Introducing aix: The Unified CLI for AI Coding Assistants

January 24, 2026 in Announcements2 minutes

Today we are excited to introduce aix, a unified command-line interface designed to streamline the management of AI coding assistant configurations.

As the ecosystem of AI coding assistants grows, developers often find themselves juggling multiple tools, each with their own configuration formats, file locations, and conventions. Whether you are using Claude Code, OpenCode, or the Gemini CLI, keeping your skills, commands, and MCP servers in sync is a challenge.

aix bridges this gap by providing a single, platform-agnostic control plane.

Key Features

  • Unified Management: Manage skills, commands, agents, and MCP servers across multiple platforms using a single set of commands.
  • Write Once, Deploy Everywhere: Define your skills and commands in a standard format and let aix handle the translation to each platform’s native syntax.
  • Automatic Platform Detection: Run aix init and let the tool discover which assistants you have installed.
  • Spec Compliance: Full support for the Agent Skills and Model Context Protocol (MCP) specifications.

Supported Platforms

At launch, aix supports:

  • Claude Code: Full support for skills, commands, and MCP servers.
  • OpenCode: Support for skills, commands, agents, and MCP servers.
  • Gemini CLI: Support for skills, commands, and MCP servers.

Getting Started

Getting started is easy. If you have Homebrew installed, you can install aix with:

brew install thoreinstein/tap/aix

Then, initialize your configuration:
