The marketplace ships **17 plugins** — install only the overlays you need:\n\n```bash\n\n---\n\n# Install with pip\npip install git+https://github.com/tractorjuice/arc-kit.git\n\n---\n\n# Minimal install (skip docs and guides)\narckit init payment-modernization --ai codex --minimal\n\n---\n\n### On-invoke cost by command\n\nCosts are estimates from the Claude Code tokenizer and may differ from actual usage.

approved):\n\n- Business requirements with rationale\n- Functional requirements with acceptance criteria\n- Non-functional requirements (performance, security, scalability, compliance)\n- Integration requirements (upstream/downstream systems)\n- Data requirements (DR-xxx)\n- Success criteria and KPIs\n\n---\n\n# Install and create project (3 steps, zero config)\npip install
