What is Bridle?
Bridle is a powerful CLI utility designed for developers who utilize multiple AI coding assistants and need a consistent way to manage their environments. It serves as a central hub for harnesses like Claude Code, OpenCode, Goose, and Amp, allowing users to define and switch between different profiles such as work, personal, or research-focused configurations.
By leveraging the Openclaw Skills ecosystem, Bridle simplifies the complex task of installing agents, commands, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It automatically handles the heavy lifting of path translation and configuration mapping, ensuring that your tools work seamlessly regardless of which AI assistant you are currently using.
Bridle Use Cases
- Rapidly switching between specialized configurations for different client projects or programming languages.
- Deploying a consistent set of Openclaw Skills across various AI assistants to maintain a unified toolkit.
- Mirroring existing configurations into new profiles to test experimental agents or model settings.
- Automating the installation of AI components directly from GitHub repositories without manual path management.
How Bridle Works
- The user initializes the system using the init command to map existing AI assistant configurations.
- Profiles are created for specific harnesses, either from scratch or by capturing the current state of an assistant.
- When an installation command is run, Bridle fetches Openclaw Skills from remote sources and identifies the correct directory structure for the target assistant.
- Users switch active environments through the CLI or an interactive TUI, which updates the underlying assistant's config files in real-time.
- The status command provides a bird's-eye view of all active profiles across the entire developer machine.
Bridle Setup
Bridle can be installed via popular package managers or built from source to manage your Openclaw Skills.
# Install via Homebrew (macOS/Linux)
brew install neiii/bridle/bridle
# Install via Cargo (Rust)
cargo install bridle
# Initialize the configuration and default profiles
bridle init
Bridle Data Schema & Taxonomy
Bridle manages data by interfacing with the native configuration directories of various assistants while maintaining its own global settings in ~/.config/bridle/config.toml.
| Harness | Configuration Directory | Component Type |
|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | ~/.claude/ |
Skills, Agents, MCPs |
| OpenCode | ~/.config/opencode/ |
Skills, Agents, Commands |
| Goose | ~/.config/goose/ |
Skills, MCPs |
| Amp | ~/.amp/ |
Experimental |
Components like Openclaw Skills are organized into specific subdirectories (e.g., /skills/ or /plugins/) based on the requirements of the specific AI harness being used.
Bridle Advanced Features
- Interactive TUI for managing profiles and harnesses without memorizing CLI flags.
- Support for machine-readable JSON output, enabling integration into larger automation pipelines.
- Automated profile differencing to compare configurations between different AI assistant environments.
- Force-overwrite capabilities for keeping Openclaw Skills updated from their GitHub source repositories.
