Detect harnesses, import existing content by copy, and run the first native sync.
+Detect harnesses, import existing content by copy, offer git init, and run the first native sync. Removals are previewed per harness before anything is touched.
$ dotagents setup -$ git -C ~/.agents init $ git -C ~/.agents remote add origin <your-private-repo>
Then add a skill and sync it everywhere:
-$ mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills/my-skill +$ dotagents skill new my-skill $ dotagents sync synced configured surfaces to detected harnesses
Content packs target one agent. Skills syncing covers breadth but not depth. dotagents syncs the full config surface across harnesses.
+Project-level generators win on tool breadth. dotagents is user-level: one private repo that follows you across machines, five harnesses deep, with pinned and audited external skills.

Counts verified 2026-07-15 against each project's docs. Different tools for different jobs: rulesync and ruler generate per-project config for many tools; dotagents carries one personal setup deeply into the harnesses you live in.
