Preconfiguration deals with that before the agent arrives. You write the machine down once, in <code>preconfig.yaml</code>, and the <code>preconfig</code> command turns it into a setup file for each platform: a dev container definition, the setup steps GitHub Copilot runs, Cursor&rsquo;s environment file, a cloud-init file and a plain shell script. Version 0.1.0, with Preconfig Doctor built in, has been on the <a href="https://github.com/Preconfiguration/preconfig/releases/latest">releases page</a> for Linux, macOS and Windows since 8 October.</p>
