez/ainb-toolkit@<tag>/skills/<name>, pinning the ainb-toolkit ref the catalog was generated from.
• Authoring a skill or agent — open a PR against ainb-toolkit, then regenerate its catalog with bash bin/generate-catalog.sh.
• The reflect long-term-memory system was extracted to its own repo, stevengonsalvez/ainb-reflect-memory — the retrieval/GraphRAG engine sits at that repo’s root and its Claude plugin under plugin/. It is no longer in agents-in-a-box’s marketplace; the engine installs via uv tool install --upgrade 'git+https://github.com/stevengonsalvez/ainb-reflect-memory.git[graph]', and ainb reflect bootstrap installs it from that URL.

Pinning

The agents-in-a-box release CI pins a specific ainb-toolkit tag (AINB_TOOLKIT_REF in .github/workflows/release.yml). Bump it when adopting a new ainb-toolkit release so the published catalog and its install URIs move together.
