Automating Your Dev Environment Setup with Vibe Manager

Power users love their Dotfiles. You script everything: your shell (Zsh), your editor (Neovim/VSCode), your tools (Brew).

But until now, your AI configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor) was a manual, click-ops mess.

Scripting the AI Setup

Vibe Manager is designed to be scriptable. It stores its internal state in standard, human-readable JSON files in ~/.vibemanager/.

This means you can include your Vibe Manager configuration in your Dotfiles repo.

Example Setup Script

#!/bin/bash

# 1. Install Apps
brew install --cask claude cursor vibe-manager

# 2. Symlink Configs
ln -s ~/dotfiles/vibe/profiles.json ~/.vibemanager/profiles.json
ln -s ~/dotfiles/claude/config.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

# 3. (Optional) Run Vibe Manager CLI to sync (Future Feature)
# vibe-cli sync --all

Immutable Infrastructure for Your Laptop

By treating your MCP configuration as code, you achieve Immutability. If your laptop breaks and you get a new one:

1. Git clone dotfiles.
2. Run setup script.
3. Open Claude.

It just works. Your specific tools, your custom prompts, your database connections—they are all there.
