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
A Package Manager for AI Context
How software engineering solved DLL hell and raw C:\libs zip dumps in 1995 with package managers and manifests is how Sprawl solves prompt folklore in 2026. Declare rules once in version-controlled Git: compile deterministic context bounds across every assistant.
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 -74%.
Kill "Rule Drift" Hell
Engineers use different tools: Cursor (.cursorrules), Claude Code (CLAUDE.md), Copilot (copilot-instructions.md), and Antigravity. 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.
Context Clamping FinOps
Autonomous coding fleets fail on economics before they fail on capabilities.
The Token Drain
Re-injecting dead dependencies, test fixtures, and global caches costs up to $40 per syntax bug in context attention bloat and model hallucination.
Subtree Clamping
Clamping search context strictly to active feature subtrees slashes model spend by up to 74% while eliminating cross-module attention noise.
Task Attribution
Workstation SQLite ledger attributes token spend per task and git branch out-of-band with zero cloud gateway and zero proxy latency.
Configure Your Workspace DNA
A visual TUI to customize your workspace DNA. Select active personas, rules, and skills, define paths, and compile bindings for your IDE assistants.
Navigate: Click to Select | Toggle: Click/Space | Confirm: Click Sync
version: "1.0" active_persona: "master-engineer" rules: - "engineering.md" - "planning_artifacts.md" skills: - "challenge-me" - "sprawl-design-system" bindings: cursor: ".cursorrules" copilot: "copilot-instructions.md"
Model Execution Safeguards
Watch how different frontier models process sandboxing guardrails under Sprawl containment rules in real time.
Deterministic Isolation
Models explicitly refuse path traversal attempts outside the designated project root (such as ~/.ssh, ~/Downloads, or host credentials).
Multi-Model Parity
Fences compile natively across Gemini, Claude Opus, GPT-OSS, and local LLMs. One GitOps source of truth enforces identical guardrails regardless of the assistant.
Zero Token Bleed
Out-of-boundary requests fail fast before triggering expensive context dumps or large directory scans, preserving developer token budgets.
Zero Platform Lock-In
If Sprawl doesn't match your workflow patterns, strip everything out cleanly with a single command.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Sprawl's local runtime, sandboxing, and IDE integration.
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 scopes your workspace. AI agents are kept within the project boundary and cannot touch parent directories or leak credentials through MCP tools. Sprawl maps file paths and restricts MCP file access to your workspace, 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.
