Calvin

Why Calvin?

Calvin solves the fragmentation problem in AI-assisted development. Instead of maintaining separate configurations for each AI tool (Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Antigravity, Codex), you write once in a standard format and deploy everywhere.

Quick Start

# Install Calvin (choose one)
brew install 64andrewwalker/tap/calvin  # macOS/Linux
irm ... | iex                           # Windows (see homepage)
cargo install calvin                    # via Rust toolchain

# Initialize a new project
calvin init

# Check configuration
calvin check

# Deploy to all enabled targets
calvin deploy

# Watch for changes
calvin watch
