AutoAgents turns agent setup into a package-manager mental model: scan the repo, match the stack and editor, then install the right curated agents into the right AI assistant directory.

◇ The problem
Where they were stuck.
Teams experimenting with coding agents were still copying prompts and agent files by hand. AutoAgents needed a clear product story around deterministic matching, registry-driven installs, and cross-editor agent setup that feels as simple as `npm install`.
◇ Our approach
How we shipped it.
- 01
Framed the CLI around a familiar developer primitive: auto-installing the right agents for the current repo instead of asking users to browse and place files manually.
- 02
Made the homepage prove the workflow quickly: scan, match, install, then show live registry items so the value is visible above the fold.
- 03
Connected the CLI, registry, and website into one coherent product narrative with clear paths for `plan`, `suggest`, and direct install flows.
- 04
Positioned AutoAgents as the agent counterpart to package management, while keeping the output grounded in real target directories like `.claude/agents/`, `.cursor/agents/`, `.windsurf/agents/`, and `.codex/agents/`.
