Shared configuration and conventions to bootstrap AI coding assistants. One repo, one command — every tool gets the same rules, skills, and MCP servers.
Supported Tools
| Tool | Rules | Skills / Agents | Root File | MCP Config |
| ----------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------- | ----------- | -------------------- |
| Claude Code | .claude/rules/ | .claude/skills/ · .claude/agents/ | CLAUDE.md | .mcp.json |
| OpenCode | .opencode/rules/ | .opencode/skills/ · .opencode/agents/ | AGENTS.md | opencode.json |
| Cursor | .cursor/rules/ | .cursor/skills/ · .cursor/agents/ | — | .cursor/mcp.json |
| Codex | — | .agents/skills/ | AGENTS.md | .codex/config.toml |
Compatibility
| Requirement | Details | | ----------- | ------------------------- | | Node.js | >= 18 | | macOS | 12 Monterey and later | | Linux | Any modern distribution | | Windows | Not supported (WSL works) |
Getting Started
Bootstrap
npx mvagnon-agents ../my-projectUpgrade
Run from within a bootstrapped project (requires .mvagnon-agents/):
cd my-project
npx mvagnon-agents upgradeUpdates generic and dep-sensitive files in .mvagnon-agents/ to match the latest package version. Project-sensitive files are never overwritten. A manifest.json tracks which items are auto-updatable.
Manage
Add tools, rules, skills and agents to an existing project:
cd my-project
npx mvagnon-agents manageInteractive Walkthrough
The script prompts you to:
- Select target tools — one or more (Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Codex)
- Pick resources — rules, skills and agents in a single menu, with category hints
- Add to .gitignore? — yes to ignore tool directories, no to track everything

◆ Select target tools
│ [x] Claude Code
│ [x] Cursor
│ [ ] OpenCode
│ [ ] Codex
◆ Pick resources
│ [x] project.md (rules · project-sensitive)
│ [x] nestjs-hexagonal-architecture.md (rules)
│ [ ] react-hexagonal-architecture.md (rules)
│ [ ] fastapi-hexagonal-architecture.md (rules)
│ [x] documentation-writer (skills)
◆ Add agents configuration to .gitignore?
│ ○ No
◇ Claude Code Setup
│ Rules: 2 linked
│ Skills: 1 linked
│ CLAUDE.md: linked
│ .mvagnon-agents/.mcp.json.example: copied
│ .gitignore: not modified
◇ Cursor Setup
│ Rules: 2 linked
│ .mvagnon-agents/mcp.json.example: copied
│ .gitignore: not modified
◇ Next Steps
│ 1. Copy config files and replace the API key placeholders:
│ Claude Code: cp .mvagnon-agents/.mcp.json.example .mcp.json
│ Cursor: cp .mvagnon-agents/mcp.json.example .cursor/mcp.json
│ 2. Modify the following project-sensitive files to fit your project:
│ - rules/project.md
│ 3. Add rules, skills, agents, MCPs or plugins based on your needs for each tool.
◇ Available Commands
│ npx mvagnon-agents manage Add tools, rules, skills or agents to an existing project
│ npx mvagnon-agents upgrade Sync generic resources with the latest package version

Files are organized into three types:
- project-sensitive — meant to be edited per project. Never overwritten on upgrade.
- generic — kept in sync with the package. Updated on upgrade.
- dep-sensitive — like generic, but only relevant when a specific dependency is present. Organized as
dep-sensitive/{dependency}/{skill-name}/in the config directory. Updated on upgrade.
All items are stored flat in .mvagnon-agents/<category>/. A manifest.json tracks each item's type so the upgrade mechanism knows which items to sync.
Tool directories (.claude/rules/, .cursor/rules/, etc.) contain relative symlinks pointing into .mvagnon-agents/. This means all tools share the same source files.

MCP config files are created from .example templates in .mvagnon-agents/. Copy them to the correct path and replace the API key placeholders with your actual keys. Config files are always gitignored.
Recommended Claude Code Hooks
Claude Code supports PostToolUse hooks that automatically lint and format files after every Edit or Write. Add the following to your ~/.claude/settings.json to enable auto-formatting across all projects:
{
"hooks": {
"PostToolUse": [
{
"matcher": "Edit|Write",
"hooks": [
{
// JS/TS: ESLint fix then Prettier (sequential to avoid race conditions)
"type": "command",
"command": "jq -r '.tool_input.file_path | select(test(\"\\\\.([jt]sx?|mjs|cjs)$\"))' | xargs -I {} sh -c 'npx eslint --fix \"$1\" && npx prettier --write \"$1\"' _ {}",
},
{
// Other files (md, json, css, etc.): Prettier only
"type": "command",
"command": "jq -r '.tool_input.file_path | select(test(\"\\\\.([jt]sx?|mjs|cjs)$\") | not)' | xargs npx prettier --write --ignore-unknown",
},
{
// Python: Ruff check then format (sequential to avoid race conditions)
"type": "command",
"command": "jq -r '.tool_input.file_path | select(test(\"\\\\.py$\"))' | xargs -I {} sh -c 'uvx ruff check --fix \"$1\" && uvx ruff format \"$1\"' _ {}",
},
],
},
],
},
}Why sequential? Claude Code runs hooks in parallel. Tools that write to the same file (e.g. ESLint + Prettier, or Ruff check + Ruff format) must be chained with
&&inside a single hook to prevent race conditions.
Prerequisites
- Node.js (for
npx eslintandnpx prettier) - uv (for
uvx ruff) — install viacurl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh - Project-level ESLint and Prettier configs (
.eslintrc.*/eslint.config.*,.prettierrc*) for JS/TS rules to take effect
Manual Installation
If you prefer not to use the bootstrap script:
- Copy the
config/folder contents to your project - Rename files according to your target tool (see Supported Tools table)
- Replace API key placeholders in config files with your actual keys
- Update
.gitignoreas needed
