You ask in the moment and get an answer. But next time you want the same thing, you have to explain the context, the tone, the standards all over again.
From chat to agents
Chat answers once. An agent keeps working.
So far you've mostly just asked GPT or Claude things in the moment. An agent is different — it saves the work you want to hand off again and again. Agentlas bundles that agent into a ZIP, and apps like Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Cursor read it, install it, and actually run it for you.
It remembers the role, the rules, the material, the things to watch out for. Drop the Agentlas ZIP into an app once, and from then on you can hand off the same work to the same standards.
Where do you take what Agentlas made?
Agentlas packs the agent's role, rules, questions, and setup guide into one bundle. From there you hand it to an app like Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI, and that's where the real work picks up.
Go ahead and create and save the draft on your phone. But for unzipping and handing the folder to an app, it's easier to pick up on a computer signed in with the same account.
Grab the ZIP from Agentlas and double-click to open it. Then just drop the resulting folder — or the README or AGENTS file inside — into Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor.
Drag the ZIP or README into Claude, ChatGPT, or Codex and say: I do not know terminal commands. Help me from installation, one step at a time.
Apps to install or open first
If you're new, don't start by typing terminal commands. Open the official app or guide page first, then just ask it to help install things and read your ZIP — it's a lot easier that way.
AgentlasAgent builder
Creates the agent ZIP with role, rules, skills, and setup guidance. You run it in one of the apps below.
Agentlas DesktopRun on your computer
Desktop app for working with Agentlas results alongside your local files — on Mac, Windows, or Linux.
CodexOpenAI execution app
OpenAI's coding agent. Start by giving it the ZIP or unzipped folder and asking it to help from installation.
Claude / Claude CodeEasy drag upload
Claude Desktop makes it easy to drag files into chat. Claude Code is the developer execution tool, so keep its setup guide nearby.
Gemini / Gemini CLIGoogle account
Gemini is good for reading and summarizing instructions. Gemini CLI is the developer tool that runs in a computer folder.
CursorCode editor
For opening a folder the first time, Cursor is the most beginner-friendly. Unzip, then pick the folder from File > Open Folder.
How to use the ZIP after download
The ZIP from Agentlas isn't just a file to keep around. It's what you feed an app so it can read the agent's role and rules and set them up.
After generation, save or download the agent. The .zip file usually appears in your Downloads folder.
Double-click the ZIP on Mac, Windows, or Linux. A folder with the same name appears. Inside are instruction files such as README, AGENTS, and SKILL.
In Cursor, use File > Open Folder. In Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, if you see file upload or drag-and-drop, add the ZIP, README, or AGENTS file.
If the app cannot accept the folder or ZIP, open README.md or AGENTS.md, copy the text, and paste it into chat.
After opening the app, say this
Once you've got Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI open, just paste one of these in. The main thing is to tell it up front that you don't really know terminal commands.
This ZIP is an agent package made by Agentlas. I do not know terminal commands well. First read README.md and AGENTS.md, then guide me one step at a time from which app to install, using button and menu names. Ask me before risky commands, payments, or deleting files.
Look at this folder and tell me how to use the Agentlas agent. First explain the file structure, then check which app or account is needed. Tell me only the clicks, drags, and pastes I need to do, in order.
If I need to open a terminal, first tell me how to open it on my operating system. Before each command, explain in plain language what it does, and get confirmation one line at a time.
The Agentlas creation flow
Example: Read customer questions and draft calm replies.
If you do not know the app, account, or file location, answer it later.
Role, rules, cautions, material, and workflow are organized together.
Save it in Agentlas or use it as reference in ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and other apps.
Words you will see
Prompt
A plain-language request to AI. It does not have to be perfect.
LLM
The large language model behind services like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
Skill
A reusable way to do one kind of work, such as drafting replies or summarizing reports.
Agent
A packaged worker with a goal, rules, material, tone, and skills.
Start the first request like this
If a terminal appears, understand it this way
A terminal is just an app where you type commands to your computer. On Mac, search Terminal in Spotlight; on Windows, Terminal or PowerShell from Start; on Linux, your built-in Terminal app. Don't try to figure it out alone — ask Codex or Claude to explain what a command does first, then take it slow.
Safe habits for first use
- Never put passwords, API keys, or customer data on public pages or GitHub.
- Payment, legal, medical, investment — anything that matters, a person checks it last.
- If an unfamiliar app wants to connect or asks for permissions, stop and look into it first.
- Before you publish, run it through an Agentlas security review so nothing sensitive slips out.
