| 31 | **Other methods:** |
| 32 | |
| 33 | ```bash |
| 34 | # Homebrew |
| 35 | brew install neiii/bridle/bridle |
| 36 | |
| 37 | # Cargo |
| 38 | cargo install bridle |
| 39 | |
| 40 | # From source |
| 41 | git clone https://github.com/neiii/bridle && cd bridle && cargo install --path . |
| 42 | ``` |
| 43 | |
| 44 | ## Quick Start |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ```bash |
| 47 | # Launch the TUI |
| 48 | bridle |
| 49 | |
| 50 | # See what's configured across all harnesses |
| 51 | bridle status |
| 52 | |
| 53 | # Create a profile from your current config |
| 54 | bridle profile create claude work --from-current |
| 55 | |
| 56 | # Switch between profiles |
| 57 | bridle profile switch claude personal |
| 58 | ``` |
| 59 | |
| 60 |  |
| 61 | |
| 62 | ## "Package Manager" for your harness |
| 63 | |
| 64 | With Bridle, you're able to install skills, agents, commands, and MCPs from any GitHub repository, similar to how Claude Code does it. With Bridle, however, you're not limited to just one harness; we auto-translate all the paths, namings, schemas, and configurations for you. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | ```bash |
| 67 | # Install from GitHub |
| 68 | bridle install owner/repo |
| 69 | |
| 70 | # What happens: |
| 71 | # 1. Bridle scans the repo for skills, agents, commands, and MCPs |
| 72 | # 2. You select which components to install |
| 73 | # 3. You choose target harnesses and profiles |
| 74 | # 4. Bridle translates paths and configs for each harness automatically |
| 75 | ``` |
| 76 | |
| 77 | **Why this matters:** A skill written for Claude Code uses `~/.claude/skills/`. The same skill on OpenCode lives at `~/.config/opencode/skill/`. MCPs follow different JSON/YAML schemas. Bridle handles all these differences for you. |
| 78 | |
| 79 | | Component | Claude Code | OpenCode | Goose | Copilot CLI | Crush | |
| 80 | | --------- | ----------- | -------- | ----- | ----------- | ----- | |
| 81 | | Skills | `~/.claude/skills/` | `~/.config/opencode/skill/` | `~/.config/goose/skills/` | `~/.copilot/skills/` | `~/.config/crush/skills/` | |
| 82 | | Agents | `~/.claude/plugins/*/agents/` | `~/.config/opencode/agent/` | — | `~/.copilot/agents/` | — | |
| 83 | | Commands | `~/.claude/plugins/*/commands/` | `~/.config/opencode/command/` | — | — | — | |
| 84 | | MCPs | `~/.claude/.mcp.json` | `opencode.jsonc` | `config.yaml` | `~/.copilot/mcp-config.json` | `crush.json` | |
| 85 | |
| 86 | ## Core Concepts |
| 87 | |
| 88 | **Harnesses** are AI coding assistants: `claude`, `opencode`, `goose`, `amp`, `copilot`, `crush` |
| 89 | |
| 90 | **Profiles** are saved configurations. Each harness can have multiple profiles (e.g., `work`, `personal`, `minimal`). Bridle copies the active profile's config into the harness's config directory when you switch. |
