tack-agents 0.3.0

Keep your coding agents' skills deployed identically to Claude Code and Codex from one manifest of sources — your own skill repos and pinned third-party ones — and audit your projects so either agent sees the same instructions, skills, and hooks.

tack sync deploys skills from the manifest's sources, tack status shows what is where, tack outdated and tack update track upstream, tack add and tack remove edit the manifest, tack doctor audits, and tack scaffold applies the fixes it suggests. A path source with autocommit = true (and autopush) has its skill edits committed, and pushed, whenever a command that changes things runs. A bare tack opens a TUI over all of it: Skills (grouped by source, and sortable), Sources and Doctor tabs, and a Settings screen for the manifest, with every action previewed before it runs.

Install

tack runs on macOS and Linux and needs git. Install it one of two ways; either gives you the tack command.

Homebrew

brew install chocs-cat/tap/tack

The formula lives in the chocs-cat/tap tap and brings its own Python.

PyPI

uv tool install tack-agents

This installs the tack-agents package from PyPI (tack is taken there) into its own environment. It needs Python 3.11 or later; pipx install tack-agents works the same way.

Use

tack                      # the TUI
tack add https://github.com/cloudflare/skills.git --skill wrangler
tack sync --dry-run       # what would change
tack sync                 # fetch pinned sources, link skills into every harness
tack status               # sources, pins, and which skills are linked where
tack outdated --diff      # what upstream changed in the skills you deploy
tack update cloudflare    # take it: move the pin, then sync
tack remove cloudflare    # its table, pin, links and checkout
tack doctor               # audit the harnesses and the projects under projects.roots
tack doctor --json        # for scripts; exit 1 when there is an error or warning
tack scaffold hooks ~/Code/app --dry-run   # the diff a doctor fix would make

Agent skill

skills/tack/SKILL.md teaches coding agents to run tack for you through its --json CLI. Deploy it with tack itself:

tack add https://github.com/chocs-cat/tack.git   # a source named tack, linked into every harness
tack update tack                                  # later: take in a newer version

Or copy skills/tack into your agents' skills directories.

Development

uv sync
uv run tack …             # the checkout, not an installed copy
uv run pytest && uv run ruff check . && uv run ruff format --check . && uv run ty check
