Tame your AI coding agents.
Zero context rot, zero rule drift.
The tool-agnostic GitOps layer for autonomous coding. Prune the 40,000-token repository trash can, unify Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot into a single source of truth, and push architectural rules across 40+ repositories in Git.
Downloads the install utility and isolates dependencies using virtual environment containers.
Watch Sprawl prune context rot, compile GitOps rules across IDEs, and enforce safe boundaries in under 80 seconds.

Up and Running in 3 Steps
Synchronize your engineering rules and connect adapters to codebases within minutes.
Step 1
Import your organization's global rules repository onto your local development machine securely.
$ sprawl init
Step 2
Navigate to any software project directory to apply the standard inherited rules baseline.
$ cd legacy-service
$ sprawl graft
Step 3
Select relevant local overrides and compile configuration endpoints dynamically.
$ sprawl sync

Architectural Pillars
Designed for engineering teams who demand deterministic context, zero rule drift, and cross-repo governance for autonomous coding agents.
Eliminate Context Rot
The real pain isn't agents escaping—it's agents drowning in project junk. Blindly ingesting build caches, test fixtures, and lockfiles causes needle-in-a-haystack attention failures. Sprawl deterministically prunes repository context, slashing token burn by up to 40%.
Kill "Rule Drift" Hell
Engineers use different tools: Cursor (.cursorrules), Claude Code (CLAUDE.md), Copilot (copilot-instructions.md), and Windsurf. Sprawl maintains one source of truth in version-controlled .agents/ and compiles native configs across every assistant with sprawl bind.
Cross-Repo Fleet GitOps
Managing agent rules across 20 to 50 microservice repositories manually is unmaintainable. Sprawl propagates, validates, and commits centralized architectural DNA across your entire fleet in Git with a single command: sprawl ws push.
Solve the Mounting Paradox
Agents locked to a repository often need shared corporate design tokens or API schemas from another. Developers either expose their entire home folder or paste stale code. With sprawl mount, surgically link read-only alias fences (@shared-core) without exposing host secrets.

Zero Platform Lock-In
If Sprawl doesn't match your workflow patterns, strip everything out cleanly with a single command.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sprawl?
A free, local CLI that locks down your AI coding assistant configs. You write your rules once, Sprawl compiles them into native settings for VS Code, IntelliJ, Cursor, Visual Studio, and more. Everything lives in a .agents/ Git folder. No cloud. No account. Just one command.
How does Sprawl secure my code?
It sandboxes your workspace. AI agents can't escape the project boundary, touch parent directories, or leak credentials to external APIs. Sprawl maps every file path and restricts process-level access, so your IP stays on your machine, not in someone else's training set.
Does Sprawl collect telemetry or phone home?
Zero telemetry. Zero analytics. Zero network calls. Sprawl runs 100% on your local machine with a minimal, audit-verified dependency tree. You can read every line of it, it's BSL 1.1 licensed.
Which editors and AI tools are supported?
VS Code, IntelliJ, Cursor, Visual Studio, Claude, Gemini, and Google Antigravity, all from a single config. Sprawl is completely model-agnostic and IDE-agnostic, auto-compiling native workspace bounds and rules for any editor and LLM engine.
How do I configure rules, skills, and personas?
Drop markdown files into .agents/rules/, .agents/skills/, and .agents/personas/. They're version-controlled in Git, so changes go through pull requests like any other code. Run sprawl sync to compile, done.
