Gandalf makes AI-agent setup reversible
A command-line tool for declaring, checking, and safely applying MCP servers, skills, and hooks across Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.
Field notes
The workflow centers on a gandalf.toml manifest and a shared skills directory. Its drift check is designed to run both locally and in CI, while application preserves personal hooks, plugins, and themes rather than replacing the entire setup. The page also describes environment-variable interpolation at apply time and automatic pre-apply snapshots for restoration. Installation is offered through Homebrew, curl, or Go, and the homepage states that no account is required.
