About Kitpedia

A “kit” is a repeatable collection of items assembled for a purpose: a winter truck kit, a camp kitchen, a float-trip fishing setup, an electronics repair bench, an IT support bag, a race-day pit crate. If you build kits, you already have the knowledge — it just lives in a spreadsheet, a note on your phone, or a forum post that's impossible to keep current.

Kitpedia is a library of practical, editable starter kits — with a personal kit builder and clean export tools.

The loop is short: open a starter kit, copy it into your own kits, customize it, and export or share it. Or create a kit from scratch by pasting the list you already have. Group items into sections; add quantities, notes, weights, prices, and links — as much or as little detail as you want. Export it as Markdown or plain text, and keep editing as your gear changes.

What a starter kit is — and isn't

A starter kit is a contextual starting point: a prepared list with reasoning, quantities, sources, and stated assumptions, built on a shared item vocabulary (the same duct tape entry serves the vehicle kit and the repair kit). It is not authoritative, definitive, proven, or universally correct, and it is not a substitute for training, local rules, or your own judgment. Every kit is meant to be copied and changed — the sources are listed so you can check the reasoning, not as proof that the kit is right for you.

Your own kits are community kits — real setups, published on your own authority, with no editor in the way and no approval to wait for.

Where your kits live

Kits you create are stored in this browser, using its local storage. That means they don't sync to your other devices, and a link to one of your kits will not open for someone else — there is no account system and no server storing them. Markdown and plain-text export are the honest way to share a kit: copy the text and post it wherever you already talk about gear.

What Kitpedia isn't doing

There is no advertising and no affiliate program on this site. Kitpedia is not being built as an encyclopedia, and there is no AI system generating kits at scale — the agent-pipeline material in this repository is frozen historical design work, not an active or planned system.
