Sync-Conf.Dev — Keep Your AI Agent Configs in Sync Across Projects

#webdev #programming #nextjs #opentelemetry

Managing configuration files for AI agents—whether for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or other tools—can quickly get messy as your projects grow. That’s where sync-conf.dev comes in: a lightweight CLI + online directory designed to help you synchronize AI agent configurations via Git with minimal fuss.

🚀 What Is Sync-Conf.Dev?

Sync-Conf.Dev is an AI agent configuration directory & sync tool that lets you:

  • Store and share agent config presets in a central repository.
  • Discover community-ranked configs for AI coding assistants.
  • Sync these configs across your machines and projects with a single command.

The tool targets developers and teams who use multiple AI assistants and want a consistent, reproducible setup without manually copying config files everywhere.

🛠️ How It Works

At its core, sync-conf works like this:

  1. Central source of configs — Keep all your AI agent presets in one place (e.g., your Git repo or the sync-conf directory).
  2. One-command sync — Run the CLI to pull down the latest configs and update your local environment.
  3. Share & version-control via Git — Because configs live in Git, you get history, collaboration, and rollback for free.

Though the official docs aren’t accessible at the time of writing, the homepage advertises a simple CLI experience:

$ npx sync-conf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This command syncs your agent configs and ensures every environment has the correct files.

📦 Typical Workflow

Here’s a typical way you might integrate sync-conf into your workflow:

Initialize Your Config Store

Create a Git repository (or use a directory) to store your agent configs and presets.

Example directory structure:

ai-configs/
├── claude/
│   └── settings.json
├── cursor/
│   └── rules.yaml
└── windsufr/
    └── presets.yml
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Run the Sync Command

In each project directory where you want your AI agent configs applied:

npx sync-conf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This pulls in the latest versions of your configs so all your tools are aligned.

Commit & Share

Commit changes back to Git so teammates or CI/CD systems can use the same configurations.

💡 Why Use Sync-Conf?

Here are a few clear benefits:

  • 💻 Consistency — All dev machines and CI environments get the same config.
  • 🕹️ Simplicity — One command does all the syncing.
  • 📦 Community Directory — Discover and reuse configs shared by other developers.

Imagine onboarding a new teammate and having them instantly ready with the right AI setups — no more manual copying or outdated files.

🎯 Wrapping Up

sync-conf.dev targets a real pain point for developers who depend on AI tooling: keeping configurations synchronized across projects and environments. With a Git-powered approach and a simple CLI entry point, you can streamline your setup process and build consistency into your workflows.

If you work with multiple AI assistants or contribute to a team that does, sync-conf.dev is worth a closer look.
