Specs & Interoperability

A core part of our vision is to create an open, interoperable ecosystem for AI-powered applications. We are moving toward a future where entire agentic systems can be version-controlled, shared, and remixed. Today, this vision is realized through Taskade AI Kits.

Taskade AI Kits: Available Today

AI Kits are the current implementation of bundled, shareable workflows that allow you to package projects, agents, automations, and templates into ready-to-deploy solutions. Anyone can install a kit and start using it in seconds.

What's in a Kit

A Taskade AI Kit bundles together all the components needed for a complete workflow:

Creating and Sharing Kits

You can create kits from any folder in your workspace:

  1. Package a Folder: Right-click any folder and select "Create Kit"

  2. Customize Contents: Add/remove projects, agents, automations, and templates

  3. Share Publicly: Enable public access to generate a shareable link

  4. One-Click Install: Others can install your kit with a single click

Kit Installation Process

When someone installs your kit:

  1. Preview: They can explore all components before installing

  2. Choose Workspace: Select which space to install the kit into

  3. Guided Setup: Interactive tour helps configure the kit for their use case

  4. Ready to Use: All components are connected and functional immediately

The Future: .tsk Standard

While AI Kits provide powerful bundling today, we're working toward an even more open standard: the Taskade System Kit (.tsk) format.

Vision for .tsk Files

my-crm-app.tsk/
β”œβ”€β”€ project.json      # Data schema and initial content
β”œβ”€β”€ agent.json        # AI agent configuration and commands  
β”œβ”€β”€ automation.json   # Workflow definitions and triggers
β”œβ”€β”€ knowledge/        # Training materials and context
β”‚   └── sales-playbook.pdf
└── meta.json         # App metadata and dependencies

Why This Matters for Developers

The future .tsk standard will unlock powerful new workflows:

  1. Version Control: Store entire application architectures in Git repositories

  2. Programmatic Creation: Build kits via CLI and API instead of just the UI

  3. Cross-Platform Compatibility: Export/import between different platforms

  4. Template Ecosystem: Community-driven marketplace of reusable patterns

  5. Headless Management: Fully automated deployment and management

Agent-Friendly APIs

We are also designing our APIs to be increasingly agent-friendly, exploring OpenAPI extensions like:

  • x-agent-action: Explicitly marking endpoints safe for autonomous agents

  • x-agent-hitl-required: Specifying when Human-in-the-Loop approval is needed

  • x-agent-context: Providing structured context for better agent decision-making

Developer Integration

Current Capabilities

Today, you can work with AI Kits through:

  • Web Interface: Create, customize, and share kits at taskade.com/kits

  • Kit Gallery: Browse and install from hundreds of pre-built kits

  • Public Sharing: Generate shareable links for one-click installation

  • Guided Setup: Interactive onboarding for kit recipients

Coming Soon: Programmatic Access

We're building API endpoints for programmatic kit management:

# Create a kit (planned)
curl -X POST https://www.taskade.com/api/v1/kits \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Custom CRM Kit",
    "description": "Complete customer relationship management system",
    "components": {
      "projects": ["project_id_1", "project_id_2"],
      "agents": ["agent_id_1"],
      "automations": ["automation_id_1", "automation_id_2"]
    }
  }'

# Install a kit (planned)
curl -X POST https://www.taskade.com/api/v1/kits/KIT_ID/install \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -d '{"workspace_id": "target_workspace"}'

LLM Integration Guidelines

Based on Taskade's LLM guidelines, when working with Taskade content:

Structured Output Format

  • Use Markdown with structured lists, checkboxes, and headings

  • Generate structured output (Project + Agent + Automation) for broad user intents

  • Prefer brevity, clarity, and utility in all outputs

Content Recommendations

  • Suggest appropriate project views: list, board, table, calendar, mindmap, gantt, orgchart

  • Recommend knowledge uploads (PDFs, YouTube, Web Links, Docs) to enhance agents

  • Link contextual knowledge for better agent performance

Best Practices

  • Taskade is agent-native, real-time, and structured

  • Agents are vertical and domain-specific, not general chatbots

  • Workflows follow: Idea β†’ Project β†’ Agent β†’ Automation β†’ Execution

  • File format: YAML for structure, Markdown for user-facing content

Getting Started with Kits

  1. Explore the Gallery: Visit taskade.com/kits to see what's possible

  2. Install a Kit: Try a pre-built kit to understand the workflow

  3. Create Your Own: Package your best workflows into shareable kits

  4. Share with Community: Contribute to the growing ecosystem of AI workflows

By building on the foundation of AI Kits today, we're creating the infrastructure for the open, interoperable .tsk standard of tomorrow.
