Getting Started

What is aix?#

aix is a unified CLI for managing AI coding assistant configurations across multiple platforms:

• Claude Code - Anthropic’s Claude-powered coding assistant
• OpenCode - Open-source AI coding assistant
• Codex - OpenAI’s code generation model
• Gemini CLI - Google’s Gemini-powered CLI

With aix, you can manage skills, commands, agents, and MCP servers from a single tool, with automatic translation between platform-specific formats.
