Coding Agent & IDE Adapter Compatibility

MultiModel Dev OS acts as an interoperability layer across modern developer agents, terminal assistants, and IDE extensions.

Agent Registry Mapping

Compatible configurations and destination files are detailed in [.ai/adapters/registry.yaml](file:///F:/multimodel-dev-os/.ai/adapters/registry.yaml):

adapters:
  continue:
    name: "Continue"
    config_file: ".continue/config.json"
    type: "editor-extension"
    docs: "docs/adapters.md"
  cline:
    name: "Cline"
    config_file: ".clinerules"
    type: "coding-agent"
    docs: "docs/agent-compatibility.md"
  roo-code:
    name: "Roo Code"
    config_file: ".clinerules"
    type: "coding-agent"
    docs: "docs/agent-compatibility.md"
