Key Points

  • The author describes a key pain point with AI coding agents: their configuration files (e.g., CLAUDE.md, .cursor/rules, AGENTS.md) are often unmanaged, unversioned, and hard to share or discover.
  • They built “Caliber,” an open-source AI agent configuration manager/registry that lets users store, version, share, and roll back agent instructions.
  • Caliber also aims to improve discoverability by allowing developers to see what agent configurations others are using.
  • The project has gained traction, reaching 888 GitHub stars and nearly 100 forks, and the author is actively seeking community feedback on whether a centralized registry would be useful.
  • The post invites experimenters to share how they currently maintain their agent configs and to request new features for Caliber.

Hey r/artificial!

If you use AI coding agents — Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI — you probably know how much those configuration files matter. The instructions you give your agent define how well it understands your project.

The problem: those files (`CLAUDE.md`, `.cursor/rules`, `AGENTS.md`, etc.) are totally unmanaged. They live in random project folders with no versioning, no sharing, no discoverability.

I built Caliber to fix that. It's an open-source AI agent configuration manager — a registry where you can:

- Store and version your agent configs

- Share configs with your team or publicly

- Discover what configs other developers are using

- Roll back agent instructions that aren't working

We just crossed 888 GitHub stars and nearly 100 forks, which has been incredibly motivating.

For those experimenting with AI agents: what does your current config setup look like? Do you actually maintain your `CLAUDE.md` / `.cursor/rules`? Would a centralized registry for these configs be useful to you?
