What Setting Up Coral does

Setting Up Coral configures local agent runtimes as named bindings for coral tasks. Use it to register Claude, Codex, Cursor, or other runtimes, then validate them with `coral agents doctor` when a run reports missing runtimes or auth errors.

Setting Up Coral is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Setting Up Coral comes from a repository tagged agent-framework, agent-orchestration, agentic-ai, ai-agents and alpha-evolve.

README

Excerpt

Setting up coral (agent bindings)

After installing the coral CLI, the one-time machine setup is registering which agent runtimes you have as named bindings. A binding bundles a runtime + CLI command + default model + runtime options under a short name, stored at:

~/.config/coral/agents.yaml        # honors $XDG_CONFIG_HOME; override with $CORAL_AGENTS_CONFIG

Tasks then reference a binding by name (agents.binding: claude-opus) instead of repeating runtime/model in every task.yaml. This keeps task.yaml portable (topology: how many agents, which roles) and machine-specific details (which CLIs are installed here) in a user-level file that's never committed.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
