Your First 5 Minutes with Syllago
Syllago is a package manager for AI coding tool content. This guide walks you through the basics — from discovering what you already have to sharing content with your team.
Step 1: Discover What You Have
If you already use an AI coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, etc.), you probably have rules, skills, or configs worth managing. Import them:
syllago add --from claude-code
syllago add --from cursor
syllago add --from gemini-cli
This scans the provider's default location, finds content, and copies it into your syllago library. Nothing is modified in the original location.
Run syllago list to see what was imported.
Step 2: Browse Your Library
Launch the interactive TUI:
syllago
Navigate with:
- Tab to move between the sidebar and content area
- Arrow keys to browse items
- Enter to inspect an item's details
- ? to see all keyboard shortcuts
The sidebar shows content types (Skills, Rules, Agents, etc.) and collections (Library, Loadouts, Registries). Click or arrow to any section to explore.
Step 3: Install to Another Provider
Content in your library can be installed to any supported provider. Syllago handles format conversion automatically.
syllago install skills/my-skill --to cursor
syllago install rules/my-rule --to windsurf
syllago install --all --to gemini-cli
A Claude Code skill becomes a Kiro steering file, a Cursor rule becomes a Windsurf rule — syllago translates formats, tool names, and metadata.
Step 4: Add a Registry
Registries are git repos containing shared content. Add one to browse community or team content:
syllago registry add https://github.com/your-team/ai-configs.git
syllago registry sync
Registry content appears in the TUI with a badge showing its source. Browse with syllago registry items or in the TUI's Registries section.
Step 5: Create a Loadout
Loadouts are curated bundles of content for a specific provider. Create one for your team:
syllago loadout create
The interactive wizard walks you through selecting a provider, naming the loadout, and choosing which items to include. Share the loadout via a registry so teammates can apply it in one step:
syllago loadout apply my-team-loadout
