## What it is
Gentle-AI is a Go CLI tool that configures and enhances AI coding agents you already have installed (like Claude Code, OpenCode, or Cursor) rather than installing agents itself. It adds persistent memory, Spec-Driven Development workflows, curated skills, MCP servers, model routing, a teaching persona, and bounded native review to your existing agent setup.

## Use cases
- add persistent memory to my AI coding agent
- set up spec-driven development workflows for Claude Code
- configure MCP servers for my coding assistant
- make my AI coding agent teach me instead of just writing code
- route models across multiple AI coding agents
- enable bounded review evidence with receipt-driven development
- manage skills and personas for OpenCode or Cursor

## When to choose
- you already use an AI coding agent and want memory, skills, and structured workflows on top of it
- you want spec-driven or receipt-driven development enforced through your agent
- you want a teaching-oriented coding assistant persona
- you want one CLI to configure MCP servers and model routing across agents

## When to avoid
- you expect it to install an AI agent for you - it refuses if no agent is detected
- you want a standalone AI coding agent rather than a configurator
- you need a GUI-based configuration experience
