DevSync¶

AI-powered dev config distribution across AI coding assistants.

DevSync extracts coding practices from any project and installs them into 23+ AI coding assistants with intelligent adaptation. Two commands replace hours of manual configuration copying.

Quick Start¶

# Install DevSync
$ pip install devsync

# Configure your LLM provider (one-time)
$ devsync setup

# Check which AI tools are detected
$ devsync tools

# Extract practices from a project with existing rules
$ cd ~/my-team-project
$ devsync extract --output ./team-standards --name team-standards

# Install those practices into another project
$ cd ~/new-project
$ devsync install ~/my-team-project/team-standards

See the full quickstart guide for a 5-minute walkthrough.

Why DevSync?¶

For teams:

• Consistency -- everyone uses the same AI instructions and tool configs
• Onboarding -- new developers get configured in minutes, not hours
• Compliance -- enforce security policies and review checklists automatically
• No secrets in Git -- credentials stay local, configurations are shared

For individuals:

• Portable -- same setup across all your machines
• Composable -- layer company, team, and personal configs
• Works without AI -- graceful degradation to file-copy mode when no API key
• Safe -- conflict resolution, checksums, installation tracking

Supported IDEs¶

Multi-file IDEs¶

Single-file IDEs¶

How It Works¶

┌─────────────────┐     ┌──────────────────┐     ┌─────────────────┐

1. Extract practices from a project's existing rules, MCP configs, and commands
2. Share the resulting package via Git or local directory
3. Install into any project -- AI adapts practices to the recipient's existing setup
4. Track installations in .devsync/packages.json for management
