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—Claude Code, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI—each with their own configuration formats, file locations, and conventions. Keeping your custom skills, slash commands, and MCP servers in sync across these environments is a manual, error-prone process.

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

Why aix?

• Unified Management: Manage skills, commands, agents, and MCP servers across multiple platforms using a single CLI.
• Write Once, Deploy Everywhere: Define your skills and commands in a standard format (Markdown/YAML) and let aix handle the translation to each platform’s native syntax (TOML, JSON, etc.).
• Repo-based Distribution: Share your configurations via Git repositories and install them anywhere.

What’s New in v0.6.0

We’ve been moving fast. Here are some of the power-user features available today:

🔍 Interactive Fuzzy Search

Don’t remember the exact name of that skill? Just run aix search. We’ve added an interactive, fzf-style fuzzy finder that lets you browse, filter, and preview skills, commands, and agents from all your configured repositories in real-time.

📦 Bulk Installation

Setting up a new machine? You can now install entire suites of tools in one go. The new --all-from-repo flag lets you pull everything from a trusted source instantly:

aix skill install --all-from-repo team-shared-skills

🐧 XDG Compliance

We know you care about dotfile hygiene. aix fully respects XDG Base Directory specifications on Linux and macOS, keeping your home directory clean (~/.config/aix, ~/.cache/aix).

Supported Platforms

aix currently provides deep integration with:

• Claude Code: Full support for skills, commands, and MCP servers.
• OpenCode: Support for skills, commands, agents, and MCP servers.
• Gemini CLI: Full support including variable translation ($ARGUMENTS → {{argument}}).

Getting Started

If you have Homebrew installed, you can grab the latest version:

brew install thoreinstein/tap/aix

Initialize your environment (we’ll auto-detect your installed AI tools):

aix init
