Summary

This repository provides a Claude Code skill designed to guide technical founders through the process of building and deploying custom agents using Claude Managed Agents (CMA). It automates the workflow from initial idea conception and scoping a minimum viable version (v0) to launching, grading, iterating, and scheduling the agent within the user's own Anthropic account, offering a complete reference implementation for agent development.

How It Works

The project leverages Claude Code's skill system, with the core launch-your-agent skill orchestrating a four-phase process: interviewing the user for requirements, staging and launching the agent, grading its performance against defined criteria, and iterating based on feedback. A companion wrap-up skill finalizes the process by generating an overview and suggesting future improvements. The system maps user interview responses to CMA primitives, streamlining the configuration and deployment of agents.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install/run command: Clone the repository (git clone <this-repo>), navigate into it (cd <this-repo>), and run claude, then invoke the skill with /launch-your-agent. Skills are automatically discovered within the .claude/skills/ directory.
• Prerequisites: Claude Code must be installed and signed in. An Anthropic API key is required, which is configured locally via a .env file.
• Resource footprint: Execution costs are minimal, estimated at "cents."
• Relevant links: CMA documentation is available at https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/overview.

Highlighted Details

• Automated agent lifecycle management: from idea interview to scheduled deployment.
• Generates comprehensive project artifacts, including a build sheet, API payloads, launch scripts, evaluation scaffolds, and a future development roadmap (NEXT-DIRECTIONS.md).
• Provides a wrap-up skill to summarize completed work and outline next steps.
• Acts as a reference implementation for building agents with CMA.
