What is Lola?

Lola is a universal AI Context Package Manager — and the foundation for AI as Code.

If a Skill were a package, Lola would be the package manager for it.

Write your skills and context modules once as portable packages, then install them to any AI assistant or agent with a single command. Agent settings, MCP configurations, skills, commands, and context dependencies — all managed as code, versioned, and distributable.

  • lola mod add — fetches a module into the global registry (~/.lola/modules/)
  • lola install — installs from the registry into the project, generating native files per target
  • lola update — regenerates all target-specific files from installed modules
  • lola sync — installs everything declared in .lola-req (team declarative management)

Where Lola Is Heading

Lola started as a way to share context across AI coding assistants. The vision is broader: make Lola the standard distribution layer for AI context across any agent — coding assistants and fully autonomous systems alike.

  • Roadmap — universal agent support, trusted catalogs, supply chain security
  • Why Lola — how Lola compares to alternatives in this space
