🤔 The Problem We're Solving
AI agents today are powerful but blind:
- ❌ Can't see what code actually does when it runs
- ❌ Can't capture your screen or record demonstrations
- ❌ Can't manage files beyond basic read/write
- ❌ Can't control processes or applications
- ❌ Can't interact with your actual development environment
Result: You're stuck doing manual work that AI should handle.
🎯 What We've Built: The Complete Solution
The AI Capability Extension Suite provides 5 comprehensive MCP servers that give AI agents professional-grade capabilities, plus Akira:
🐛 1. MCP ACS Debugger

AI: *Captures error states and user flow*
AI: "Created detailed bug report with 5 screenshots showing error conditions, expected vs actual behavior, and reproduction steps..."
🔥 What This Changes
Before: AI worked blind, relying on code descriptions
- ❌ "The layout looks broken" → AI guesses what's wrong
- ❌ "Create documentation" → AI writes generic text without visuals
- ❌ "Check accessibility" → AI can only review code, not actual contrast
- ❌ "Debug responsive design" → AI can't see actual breakpoint behavior
After: AI sees and analyzes your actual user interface
- ✅ Visual debugging - AI identifies exact pixel-level issues
- ✅ Intelligent documentation - AI creates guides with real screenshots and annotations
- ✅ Accessibility audits - AI measures actual contrast ratios and spacing
- ✅ Responsive testing - AI captures and compares different screen sizes
- ✅ Design analysis - AI evaluates visual hierarchy and user experience

🔧 Kiro MCP Configuration
Quick Setup for Kiro Users
Configure Kiro to use the AI Capability Extension Suite MCP servers by editing ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-screenshot": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-screenshot"]
},
"mcp-process": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-process",
"--config",
"./mcp-process-config.json"
]
},
"mcp-debugger": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-debugger-server"]
}
}
}
MCP ACS Process Configuration
Create mcp-process-config.json in your project directory or home directory:
{
"allowedExecutables": ["node", "python3", "npm", "yarn", "git"],
"defaultResourceLimits": {
"maxCpuPercent": 80,
"maxMemoryMB": 1024,
"maxCpuTime": 300
},
"maxConcurrentProcesses": 10,
"maxProcessLifetime": 3600,
"enableAuditLog": true,
"blockShellInterpreters": true,
"blockSetuidExecutables": true,
"allowProcessTermination": true,
"allowForcedTermination": false
}
Note: The config file requirement for mcp-process will be removed in an upcoming release, making it optional with sensible defaults.
Prerequisites
For Linux users (Ubuntu/Debian):
sudo apt-get install -y python3-setuptools build-essential
For macOS users:

cat mcp-process-config.json | jq
🎯 Akira
Spec-driven development powered by GitHub Copilot and MCP
Repository: Akira
The Problem: Traditional AI-assisted development lacks structure—requirements are vague, designs are inconsistent, and implementation happens without proper planning. AI agents generate code without understanding the full context or ensuring correctness.
The Solution: Akira brings professional software engineering methodology to AI-assisted development. Using the Easy Approach to Requirements Syntax (EARS) and INCOSE quality rules, Akira guides AI through a structured workflow: Requirements → Design → Tasks → Execution. With Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, specifications persist across chat sessions, ensuring consistency and enabling property-based testing.
🎨 Key Features
Structured Spec-Driven Workflow:
- Requirements Phase - Generate EARS-compliant requirements with INCOSE validation
- Design Phase - Create technical designs with correctness properties
- Tasks Phase - Generate actionable implementation plans with proper hierarchy
- Execution Phase - Execute tasks with full context from requirements and design
Advanced Requirements Engineering:
- EARS Compliance - All requirements follow one of six EARS patterns
- INCOSE Quality Rules - Automatic validation against semantic quality standards
- Glossary Management - Automatic extraction and definition of technical terms
- User Story Structure - Consistent format with 2-5 acceptance criteria per requirement
Property-Based Testing Integration:
- Correctness Properties - Generate testable properties from acceptance criteria
- Universal Quantification - Properties formatted with explicit "For any" statements
- Round-Trip Properties - Automatic detection for parsing/serialization requirements
- Test Library Integration - Support for fast-check and other PBT libraries
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration:
- Persistent Context - Spec documents remain accessible across chat sessions
- Structured Tools - Programmatic access to spec operations via MCP tools
- State Management - Track workflow progress and task completion
- File Operations - Read, write, and update spec documents through MCP
🛠️ Workflow Phases
- Requirements - Generate user stories with EARS patterns and INCOSE validation
- Design - Create technical design with correctness properties for PBT
- Tasks - Generate actionable implementation plan with 2-level hierarchy
- Execution - Execute tasks with full context loading and status tracking
🎯 Revolutionary Use Cases
"AI, create a spec for user authentication"
You: "@spec create user-authentication"
AI: *Generates EARS-compliant requirements*
AI: "Created spec with 8 requirements (5 ubiquitous, 2 event-driven, 1 state-driven).
All requirements validated against INCOSE rules. Ready for design phase."
"AI, generate correctness properties"
You: "@spec approve requirements user-auth"
AI: *Moves to design phase, extracts properties*
AI: "Generated 12 correctness properties:
- For any valid credentials, login succeeds
- For any expired token, re-authentication required
- For any user, password hash is irreversible
Ready for implementation."
"AI, execute the implementation plan"
You: "@spec execute user-auth"
AI: *Loads full context, executes tasks*
AI: "Executing task 1.1: Implement password hashing...
✅ Implemented with bcrypt
✅ Added property test: password hashing is one-way
Moving to task 1.2..."
