Quick Start Guide

Option 1: Claude Code (Recommended)

bash
# Install all agents to your Claude Code directory
./scripts/install.sh --tool claude-code

# Or manually copy a category
cp engineering/*.md ~/.claude/agents/

Then activate any agent in your Claude Code sessions:

snippet
"Hey Claude, activate Frontend Developer mode and help me build a React component"

Option 2: Multi-Tool Installation

bash
# Step 1: Generate integration files for all supported tools
./scripts/convert.sh

# Step 2: Install interactively (auto-detects what you have installed)
./scripts/install.sh
