Instead of manually configuring environment variables and settings, developers can launch supported tools like Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, and Droid with a single command. The feature automatically detects tools, prompts for model selection, applies recommended context lengths, and starts the tool immediately. It supports both local models for privacy-focused workflows and cloud models for larger context windows, making it easier to integrate AI assistance into development workflows without repetitive setup. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
