Agent fleet parity: same rules + MCPs across all agents

All fleet agents share same rules + MCP servers. Sync via scripts/sync-mcp-configs.mjs. No private rule sets

Agent fleet parity

Rule

Every agent in the fleet sees:

Same workspace rules — via .agents/<agent>/AGENTS.md pointing at the root AGENTS.md (or the agent’s native equivalent file).
Same MCP servers — via scripts/sync-mcp-configs.mjs writing the canonical .mcp.json to each agent’s expected path.
Same skills — via junction from repos/own/infra/agent-skills to each agent’s expected skills/ location.

Failover between agents is then just a matter of launching a different binary; configuration stays identical.

Current fleet (2026-06-29)

Four agents, no more:

Agent	Type	Pointer file	MCP config	Skills dir
Claude Code	CLI (primary)	`.agents/claude/CLAUDE.md`	`.mcp.json` (canonical)	`.claude/skills/` (junction)
OpenCode	CLI	`.agents/opencode/AGENTS.md`	`.opencode/opencode.jsonc` (transformed)	`.opencode/skills/` (junction)
Kilo Code	VS Code ext	`.agents/kilocode/rules/00-pointer.md`	`.kilocode/mcp.json` (direct copy)	`.kilocode/skills/` (junction)
Antigravity	Standalone IDE	`.agents/antigravity/AGENTS.md`	`.antigravity/mcp.json` (direct copy)	`.agents/skills/`

Failover order if Claude Code is unavailable: OpenCode ? Kilo Code ? Antigravity.

What’s NOT in the fleet (and why)

Excluded	Why
Cline	Dropped 2026-06-29 — overlaps Kilo Code (both VS Code, both MCP-native); avoids duplicate sync target. See `fleet-cut-to-4-agents-2026-06-29`.
Aider	No native MCP support (confirmed live 2026-06-29).
Goose, Continue.dev, Gemini CLI	Not currently in use; can be added if needed via grill-me.
Cursor, Windsurf	Card-on-file required — violates `no-card-on-file`.

Sync flow

.mcp.json                                  ? edit here only
  +-? scripts/sync-mcp-configs.mjs
       +-? .kilocode/mcp.json              (direct copy)
       +-? .antigravity/mcp.json           (direct copy)
       +-? .opencode/opencode.jsonc        (format-transformed)

After every .mcp.json change: node scripts/sync-mcp-configs.mjs.

Anti-patterns

? Edit .kilocode/mcp.json or .antigravity/mcp.json directly — gets overwritten next sync.
? Add an agent-specific rule file outside the pointer pattern.
? Install a new agent without adding its pointer + MCP target to this rule.
