The Contains Studio AI Agents repository represents a paradigm shift in how development teams approach rapid prototyping and product creation. This comprehensive collection of 30+ specialized AI agents transforms the traditional development workflow by providing domain-specific expertise at every stage of the development lifecycle.
Unlike generic AI assistants, each agent in this system is meticulously crafted with deep domain knowledge, specific tools, and contextual understanding of rapid development principles. Whether you’re building a meditation tracking app, analyzing user feedback, or optimizing app store presence, there’s a specialized agent ready to accelerate your workflow.
The entire agent system is built around the philosophy of 6-day sprints - the idea that you can build, test, and ship meaningful products in just six days. This isn’t about cutting corners; it’s about leveraging AI expertise to eliminate bottlenecks and focus on what matters most: delivering value to users.
Each agent follows a carefully designed structure:
---
name: agent-identifier
description: When to use + detailed examples
color: visual-identification
tools: specific-capabilities
---
The system prompt for each agent contains:
Before installing the agents, ensure you have:
~/.claude/agents/ directorygit clone https://github.com/contains-studio/agents.git
cd agents
cp -r * ~/.claude/agents/
cp -r engineering/ ~/.claude/agents/ cp -r design/ ~/.claude/agents/ cp -r marketing/ ~/.claude/agents/
3. **Restart Claude Code**
After copying the agents, restart Claude Code to load the new agents into the system.
4. **Verify Installation**
Test the installation by describing a task that should trigger an agent:
“Create a new app for tracking meditation habits”
This should automatically invoke the `rapid-prototyper` agent.
