The guide covers cloning the repo, installing agents for Claude Code (via an install script that copies files to ~/.claude/agents/), Cursor, and other tools like Copilot, Gemini CLI, Aider, and Windsurf. It explains the anatomy of an agent file (identity, core mission, critical rules, deliverables, workflow, success metrics), demonstrates a real multi-agent workflow for shipping a feature using Backend Architect, Frontend Developer, Database Optimizer, and Code Reviewer agents in sequence, and walks through writing a custom agent from scratch. An Agents Orchestrator agent is also available for coordinating multi-agent tasks automatically. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
