agent-setup

Configuring multiple AI agent CLI tools through a unified environment variable interface maps your settings to tool-specific configuration files for Claude, Codex, Qwen, Qoder, iFlow, and OpenCode. This automated persistence validates inputs and applies settings without manual file editing.

Switching your AI development tools from one provider to another is possible by updating three environment variables and running a single command. The unified configuration system automatically validates and applies the new API keys, models, and base URLs to each tool's native configuration format.

The agent-setup CLI configuration process requires Python 3 as its primary dependency to function. It uses Python scripts to map environment variables to JSON, TOML, and dotenv configuration files across the supported AI tools.

Ensuring secret-safe configuration management for AI agent environments requires an idempotent, fail-fast approach that validates unified environment variables before applying them. This prevents partial configurations and securely maps secrets to each tool's native configuration files.

Unified configuration mapping works by translating a single set of environment variables into tool-specific configuration files that support various API protocols. It handles the native JSON, TOML, and dotenv formats required by Claude, Codex, Qwen, Qoder, iFlow, and OpenCode.

Manual configuration fails because it is fragmented and error-prone when editing multiple JSON, TOML, and dotenv files across six different AI tools. Using a unified environment-variable interface eliminates these errors through automated validation and idempotent persistence.
