twagent 1.1.0

twagent CLI

Unified configuration framework for AI coding agents — Claude Code, Copilot CLI, Pi, VS Code, opencode. One canonical TOML, one CLI, two deploy modes.

Replaces twmcp (MCP servers only) and devops-binx/agent/render.py (instructions + skills) — both in a single TOML now.

What you get

• One config at ~/.config/twagent/config.toml describes every skill, subagent, prompt, instruction template, and MCP server you care about.
• One CLI (twagent apply) renders Jinja templates, symlinks file artifacts, and compiles MCP JSON in each agent's native shape.
• Two deploy modes: globally (each agent's default profile to ~/.claude/, ~/.copilot/, etc.) or locally (a CLI-supplied selection into the current directory).

twagent apply --global                          # sync everything globally
twagent apply -s tw-claude                      # local: drop a profile into cwd
twagent apply --global -s e2e-emea              # swap MCP env for the day
twagent apply --global -s e2e-emea -a copilot-cli  # one agent only

Mental model

  ┌──────────────┐    ┌─────────────┐
  │  Registries  │ →  │   Profiles  │ →  apply (local | --global)
  │              │    │ (composable │        │
  │ instructions │    │   bundles)  │        ▼
  │ skills       │    │             │   per-agent paths
  │ subagents    │    │  extends... │   (global or cwd-relative)
  │ prompts      │    │             │
  │ servers      │    │             │
  └──────────────┘    └─────────────┘

• Artifacts live in registries — globally unique name + source path.
• Profiles bundle artifact references, composable via extends.
• Agents declare capabilities and per-kind paths (global and per-project).
• --select is polymorphic (profile or artifact names, mixed) and exhaustive (only kinds in the selection deploy).

Install

uv tool install twagent
# or, from a clone:
make install

Python 3.13+. Optional: fzf >= 0.35 improves the --interactive picker.

First deploy

twagent edit --init                # bootstrap a commented starter config
$EDITOR ~/.config/twagent/config.toml
twagent apply --global -n          # preview
twagent apply --global             # deploy
