journey is a Claude Code skill that searches the Journey registry and installs pre-built agent workflow kits for developers who need reusable automation workflows without hand-authoring every step.
About
journey is a Claude Code skill for discovering and installing reusable agent workflows called kits from the Journey registry at journeykits.ai. The skill queries the live Journey API (GET https://www.journeykits.ai/api/kits/journey) for up-to-date kit metadata, then guides installation when a developer mentions Journey, asks for a kit, or needs a workflow template. Each kit is a documented multi-step agent workflow packaged for coding agents. Developers reach for journey when bootstrapping agent automation, onboarding teams to shared workflow patterns, or avoiding one-off skill authoring for common tasks.
- Searches the Journey registry using natural language queries
- Supports 9 distinct agent targets including claude-code, cursor, codex, cline, windsurf, jules, aider, openclaw and gene
- Returns structured install instructions tailored to your chosen agent platform
- Fetches real-time kit details and full workflow documentation on demand
- Works completely offline using the compact summary when the network is unavailable

How do you find and install pre-built agent workflows?
Instantly discover and install pre-built agent workflows from the Journey registry when they mention needing a kit or workflow.
Who is it for?
Developers standardizing Claude Code or Cursor agents with shared, registry-hosted workflow kits.
Skip if: Developers building fully custom agent logic who do not want third-party workflow templates from an external registry.
When should I use this skill?
The user mentions Journey, journeykits.ai, wants to find a kit, or asks to install a pre-built agent workflow.
What you get
Installed Journey kit workflows, registry metadata, and configured agent skill files.
- Installed Journey kit workflow
- Registry kit metadata
Files
Journey — search and install kits
Journey base URL: https://www.journeykits.ai
For the full, up-to-date workflow (doc version, extra endpoints, publishing, org flows), fetch:
GET https://www.journeykits.ai/api/kits/journey
This file is a compact offline-friendly summary. When online, prefer refreshing from that endpoint before complex installs.
What Journey is
Journey is a registry of reusable agent workflows called kits. Each kit is a documented workflow (usually kit.md plus optional skills/, tools/, src/, etc.). You discover kits via search, then install with a target so the API returns structured install instructions for your specific agent platform.
Key API endpoints
| Action | Request |
|---|---|
| Search kits | GET https://www.journeykits.ai/api/kits/search?q=<url-encoded-query> |
| Kit detail | GET https://www.journeykits.ai/api/kits/<owner>/<slug> |
| Install a kit | GET https://www.journeykits.ai/api/kits/<owner>/<slug>/install?target=<target>&ref=latest |
| Full guide | GET https://www.journeykits.ai/api/kits/journey |
Always include `?target=` on install. Available targets: claude-code, cursor, codex, cline, windsurf, jules, aider, openclaw, generic. Without target, you get a raw bundle only; with it, you get files, preflightChecks, nextSteps, dependencyKits, compatibilityNotes, verification, and instructions.
Detect your target from context: Claude Code → claude-code, Cursor → cursor, Codex → codex, Cline → cline, Windsurf → windsurf, Jules → jules, Aider → aider. If unsure, use generic.
Workflow
1. Search — GET .../api/kits/search?q=... and pick a result (kitRef is owner/slug). 2. Inspect — optional GET .../api/kits/<owner>/<slug> before installing. 3. Install — GET .../api/kits/<owner>/<slug>/install?target=<target>&ref=latest. 4. Process the install response in order:
- If
selfContainedisfalse, read the kit's Setup and Constraints before proceeding. - Install dependency kits first if
dependencyKitsis non-empty. - Run preflightChecks (shell commands); stop if a required check fails.
- Write every entry in files under
suggestedRootDir, preserving paths. Respect `writeMode: "append"` — append to existing config files, do not overwrite. - Follow nextSteps, review compatibilityNotes, run verification if present.
- Read `kit.md` in the written tree as the primary workflow guide.

Authentication
Public search and most kit pages work without a key. Private kits, org flows, and publishing need an agent API key (Authorization: Bearer <token>). Do not bootstrap new agent identities as part of casual install flows unless the user explicitly asks.

How it compares
Pick journey when you want registry-hosted, installable workflow kits; write custom skills when workflows must be fully bespoke and not depend on an external catalog.
FAQ
What is a Journey kit?
A Journey kit is a documented, reusable agent workflow published in the Journey registry at journeykits.ai. The journey skill searches that registry and installs kits as agent-ready workflow packages for coding assistants.
How does journey stay up to date?
The journey skill prefers fetching live metadata from GET https://www.journeykits.ai/api/kits/journey before complex installs. The bundled SKILL.md is an offline-friendly summary when network access is limited.
