`cu configure` by kpenfound · Pull Request #137 · dagger/container-use

kpenfound · 2025-06-26T20:56:41Z

Paired on this with Warp.

An interactive experience to configure your agent with container-use

Currently supports:

Claude Code
Goose
Cursor
Codex
Amazon Q

Leaving other agents out for now to get this POC in. Some agents require the user to configure things in a UI instead of an easily editable config file.

The interactive UI uses bubbletea for a nice experience.

This should add container use to your existing agent configuration, or create a configuration that enables container use. If container use is already configured, we should not break that. This should be able to run multiple times.

Bonus: I ran into some errors with environment_file_read and fixed naming consistency and range validation on this branch

There's a couple of features from #105 you may want to consider porting here. Maybe.

Play nice with existing rule files. Like, append to the rules file and use a markdown marker as delimiter to be re-entrant (e.g. on next run, update only the container-use instructions)
Agent Auto-Detection with Manual Override: oftentimes we can guess the user's agent (.cursor, .claude, CLAUDE.md, ...) and not ask the user
Auto-Approve MCP tools

As a nit, there's no need to download any files from cu configure, the rules are available in a go embed (rules.AGENT or something?)

@aluzzardi this should play nice with existing rules files now

auto detection makes sense, should be easy enough to check for local configs. Maybe an additional "auto" option in the interactive flow to update all local configs for container-use?
I added the auto-approve configs for codex to try it out. I need to double check the configurations for the other agents
yeah i can definitely embed the rules files, thats a good call

aluzzardi

Nice! Left a bunch of minor comments

Also, question: should this be cu configure or cu mcp configure or cu agent configure? Concerned about "giving away" the top-level configure command which could be used to configure the environment itself?

cmd/cu/configure.go

aluzzardi · 2025-07-03T22:16:40Z

cmd/cu/configure.go

+	Short: "Configure MCP server for different agents",
+	Long:  `Setup the container-use MCP server according to the specified agent including Claude Code, Goose, Cursor, and others.`,
+	RunE: func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) error {
+		if len(args) == 0 {


we should probably open the repository at this point (to make sure we're actually in a repo) and also get the repo.SourcePath() and make sure all commands are relative to this path?

e.g. it's filepath.Join(repo.SourcePath(), ".cursor", ...) rather than just .cursor

We also may want to let the user select between local and global. ./.cursor vs ~/.cursor

Naming:

cu config agent makes sense to me (no strong opinion though)

not sure about cu config env since it (at least in the current implementation) has a bunch of sub-commands: e.g. base-image set, env set ... and cu config env env set would be weird :D

But:

cu config agent <-- this PR
cu config base-image set <-- the other PR
cu config secret add <-- soon to be PR
cu config <-- interactive

Makes sense I think?

@aluzzardi agreed, I'll move the configure command and add an interactive entrypoint for cu config

cwlbraa · 2025-07-08T22:29:54Z

can we get some sort of manual test harness for this? like maybe something that plops out a gitignored directory full of freshly configured empty git repos and best-effort opens a bajillion agent apps?

(trying to be productive about the fact i hate how untestable this is lol)
