Run an Anthropic Claude Managed Agent — a cloud agent harness (container + filesystem + tools), the cloud counterpart of the local wasm-agent runtime
Profile →npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill managed-agent --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Managed Agent (Anthropic cloud runtime) `ruflo-agent` has two agent runtimes behind one mental model: | Runtime | Tools | Use it when | |---|---|---| | **WASM** (local, `rvagent`) | `wasm_agent_*` / `wasm_gallery_*` | fast, free, ephemeral, offline, untrusted code in a sandbox | | **Managed** (Anthropic cloud) | `managed_agent_*` (this skill) | long-running / async work (minutes–hours), a real cloud container with pre-installed packages + network, persistent filesystem + transcript across turns | This skill drives the **managed** runtime — Anthropic's [Claude Managed Agents](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/overview) (beta). The model: **Agent** (model + system + tools + MCP servers + skills) → **Environment** (container template) → **Session** (running instance) → **Events** (turns / tool-use / status, persisted server-side). See `docs/adr/0001-wasm-contract.md` and project ADR-115. ## Prerequisites - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` (or `CLAUDE_API_KEY`) in the environment, with Claude Managed Agents beta access. - If absent, every `managed_agent_*` tool returns a structured "use `wasm_agent_create` for a local no-key runtime" error — fall back to the WASM skill. ## Steps

What does the managed-agent skill do?
Run an Anthropic Claude Managed Agent — a cloud agent harness (container + filesystem + tools), the cloud counterpart of the local wasm-agent runtime
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ruvnet/ruflo --skill managed-agent --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ruvnet/ruflo, a repository with 67,015 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
