Editor Setup

Download these config files to get Agentkit support in your AI code editor — autocomplete, context-aware suggestions, and SDK best practices out of the box.

Configs cover the Agent SDK and the companion elsai-agents-tools package. Install only what you use, then add the matching editor files.

Agent SDK

Install first:

pip install --extra-index-url https://elsai-agents.elsai.ai/root/ elsai-agents==0.3.1
pip install --extra-index-url https://core-packages.elsai.ai/root/elsai-model/ elsai-model==2.1.0
# Provider extras as needed, e.g. "elsai-model[openai]==2.1.0"

Prefer the LLM / Provider factory for models — see Model Providers.

Cursor

Cursor Rules.cursorrules

Global Cursor rules file for the Agentkit SDK. Teaches Cursor about the full SDK API surface — agents, tools, model providers, multi-agent patterns, hooks, streaming, structured output, and filesystem/execution permissions.

Place at.cursorrules (project root)

Download .cursorrules

Cursor MDCelsai-agents.mdc

Modular Cursor rule (.mdc format) for the Agentkit SDK. Can be scoped to specific file globs or applied project-wide via Cursor's rules panel.

Place at.cursor/rules/elsai-agents.mdc

GitHub Copilot

Copilotcopilot-instructions.md

Custom instructions for GitHub Copilot Chat. Teaches Copilot about the Agentkit SDK — core imports, tool patterns, multi-agent orchestration, hooks, sessions, structured output, and permissions.

Place at.github/copilot-instructions.md

Claude Code

Claude CodeCLAUDE.md

Project-level instructions for Claude Code (the Anthropic CLI). Add to your project root so Claude Code understands Agentkit SDK patterns — including filesystem and execution permissions — when you ask it to write agent code.

Claude SkillSKILL.md

Reusable Claude Code skill for the Agentkit SDK. Install into your global Claude skills directory to make the skill available across all your projects.

Prebuilt Tools (elsai-agents-tools)

Install the package first:

pip install --extra-index-url https://elsai-agents.elsai.ai/root/ elsai-agents-tools==0.3.0

Requires elsai-agents>=0.3.1 for sandbox execution and elsai-agents[a2a]>=0.3.1 for A2A client tools.

Then add the matching editor config so your AI assistant imports from elsai_tools instead of generating mock @tool stubs.

Cursor

Global Cursor rules file for elsai-agents-tools. Teaches Cursor about elsai_tools imports, registration, class-based providers, optional extras, plugin integration, and AgentConfig permissions for file/shell tools.
