Skills, MCP servers, rules, and instructions in one place, synced into every agent tool you use. Build your context layer once and reuse it across projects.
Free to download. Source-available on GitHub.
What Automatic does
Every agent tool stores its instructions, skills, and servers in a different place. Automatic manages them once and writes each native format for you.
Shared rules, skills, and servers apply to every project. Change once, update everywhere.
Automatic translates config into each agent’s native format. 16 agents stay aligned automatically.
Install and manage reusable contexts. Write once — Use everywhere
Register MCP servers once. Automatic writes the correct config for each agent and manages dependencies.
Write project instructions once. Compiled into .cursorrules, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and more.
Project-scoped persistent memory that agents read and write over MCP. Context survives across sessions.
API keys in your system keychain. Agents retrieve them over MCP — no secrets in config files.
Bundle config into project templates. Automatic monitors for drift and flags inconsistencies.
Browse and install community skills, MCP servers, and project templates from curated registries.
Why developers use Automatic
It is building the context layer around it. Automatic makes that work compound instead of starting over with every tool and project.
Craft skills, rules, and instructions once. Apply them to any project and any agent without starting over.
Apply a template and your full context layer is ready instantly. No more rebuilding config from scratch.
When agents have the right context, skills, and memory they produce consistent, convention-following code.
Automatic detects when a project’s config diverges. Every agent stays aligned without manual audits.
Your context works across 16 tools. Move from Cursor to Claude Code or try Codex without reconfiguring.
Agent memory captures decisions and learnings as you work. Every session starts smarter than the last.
How it works
Capture what makes your agents effective, then share it across every project and every tool. Setup takes minutes.
Read the docsDownload the desktop app for macOS, Windows, or Linux.
Point Automatic at your working directories. It auto-detects installed agents and imports their existing MCP server configs.
Configure once in Automatic's UI, or browse the marketplace for community skills, curated collections, and templates.
Automatic writes the right config files for each of 16 supported agent tools. It also exposes an MCP server so agents can pull context, memory, and credentials directly.
Change your config and every project updates. Drift gets flagged instantly. Agents track features and store memory back into Automatic as they work.
