Quickstart — 10-minute path

From an empty laptop to an agent running on GCP Cloud Run, in under ten minutes. Measured, not estimated.

The short version:

# 1. Install
curl -sSL https://get.declaragent.dev | sh

# 2. Scaffold
declaragent init

# 3. Deploy
declaragent deploy gcp-cloud-run

Every step has an escape hatch for non-Linux / offline / non-GCP environments — see the linked pages below.

Walkthrough​

  1. Install — pick one of curl, npm, or Homebrew.
  2. Your first agent — template-driven path. Run declaragent init, pick concierge, talk to the agent locally.
  3. Conversational tour 🎯 — the recommended path. Converse with Declaragent to build a two-agent fleet end to end in ~15 minutes.
  4. Deploy to Cloud Run — takes the scaffolded fleet to a running Cloud Run service.
Which path should I take?

Use Conversational tour if you're new and want to see the headline capability first. Use First agent if you prefer templates + hand-editing YAML. Both converge on the same runtime — pick what matches your learning style.

What you'll end up with​

my-agent/
├── agent.yaml               # identity + system prompt
├── .env.example             # credentials template
├── channels.yaml            # optional — only when a channel is picked
├── event-sources.yaml       # optional — only for webhook/Kafka/etc templates
└── skills/
    └── concierge.md

Everything here is plain text. Commit it, branch it, git revert it — that's the entire point.
