Quick Start

"Package Manager" for your harness

With Bridle, you're able to install skills, agents, commands, and MCPs from any GitHub repository, similar to how Claude Code does it. With Bridle, however, you're not limited to just one harness; we auto-translate all the paths, namings, schemas, and configurations for you.

Why this matters: A skill written for Claude Code uses ~/.claude/skills/. The same skill on OpenCode lives at ~/.config/opencode/skill/. MCPs follow different JSON/YAML schemas. Bridle handles all these differences for you.

Core Concepts

Harnesses are AI coding assistants: claude, opencode, goose, amp, copilot, crush

Profiles are saved configurations. Each harness can have multiple profiles (e.g., work, personal, minimal). Bridle copies the active profile's config into the harness's config directory when you switch.
