Summary

  • agentkit CLI → retort CLI across the entire framework
  • agentkit:* pnpm scripts kept as deprecated aliases for one release cycle
  • GENERATED by AgentKit Forge → GENERATED by Retort in all output headers
  • validate.mjs accepts both old and new headers (backward compat for already-generated files)
  • All test assertions updated

What changed

Layer Change
.agentkit/package.json name retort-runtime, added retort:* scripts, kept agentkit:* as aliases
package.json (root) name retort-root, added retort:* scripts, ak:* updated to call retort:*
cli.mjs Banner Retort v{VERSION}, log prefix [retort:]
template-utils.mjs / synchronize.mjs GENERATED header string → GENERATED by Retort
validate.mjs Accepts GENERATED by Retort OR GENERATED by AgentKit Forge
124 template files AgentKit Forge → Retort, agentkit:sync → retort:sync
38 engine source files AgentKit → Retort throughout
Test suite All AgentKit Forge / [agentkit:sync] assertions updated

Migration for downstream users

# Old (still works for one release cycle)
pnpm -C .agentkit agentkit:sync

# New (canonical)
pnpm -C .agentkit retort:sync

# Root shortcuts
pnpm retort:sync    # new canonical
pnpm ak:sync        # still works

Rationale

agentkit is dominated by Anthropic's own AgentKit/Agent SDK branding. Holding the name creates discoverability and trust confusion. retort is unique, memorable, and matches the repo identity.

Test plan

  • pnpm test passes (engine test suite)
  • pnpm retort:sync generates output
  • pnpm ak:sync still works (deprecated alias)
  • Generated files contain GENERATED by Retort header
  • CI passes

f950d62 
- .agentkit/package.json: name retort-runtime, add retort:* scripts
  (agentkit:* scripts kept as deprecated aliases for one release cycle)
- package.json: name retort-root, add retort:* root scripts,
  ak:* scripts updated to call retort:* internally
- cli.mjs: banner and log prefix updated to Retort/[retort:]
- template-utils.mjs, synchronize.mjs: GENERATED header now reads
  "GENERATED by Retort" (validate.mjs accepts both old and new)
- 124 template files: AgentKit Forge → Retort, agentkit:sync → retort:sync
- 38 engine source files: AgentKit → Retort throughout
- Test suite: all assertions updated (cli, sync-integration,
  template-utils, brand-resolver tests)

Rationale: "agentkit" is a commodity name dominated by Anthropic's
own AgentKit/Agent SDK tooling. "retort" is unique, distinctive,
and aligns with the repo identity.

chore(sync): merge main into dev — resolve conflicts and sync outputs
36113f7 
Resolves conflicts from reverse-merge PR #437 (main → dev).
Main had 2 commits that dev was missing:
- chore(issues): update follow-up issues after kit-based domain filtering (#435)
- feat(rename): rebrand CLI from agentkit to retort with deprecated alias (#436)

Conflict resolution strategy:
- Engine source files (.mjs): keep dev version (more complete — has domain
  filtering, backward-compat header checks, kit detection in init.mjs)
- Template files: keep dev version (fixes "an Retort" → "a Retort" grammar)
- .github/ISSUES/006: take main's ## Resolution section (phase 5 work)
- .github/ISSUES/040: keep dev's Retort branding + add main's ## Resolution
