openclaw install bjesuiter/bridleWhat this skill does
Unified configuration manager for AI coding assistants. Manage profiles, install skills/agents/commands, and switch configurations across Claude Code, OpenCode, Goose, and Amp.
Why it matters
Each AI coding assistant stores config in a different location and format; bridle provides one CLI to manage all of them consistently.
Typical use cases
- Switching Claude Code from a minimal profile to a full work setup with MCPs
- Installing a skill from a GitHub repo into multiple AI assistants at once
- Comparing two Claude Code profiles before deciding which to activate
- Keeping separate personal and client-specific configurations per tool
- Checking which profile is active across all AI assistants from one command

brew install neiii/bridle/bridle
# Cargo (Rust)
cargo install bridle
# From source
git clone https://github.com/neiii/bridle && cd bridle && cargo install --path .
Core Concepts
- Harnesses: AI coding assistants (
claude,opencode,goose,amp) - Profiles: Saved configurations per harness (e.g.,
work,personal,minimal)
Quick Commands
# Launch interactive TUI
bridle
# Show active profiles across all harnesses
bridle status
# Initialize bridle config and default profiles
bridle init
Profile Management
# List all profiles for a harness
bridle profile list <harness>
# Show profile details (model, MCPs, plugins)
bridle profile show <harness> <name>
# Create empty profile
bridle profile create <harness> <name>
# Create profile from current config
bridle profile create <harness> <name> --from-current
# Switch/activate a profile
bridle profile switch <harness> <name>
# Open profile in editor
bridle profile edit <harness> <name>
# Compare profiles
bridle profile diff <harness> <name> [other]
# Delete a profile
bridle profile delete <harness> <name>
Installing Components
Bridle can install skills, agents, commands, and MCPs from GitHub repos and auto-translates paths/configs for each harness.
# Install from GitHub (owner/repo or full URL)
bridle install owner/repo
# Overwrite existing installations
bridle install owner/repo --force
# Interactively remove components [experimental]
bridle uninstall <harness> <profile>
Configuration
Config location: ~/.config/bridle/config.toml
# Get a config value
bridle config get <key>
# Set a config value
bridle config set <key> <value>
Config keys: profile_marker, editor, tui.view, default_harness
Output Formats
All commands support -o, --output <format>:
text(default) — Human-readablejson— Machine-readableauto— Text for TTY, JSON for pipes

Common Workflows
Create a work profile from current config
bridle profile create claude work --from-current
Create profile from existing profile (duplicate & modify)
# 1. Switch to the source profile
bridle profile switch opencode default
# 2. Create new profile from current (now the source profile)
bridle profile create opencode minimal --from-current
# 3. Edit the new profile to remove/modify as needed
bridle profile edit opencode minimal
Switch between profiles
bridle profile switch claude personal
bridle profile switch opencode minimal
Check status across all harnesses
bridle status
