CAMI Documentation

First-Time Setup

After installation, you need to add agent sources to your workspace. This takes about 2 minutes.

Step 1: Open Your Workspace

Navigate to your CAMI workspace and start Claude Code:

bash
cd ~/cami-workspace
claude

Step 2: Run Onboarding

Ask Claude to help you get started:

text
You: "Help me get started with CAMI"
Claude: "I'll guide you through adding agent sources and setting up your
        first agents. There are some official agent guilds available, or
        you can create custom agents from scratch, add your team's library,
        or start with just my-agents/ and build your own collection.
        What would you like to do?"

Claude will guide you through your options without being prescriptive. You choose your own path.

Step 3: Add Agent Sources

There are several ways to get agents into CAMI:

Option A: Add an Official Guild

Lando Labs maintains public agent guilds you can add:

GuildBest ForURL
fullstack-guildMERN stack web developmenthttps://github.com/lando-labs/fullstack-guild.git
content-guildWriting, marketing, documentationhttps://github.com/lando-labs/content-guild.git
game-dev-guildPhaser 3 game developmenthttps://github.com/lando-labs/game-dev-guild.git

To add a guild manually:

text
You: "Add the fullstack-guild"
Claude: *uses mcp__cami__add_source with url="https://github.com/lando-labs/fullstack-guild.git"*
"✓ Cloned fullstack-guild to ~/cami-workspace/sources/fullstack-guild
 ✓ Found 7 agents
 ✓ Source is compliant"

You can add multiple guilds - they work together through the priority system.

Option B: Create Custom Agents

Use agent-architect to create agents tailored to your needs:

text
You: "I need an agent for Kubernetes health checks"
Claude: *uses agent-architect to gather requirements and create the agent*

Option C: Add Your Team's Library

If your team has a shared agent repository:

text
You: "Add our team agents from https://github.com/myteam/agents.git"

Option D: Start From Scratch

You can skip adding any sources and build your own collection in my-agents/ over time.

Step 4: Verify Your Setup

Check that agents are available:

text
You: "Show me available agents"
Claude: "You have access to these agents:
From fullstack-guild (priority 100):
  - react-frontend - React components, hooks, state management
  - express-backend - Express APIs and middleware
  - mongodb-specialist - MongoDB schemas and queries
  ... (and more)
From my-agents (priority 10):
  - (none yet - create custom agents here!)"

Priority tip: Lower numbers win. Your personal agents (priority 10) override team agents (50), which override guild agents (100). Learn more about priority.

That's It!

Your workspace is ready. You now have:

  • Agent sources available for deployment
  • my-agents/ directory for your custom agents
  • config.yaml tracking your sources

Quick Troubleshooting

CAMI tools not available? Make sure you're in ~/cami-workspace/ and restart Claude Code.
