emcd-agents

🤖 AI Agent Configuration Management - Centralized, version-controlled configurations for AI development tools with hybrid distribution architecture. Enables rapid iteration on agent configurations while maintaining consistency across multiple projects through tag-based releases and dynamic content generation.

Key Features ⭐

🏗️ Hybrid Distribution Architecture

Combines Copier templates for base configuration with agentsmgr CLI for dynamic content generation from structured data sources.

⚡ Lightning-Fast Iteration

Tag-based releases enable rapid configuration updates without heavyweight project releases.

🔧 Simple CLI Interface

Primary populate command generates agent configurations from any compatible data source with simulation mode support.

📦 Extensible Data Sources

Works with any properly structured agent configuration library, enabling community-driven configuration sharing and reuse.

🔌 Plugin Architecture

Extensible source handlers (git, local) and renderers (Claude, Opencode, Codex, Qwen) with decorator-based registration system.

🎯 Multi-Target Support

Per-user and per-project targeting modes with intelligent symlink management for seamless AI tool integration.

Installation 📦

Method: Download Standalone Executable

Examples 💡

CLI Usage

Populate Agent Content:

Generate configurations from a git source:

agentsmgr populate --source=github:emcd/agents-common@agents-2

Generate content for per-project mode:

agentsmgr populate --mode=per-project --source=git:path/to/local/repo

Test Configuration Changes:

Preview what would be generated without making changes:

agentsmgr populate --simulate --source=github:emcd/agents-common@agents-2

Copier Template Integration

Apply Base Template:

Use as a Copier template for new projects:

copier copy gh:emcd/agents-common path/to/new-project

Update Existing Projects:

Update base configuration templates:

copier update --answers-file .auxiliary/configuration/copier-answers--agents.yaml

Use Cases

• Project Templates: Distribute consistent AI agent configurations across multiple project templates
• Development Teams: Maintain synchronized agent configurations across team members
• Configuration Evolution: Rapidly iterate on slash commands and agent definitions
• Multi-Tool Support: Support Claude Code, Opencode, Codex, Qwen Code, and future AI development environments
