description	Scan, backup, restore and diff all your AI coding tool configurations

aidots

Manage personalized configurations across all your AI coding tools. Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, and Aider.

Commands

The user may invoke this skill with any of the following:

• /aidots or /aidots scan — Scan for installed AI coding tools and list personalized config files
• /aidots backup — Back up all configs to a Git repository
• /aidots diff — Compare local configs against the backup
• /aidots restore — Restore configs from backup to local machine

Behavior

scan

Run the scan script and present results to the user:

bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/scan.sh"

This detects installed AI coding tools, finds personalized config files, and shows a summary. Empty files, binary files, sensitive credentials, and system defaults are automatically excluded.

backup

1. Check if ~/.aidots/config.json exists with a backup_dir setting.
2. If not, ask the user to choose a backup directory. Suggest ~/dotai as the default. Once chosen, save it to ~/.aidots/config.json:

   {
     "backup_dir": "~/dotai",
     "created_at": "2026-02-18T16:00:00Z"
   }
   

3. If the backup directory does not exist, create it and run git init.
4. Run the backup:

   bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/backup.sh"
   

5. Report results to the user.

diff

1. Verify ~/.aidots/config.json exists. If not, tell the user to run /aidots backup first.
2. Run the diff:

   bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/diff.sh"
   

3. Summarize changes: new files, modified files, deleted files.

restore

1. Verify ~/.aidots/config.json exists. If not, ask the user for the backup directory path.
2. Run the restore:

   bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/restore.sh"
   

   For preview only:

   bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/restore.sh" --dry-run
   

3. The script will prompt for confirmation per tool. Report results when done.

Supported Tools

Detection is automatic based on scripts/tools.conf. Currently supported:

Tool	Config Directory
Claude Code	~/.claude/
Claude-Mem	~/.claude-mem/
Codex CLI	~/.codex/
Cursor	~/.cursor/
Gemini CLI	~/.gemini/
Antigravity	~/.antigravity/
GitHub Copilot	~/.copilot/
Windsurf	~/.windsurf/
Aider	~/.aider/

Tools not installed on the user's machine are silently skipped.

Adding New Tools

To add a new tool, edit scripts/tools.conf. Each line follows the format:

tool_id|Display Name|config_dir|include_globs|exclude_globs

Globs are comma-separated. Use ** for recursive matching.
