Easy Agent — AI skill for Claude Code

easy-agent



What?

A very simple Typescript framework to build tool-wielding AI Agents.

`easy-agent` is a powerful, lightweight TypeScript framework designed for building AI agents with tool-use capabilities and prompt-caching. It supports Anthropic's Claude family of models.

Why?

• Simple: There's too much plumbing and setup in vanilla AI SDKs. You spend more time parsing JSON than iterating on your agent.
• Typescript First: TS > Python if you're already working in web apps.
• Minimal: You only need two concepts to make an awesome AI Agent: Agents and Tools. This package hides everything else and focuses on a good experience with those two concepts.

Features

• Hides configuration and plumbing behind two simple typesafe Agent and Tool classes.
• Start making a custom Agent with one function call in one file: start-here.ts.
• Sensible defaults which you can easily override
• Automatically handles the tool request/response cycle
• Supports message & stream modes
• Vigorous type-safety
• A few fun pre-baked Agents
• Use Agents in either CLI and Server Modes
• Prompt caching support

Setup

Make sure you have an ANTHROPIC_API_KEY key in your environment.

Install:

bun install

Run:

bun start

Usage

You can use `easy-agent` as project boilerplate or as a library.

Using As Project Boilerplate

Starting in CLI Mode

See `example.cli.ts` for a typical project setup in CLI Mode.

CLI Mode allows you to interact with your agents in a simple command-line interface.

Start it with `bun run start` or `bun run cli`.

Starting in Server Mode

Server Mode runs an Express server, allowing interaction with agents via HTTP requests.

See `example.server.ts` for a typical project setup in Server Mode.

1. Start the server:

   bun run server

2. The server will start on `http://localhost:3000`.
