{"slug": "agent-launch-one-cli-for-local-coding-agents", "title": "Agent Launch: one CLI for local coding agents", "summary": "A developer created Agent Launch, a unified command-line interface that provides a consistent workflow for seven different local coding agents including Codex, Claude Code, and Cursor Agent. The tool, accessed via the single `agl` command, standardizes flags for prompts, working directories, modes, model choices, and non-interactive runs across backends. Agent Launch generates the appropriate backend-specific command underneath, allowing users to switch between agents without memorizing different flag systems.", "body_md": "I built Agent Launch because I kept switching between local coding-agent CLIs and forgetting which flags each one used for prompts, working directories, modes, model choices, resume, and non-interactive runs.\n\nAgent Launch gives me one command, `agl`\n\n, with a consistent interface for:\n\nIt currently supports Codex, Claude Code, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Antigravity, and random selection across backends.\n\nExample:\n\n```\nagl -a codex -C ~/Code/app --mode auto \"fix the failing tests\"\n```\n\nThe goal is small: make switching between local AI coding agents boring. Same workflow, same muscle memory, backend-specific command generated underneath.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-launch-one-cli-for-local-coding-agents", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/dhruv_anand_aintech/agent-launch-one-cli-for-local-coding-agents-2fm2", "published_at": "2026-05-26 11:50:01+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-05-26 12:03:49.478581+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-agents", "ai-products", "artificial-intelligence", "generative-ai"], "entities": ["Agent Launch", "Codex", "Claude Code", "Cursor Agent", "Gemini CLI", "OpenCode", "Antigravity"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-launch-one-cli-for-local-coding-agents", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-launch-one-cli-for-local-coding-agents.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-launch-one-cli-for-local-coding-agents.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/agent-launch-one-cli-for-local-coding-agents.jsonld"}}
