AgentShift

Convert AI agents between platforms. Define your agent once, deploy it anywhere.

AgentShift is a CLI transpiler that takes an AI agent definition from one platform and generates deployment-ready configurations for others. No more vendor lock-in for your agents.

The Problem

AI agents are locked into their originating platforms. An OpenClaw skill can't run on Microsoft Copilot. A Bedrock Agent can't be moved to Vertex AI. Despite 60-70% of an agent being inherently portable, no tool exists that converts agents between platforms.

How It Works

AgentShift parses your agent into a universal Intermediate Representation (IR), then emits platform-specific configurations:

# Convert an OpenClaw skill to Microsoft Copilot
agentshift convert --to copilot ./my-skill/

# Convert to all supported targets at once
agentshift convert --to all ./my-skill/

# See what ports cleanly vs. what needs manual work
agentshift diff ./my-skill/ --targets copilot,bedrock,vertex

# Validate generated config against platform schema
agentshift validate ./output/copilot/ --target copilot

Portability Matrix

$ agentshift diff ./my-skill/ --targets copilot,bedrock

Installation

pip install agentshift

From source

git clone https://github.com/ogkranthi/agentshift.git
cd agentshift
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Contributing

We welcome contributions! The most impactful way to contribute is adding support for a new platform.

See CONTRIBUTING.md for setup instructions and guidelines.

Adding a New Platform

Each platform needs:

1. A format spec documenting the agent definition format
2. A parser (read from the platform) and/or emitter (write to the platform)
3. Tests and a test fixture with a real agent definition

Open a Platform Request to discuss your approach.

Architecture

Source Agent → Parser → IR (Intermediate Representation) → Emitter → Target Config

The IR is the core — a universal agent model that captures identity, instructions, tools, knowledge, triggers, channels, and constraints. Adding a new platform = writing one parser and/or one emitter. See specs/ir-schema.json for the full schema.

Project Status

AgentShift is in active development. The nightly build crew (autonomous OpenClaw agents) works on it every night. Track progress in BACKLOG.md.
