agnix

Lint agent configurations (Skills, Hooks, MCP, Memory, Plugins) before they break a workflow, across Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Kiro, Cursor, GitHub Copilot and other tools.

Run

  1. agnix --version. If it is missing, install with npm install -g agnix or cargo install agnix-cli.
  2. agnix . (or the path the user named).
  3. If the user asked for fixes: agnix --fix ., then run step 2 again to confirm what remains. Otherwise change no files; agnix --dry-run . previews the fixes.
