Show HN: Declarative, reproducible configuration materializer for AI agents

Enozunu(役小角

) is a declarative, reproducible cross-provider configuration materializer for AI agent tooling.

It centralizes human-authored definitions of AI-agent configuration sources and materializes them into target AI-native configuration paths.

Enozunu separates Skill and agent sources from the target-native files generated in each project.

Reuse Skills and agents declaratively. Declare sources and selections inenozunu.kdl

instead of copying configuration files between projects.Reproduce the same configuration everywhere.enozunu.kdl

andenozunu.lock.json

are the source of truth, so every developer machine and CI run materializes the same configuration from the same declarations.Distribute tool-specific Skills and agents without a custom installer. Tool authors can publish the artifacts and an Enozunu-compatible manifest declaration instead of implementing their own setup mechanism.

See Why or Why Not Enozunu? for the detailed use cases, responsibility boundaries, and current limitations.

Enozunu is not an interactive resource manager, marketplace, or installer for AI agent resources.

• It does not search for, recommend, or provide marketplace discovery of Skills or agents.
• It does not provide a GUI or an interactive install flow.

Its responsibility is limited to the resolve, lock, materialize, and verify flow described in the Overview, applied to what enozunu.kdl

declares. The responsibility boundary is declarativeness, reproducibility, and generated-output management — not how many kinds of artifacts can be installed or how they are discovered.

brew install tooppoo/tap-catalog/enozunu

scoop install enozunu
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tooppoo/enozunu/refs/heads/main/install.sh | sh

Enozunu manages where AI-agent configuration comes from and where it is materialized. You declare sources once in enozunu.kdl

, and Enozunu resolves them and writes them into each target AI's native paths.

Each run resolves the declared sources, records the resolved commits of mutable selections in enozunu.lock.json

, and materializes them into target paths. In CI, enozunu summon --frozen

materializes strictly from the lock and fails when the lock file is missing or lacks an entry for a mutable source; a clean git status

after that run verifies that the committed files have not drifted from the declared sources.

The supported target AIs are Claude and Codex. Both select from the same source pool, and each selection is materialized into that target's native path. For the exact placement of each artifact, see the supported targets guide.

Enozunu is in early design and its goal is intentionally narrow. Mutable Git selections are kept reproducible through enozunu.lock.json

; for the current scope and non-goals, see the v0.1.x goal, and for the initial phase, the v0.0.x goal.

Create a starter manifest filled with placeholder values:

enozunu init

This also generates .enozunu/.gitignore

so the resolver cache under .enozunu/cache/

stays out of version control.

Validate the manifest of the current project:

enozunu validate

Resolve declared sources and materialize them into target AI project paths:

enozunu summon

The first run records the resolved commit of every branch

and tag

selection in enozunu.lock.json

; later runs materialize those recorded commits. Commit the lock file to make runs reproducible across machines. Use enozunu summon --update

to follow moved refs and refresh the lock, and enozunu summon --frozen

in CI to fail instead of resolving anything the lock does not cover. See the generated output guide for details.

All commands operate on enozunu.kdl

in the project root by default. Use --manifest

and --project-root

to override the defaults.

A minimal manifest declares sources under provider

and target selections under consumer

:

enozunu config-version=1 {
  provider {
    skills {
      skill "git-kura" {
        git {
          url "https://github.com/tooppoo/reportage"
          branch "main"
          path ".claude/skills/git-kura"
        }
      }
    }
  }

  consumer {
    claude {
      use-skills "git-kura"
    }
  }
}

, local

, and gist

source references, see the manifest format guide.
