anywhere-agents helps you control how your AI tools work. You define your settings once and use them across every project. This system organizes your writing style, guides how agents make decisions, and adds safety checks for your files.
AI agents help with coding and writing. Often, these tools require separate setups for every folder or project. This leads to wasted time and inconsistent results. anywhere-agents acts as a bridge. It keeps your instructions in one place. These instructions follow you wherever you work.
The system focuses on three goals:
- Portability: Your configuration lives with your machine, not just inside one folder.
- Effectiveness: You control the writing style and the specific skills your agents use.
- Safety: The software adds guardrails to stop dangerous commands before they execute.
You need a Windows computer to run this software. Ensure you have at least 200MB of free disk space.
- Visit this page to download.
- Look for the file ending in
.exeunder the latest release section. - Click the file name to start the download.
- Open your Downloads folder.
- Double-click the file to start the installation.
- Follow the prompts on the screen.
The software functions as an overlay for your AI tools. When you start a new AI session, anywhere-agents scans your current folder for a configuration file. If it finds one, it applies your saved rules.
This process ensures your agents follow your preferences automatically. If you want your agent to write concise code or avoid specific folders, you define these rules once. The system handles the rest.
Safety remains a priority. Many AI tools can run commands on your computer. If an agent tries to run a command that modifies your system, anywhere-agents blocks the request. A small box appears on your screen. You then decide if the action is safe.
This guard covers:
- Deletion of files or folders.
- Changes to system settings.
- Network requests to unknown sources.
You manage your agents through a simple text file. This file uses standard Markdown format. You do not need to know programming languages to change your settings.
To update your rules:
- Open the anywhere-agents dashboard from your taskbar.
- Click the Config button.
- Edit the text displayed in the editor.
- Save the file.
- Restart your AI tool to load the changes.
If you experience issues, follow these steps:
- The agent does not see my settings: Ensure you saved the config file in the correct directory. Restart the agent service from the system tray.
- The software will not install: Right-click the installer and choose Run as Administrator.
- Commands are blocked incorrectly: You can add trusted folders to your "allow list" in the Settings menu.
Keep your configuration clean. Use small blocks of text to define different skills. For example, create a block for "Code Review" and another for "Documentation." This makes it easy for the system to identify which skills to activate based on your current project.
Always review the safety logs once a week. This helps you identify patterns in how your agents interact with your computer. If an agent asks for frequent access to sensitive folders, consider tightening your rules.
Regular updates keep the software stable. Check the download page every month for new features and safety patches. You can install the new version over the old one without losing your config file.
Do I need to pay for this? No. This software is free and open source.
Does it send my data to a server? The system acts locally on your machine. Your configuration and your commands stay on your computer.
Can I turn off the safety features? You can disable specific guardrails in the Settings menu for testing purposes. We recommend keeping these active for daily work.
Will it slow down my computer? The impact on your system remains low. It runs in the background and only activates when your AI agents start a task.
