Fleet = CC + OpenCode + Kilo Code

Reintroduce OpenCode + Kilo Code. Rebut the 2026-07-02 drop reasons.

What changed

Everything public unlocks unlimited GHA minutes. Removes card-adjacent friction. Skills-CLI ecosystem matured to canonical status — npx skills is the standard sync mechanism (68+ agents supported, 2026-06 release).

Fleet

Agent	Role	Install	Config path (global)
Claude Code	Primary CLI	`npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`	`~/.claude/`
OpenCode	Personal-machine fallback + failover	`npm i -g opencode-ai`	`~/.config/opencode/`
Kilo Code	VS Code embedded workflows	`code --install-extension kilocode.Kilo-Code`	`~/.kilocode/`

Drop-reason rebuttals

Agent	Original drop reason (2026-07-02)	Rebuttal
OpenCode	Format-transformed MCP config doubled sync complexity	No workspace-level MCP sync needed. OpenCode reads own `~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc` authored separately. Skills inherit from `~/.claude/skills/` (native fallback per opencode.ai/docs/rules). Zero sync cost.
Kilo Code	No unique value over CC on same machine	VS Code embedded workflow provides Live Share + remote-tunnel + IDE-context scenarios CC CLI can't cover. User picks Kilo for in-editor pair programming, CC for terminal-shaped work.
ZCode / Antigravity / MiMoCode	GUI-only / no CLI parity / PATH caveat	NOT reintroduced. Original reasons stand.

Skills sync — `npx skills` CLI (canonical)

Source of truth: chirag127/agent-skills (public).

One command, all 3 agents:

npx skills add https://github.com/chirag127/agent-skills -g -a '*' -s '*' -y

Auto-sync (add + delete propagation):

Windows Scheduled Task: npx skills update -g -y daily at logon + 09:00
CC SessionStart hook: same command, silent, ~1s

Delete flow — delete skill in chirag127/agent-skills repo → push → next scheduled-task run or CC session → gone from all agents.

NEVER use npx skills remove -a <one-agent> <skill> — bug #287 deletes canonical, breaks other agents. Use npx skills remove <skill> (all agents) or delete in repo + npx skills update -g -y.

MCP config — per agent, env vars from system

Each agent authors its own MCP config. No cross-agent MCP sync. Secrets via ${env:VAR} — .env.enc decrypts to .env → daily Task Scheduler script exports every key to user-scope env.

Agent	MCP config location
CC	`.mcp.json` (workspace) + `~/.claude.json` (user)
OpenCode	`~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc`
Kilo Code	`~/.config/kilo/kilo.jsonc` (canonical) or `~/.kilocode/mcp.json` (legacy)

scripts/sync-mcp-configs.mjs DELETED — cross-agent MCP sync is no longer needed.

Rules impact

rules/agent/agent-fleet-parity.md — reintroduce 3-agent fleet table
rules/agent/mcp-config-single-source-of-truth.md — narrower scope (env-var pattern)
rules/agent/globals-derived-from-workspace.md — CC + OpenCode + Kilo derived targets
New: rules/agent/skills-cli-canonical.md — locks npx skills as sole sync mechanism

Bootstrap on new machine

Per install-and-bootstrap runbook. Sequence:

gh auth login
git clone --recurse-submodules chirag127/workspace C:\D\oriz
cd repos/own/backup && .\bootstrap.ps1 — installs everything + registers env Scheduled Task
npx -y skills add https://github.com/chirag127/agent-skills -g -a '*' -s '*' -y
Import age key from Bitwarden

Total: <10 min on new machine.

Failover

Bedrock down / Hr chain down → OpenCode with free-provider config becomes primary. Kilo Code fills VS-Code-embedded work.
