Caliber auto-builds AI coding configs locally

Caliber is a local-first CLI that scans a codebase and generates updated config and prompt files for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. It runs on your machine with your own key and tries to keep prompts concise to save tokens.

// ANALYSIS

This is a genuinely useful kind of boring: it tackles setup drift and prompt bloat, two problems most AI coding tools quietly create.

  • Best fit is teams or solo devs juggling multiple assistants and wanting one repo-aware setup flow
  • Local execution is a strong privacy and trust win, especially for people using local LLMs or sensitive codebases
  • The token-efficiency angle is practical, not flashy; shorter prompts usually matter more than people admit
  • Open source plus an `npx` entry point lowers friction, which matters a lot for tooling in this category
  • Main risk is heuristic quality: config generators are only as good as the repo signals they infer, so edge cases and opinionated defaults will decide whether this feels magical or noisy
