Agent
An artificial intelligence program that doesn’t just answer, but also takes steps by itself: it reads files, runs commands, makes changes. You give it the task, and it sees it through.
How it appears in the course
It’s an agent: an assistant that receives a task, makes its own plan, and carries out the steps one after another.
Claude is an agent: it takes steps on its own, but asks you before it changes anything.
Copy the agents from the starter-kit into the project. Run /agents and check whether they appear in the list.
