Quick Start
Get your first agent reporting to Feed in under 5 minutes.
1. Create an account
Go to tryfeed.dev and click Start free. Sign up with GitHub, GitLab, Google, or email.
Feed creates a personal workspace for you automatically on first sign-in.
2. Copy the setup prompt
From your dashboard, click Copy LLM Prompt. This generates a workspace-scoped API key and copies a prompt to your clipboard.
The prompt contains:
- Your Feed API URL and app URL
- Your workspace ID and a fresh API key
- Step-by-step instructions for the agent to install hooks and register itself
The prompt does not contain deployment secrets, database credentials, or admin keys.
3. Paste into a coding agent
Open Claude Code (or another supported agent) inside any repo and paste the prompt. The agent will:
- Save
FEED_API_URL,FEED_API_KEY, andFEED_WORKSPACE_IDto.env - Install the Feed hooks (bundled with the skill)
- Register itself with your Feed workspace
- Start sending events
4. Watch the feed
Return to your dashboard. Within seconds you'll see:
- The agent appear in the Active agents panel
- A
session_startevent in the feed with the repo path and branch - Heartbeat events as the agent works
- A
stopevent when the session ends
