Show HN: Agentctl – Terraform for your agent harnesses

A developer has released Agentctl, an open-source tool that provides Terraform-style management for AI agent harnesses, allowing users to configure multiple CLI tools like opencode, Claude, and agy from a single declarative setup. The tool manages skills, model configuration, and guardrails, with support for syncing configurations across machines. The project is experimental and currently has 1 point and 1 comment on Hacker News.

Using several different cli tools like opencode, claude, agy - I have to setup them separately. But at least my experience is that I would like to have more or less the same setup between tools, just to use different models. Also would be good to have a simple way to store and sync this configuration between different machines.

So I am experimenting with a tool that basically gives you Terraform-style management for agents.

I know that many people would like if they all just use shared folder like ~/.agent(s), but for me it will never happen. It's like wait that GCP and AWS will unify API.

So far It can manage skills, model setup, guardrails and more. Declaring globals that used between tools with ability to override them.

Just experimenting with idea, not sure where will it go
