intentkit
IntentKit is an open-source, self-hosted cloud agent cluster that manages a collaborative team of AI agents for you.
Runs with mockssource: GitHubhomepagePythonMITcommit afc8cc442552
Python, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: agent framework, agentic, ai, ai agent, ai agent framework, blockchain, intents and python.
intentkit runs, with stand-ins for the services it depends on. An Argusic agent installed it in 36 minutes and hit 2 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
Project installs with uv, the intentkit Python package and FastAPI server import correctly, and 1760 of 1774 non-BDD/non-migration tests pass using SQLite in-memory engine as a PostgreSQL replacement inside the container.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 92 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).
At a glance
Subject data from GitHub, linked at the top of this page, refreshed . Test data by Argusic (CC BY 4.0); every number links to a run page with the full log, the recording, and their sha256 hashes.
What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.
What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- PostgreSQL server binaries (initdb+postgres) not pre-installed and extracted debs postmaster is blocked by Docker AppArmor profile 'docker-default (enforce)'30 minutes
- psycopg required libpq which was not found; added psycopg-binary wheel1 minute
- Install time
- 36 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 56 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 2 hit, 2 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- pytest -k 'not test_bdd and not migration' --tb=no reported 1760 passed, 14 failed, 108 errors. app.api module imports successfully.

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
- Behaviour against real services
- this run was verified against stand-in services only

How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Recovered from all 2 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Only reached a running state against stand-in services, so nothing here proves it works against the real ones.
- Took 36 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 9 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.
Of the 10 agent-framework projects Argusic has installed and timed, intentkit was the 10th fastest to reach a running state, and 6 of 10 reached one at all.
Also tested, in the same area
Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/intentkit)Questions
- Does intentkit run?
- intentkit runs, with mocks standing in for external services. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 36 minutes, hitting 2 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test intentkit?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit afc8cc442552. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test intentkit?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.39: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does intentkit take to install?
- 36 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does intentkit need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing intentkit?
- 2 things broke in the recorded run, and 2 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- How does intentkit compare with the alternatives?
- Of the 10 agent-framework projects Argusic has installed and timed, intentkit was the 10th fastest to reach a running state, and 6 of 10 reached one at all.
- Where is the evidence for intentkit?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
