Adapters

Adapters define how Agloom transpiles canonical configurations into agent-specific files. Each adapter targets a specific AI coding assistant.

Adapter Table

ID	Description	Output Files	Hidden
claude	Claude Code	CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json	No
opencode	OpenCode	opencode.json	No
agentsmd	AGENTS.md (Codex, OpenCode, KiloCode, ...)	AGENTS.md, AGENTS.override.md	Yes
kilocode	KiloCode	(none)	No
codex	Codex (OpenAI)	(none)	No
gemini	Gemini (Google)	GEMINI.md	No

Per-Adapter Details

claude

• Instructions file: CLAUDE.md
• Dependencies: None
• Output paths:

Type	Path
Skills	.claude/skills
Agents	.claude/agents
Commands	.claude/commands
Docs	.claude/docs
Schemas	.claude/schemas

• Target files: CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json
• Overlay import paths: .claude, **/CLAUDE.md, .mcp.json

opencode

• Instructions file: None (uses AGENTS.md via agentsmd dependency)
• Dependencies: agentsmd
• Output paths:

Type	Path
Skills	.opencode/skills
Agents	.opencode/agents
Commands	.opencode/commands
Docs	.opencode/docs
Schemas	.opencode/schemas

• Target files: opencode.json
• Overlay import paths: .opencode, opencode.json

OpenCode does not have its own instruction file format. The AGENTS.md file is generated by the agentsmd adapter, which is automatically included as a dependency.

agentsmd

• Instructions file: AGENTS.md
• Dependencies: None
• Output paths: (none -- empty paths object)
• Target files: AGENTS.md, AGENTS.override.md
• Overlay import paths: .agents, **/AGENTS.md, **/AGENTS.override.md
• Hidden: Yes -- cannot be specified in config or via --adapter. Included only as a dependency of other adapters or when using --all.

The agentsmd adapter produces the AGENTS.md format used by multiple AI coding assistants (OpenCode, KiloCode, Codex, and others).

kilocode

• Instructions file: None (uses AGENTS.md via agentsmd dependency)
• Dependencies: agentsmd
• Output paths:

Type	Path
Skills	.kilo/skills
Agents	.kilo/agents
Commands	.kilo/commands
Docs	.kilo/docs
Schemas	.kilo/schemas

• Target files: (none)
• Overlay import paths: .kilo

codex

• Instructions file: None (uses AGENTS.md via agentsmd dependency)
• Dependencies: agentsmd
• Output paths:

Type	Path
Skills	.agents/skills
Agents	.codex/agents

Note: Codex places skills in .agents/skills/ (not .codex/skills/).

• Target files: (none)
• Overlay import paths: .codex, .agents

gemini

• Instructions file: GEMINI.md
• Dependencies: None
• Output paths:

Type	Path
Skills	.gemini/skills
Agents	.gemini/agents
Commands	.gemini/commands
Docs	.gemini/docs
Schemas	.gemini/schemas

• Target files: GEMINI.md
• Overlay import paths: .gemini, **/GEMINI.md

Instructions	Yes	No-op	Yes	No-op	No-op	Yes
Commands	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes (as skills)	Yes (TOML)

Overlays	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes

Adapters marked "No-op" for Instructions return an empty array -- their instruction files are generated by a dependency adapter (typically agentsmd).

Adapters marked "No" for Skills/Agents have an empty paths object and do not produce skill or agent directories.

For Commands: Codex converts commands into skill packages at .agents/skills/. Gemini converts commands from Markdown to TOML format. See Transpilers for full details on the commands transpiler.

Dependencies

Dependencies are resolved automatically. When you specify an adapter (via config or --adapter), its dependencies are included before it in topological order.

Adapter	Depends On
claude	(none)
opencode	agentsmd
agentsmd	(none)
kilocode	agentsmd
codex	agentsmd
gemini	(none)

Example: Specifying opencode in config results in the transpilation order: agentsmd then opencode.

Hidden Adapters

Hidden adapters have hidden: true and:

• Cannot be specified in .agloom/config.yml.
• Cannot be used with --adapter.
• Do not appear in agloom adapters output.
• Are included only via dependsOn of another adapter, or when using --all.

Currently, agentsmd is the only hidden adapter.
