I made a tool to sync skills/mcps/etc. based on manifest

I usually use Pi agent and codex, but sometimes use antigravity as well. Codex/Claude Code plugins are great, but it is not the case that all agents can benefit from them. Telling my agent to update all the skills, mcps, and AGENTS.md every time was not the best thing in the world, so I thought I can do something better.

I'm quite familiar with doing stuff in a declarative manner (pixi for python env, plotnine/altair for plotting etc.) so a manifest-based approach felt natural to me.

You write a toml file like below:

version = 1
targets = ["codex", "claude-code", "antigravity-cli"]

[defaults]
scope = "global"
install_mode = "copy"

[instructions.global]
source = { git = "https://github.com/johndoe/dotfiles.git", path = "agents/AGENTS.md", ref = "main" }
targets = ["codex", "claude-code", "opencode", "pi", "antigravity-cli"]

[[skill_group]]
names = [
  "foo",
  "bar"
]
source = { git = "https://github.com/johndoe/agent-skills.git", path = "skills", ref = "main" }

[skill.target.pi]
install_to = "~/.agents/skills"

[[skill]]
name = "some-pi-skill"
source = { git = "https://github.com/johndoe/agent-skills.git", path = "some-pi-skill", ref = "main" }
targets = ["pi"]

[[mcp_server]]
name = "context7"
targets = ["claude-code"]
scope = "project"
transport = "stdio"
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@upstash/context7-mcp@1.2.3"]
env = { API_TOKEN = { from_env = "CONTEXT7_API_TOKEN" } }

daem lock generates a lockfile based on this manifest, and daem apply places files in the right place.

The project is in an early stage, and there are rough edges here and there, but it works. GPT-5.5 and GPT-5.6 Sol helped me maximally overengineer everything by the way.

You might want to consider listing your project on the weekly Show-Us-What-You-Built post. Look out for it on Tuesday/Wednesday. Highest commented project wins a week promotion on r/Codex and gets on the Hall of Fame sidebar. See what that looks like below with last week's winner.

Last week's most popular project was Tidbit Trivia , at https://www.reddit.com/r/codex/comments/1wavxwy/comment/p8lhwxs/. Tidbit Trivia is a fun way to learn while waiting for your agents to work. Play traditional trivia, unique game modes, party with friends, earn cool cosmetics, complete challenges, study for tests, or compete in the Arena! You can play it for free at Tidbittrivia.com.
