Why it matters
As AI development environments become more diverse, managing configurations and instructions across multiple tools can be complex. dotai offers a solution for developers to maintain consistent AI agent behavior and settings, streamlining workflows and reducing manual configuration efforts.

The shekohex/dotai project introduces a configuration management system aimed at unifying AI tool settings. It facilitates the synchronization of general AI development guidelines (from AI.md to CLAUAUDE.md for Claude Code and AGENTS.md for OpenCode) and MCP server configurations (from mcp.json to tool-specific formats). The system supports intelligent synchronization, comparing files with git diff before overwriting and providing diff-based confirmation. It also manages directories efficiently using rsync on Unix-like systems and handles error conditions with clear messages and fallbacks for optional tools. Installation instructions are provided for macOS, Linux distributions, and Windows, with prerequisites including jq, bash/cmd, and cmp/fc.
