Platforms

Assemble generates native configuration files for 21 AI coding platforms. Each platform reads its own config format — Assemble handles the translation.

The adapter pattern

Assemble uses an adapter pattern: the same agent definitions and workflows are translated into platform-specific formats. You define your team once, and Assemble generates the right files for each platform.

Agent definitions (.md)  →  Adapter  →  .cursorrules
                          →  Adapter  →  CLAUDE.md
                          →  Adapter  →  .github/copilot-instructions.md
                          →  Adapter  →  .windsurfrules
                          →  ...

How generation works

When you run npx cohesiumai-assemble or npx cohesiumai-assemble generate:

1. Read .assemble.yaml for platform list and configuration
2. Load agent definitions from .assemble/agents/
3. Load workflow definitions from .assemble/workflows/
4. For each platform: apply the adapter to produce the native config file
5. Write the generated files to the project root

What gets included in each file?

Each generated file contains:

• Orchestrator prompt (Jarvis routing logic)
• Agent definitions (filtered by relevance to the platform)
• Workflow definitions (adapted to the platform’s capabilities)
• Team configuration (roles, domains, collaboration rules)
• Project-specific context (from .assemble.yaml)

Platform-specific adaptations

Different platforms have different capabilities. Assemble adapts:

Feature	Cursor	Claude Code	Copilot
File-based context	.cursorrules	CLAUDE.md + .claude/rules/	.github/copilot-instructions.md
Sub-agent delegation	Limited	Agent tool	Limited
Multi-file support	Single file	Directory tree	Single file
Max context size	~6000 tokens	Large	~4000 tokens

Updating platform files

After changing your agent definitions or workflows:

npx cohesiumai-assemble generate

This regenerates all platform files while preserving your .assemble.yaml configuration.

Adding a new platform

As new AI coding tools emerge, Assemble adds adapters. To request a new platform:

1. Open an issue on GitHub
2. Include the platform name and its config file format
3. The community will build and test the adapter
