How to Use

["Define the task scope: Clearly outline the objective (e.g., 'refactor legacy code') and the number of agents needed (e.g., '3 agents for API, database, and frontend').","Set up Catnip: Install the Catnip CLI (`npm install -g catnip-cli`) or use the web/mobile interface to create a new automation project. Select your target language (Go, SwiftUI, or TypeScript).","Configure agents: Use the Catnip dashboard to assign roles to each agent (e.g., 'Agent 1: Parse Go files, Agent 2: Generate TypeScript interfaces'). Enable remote monitoring and set up synchronization (e.g., Redis for Go agents).","Run and monitor: Launch the agents via the CLI (`catnip start --project legacy-refactor`) or mobile app. Track progress in real-time on the Catnip dashboard, and use the built-in logs to debug any issues.","Validate and iterate: After completion, review the agents’ outputs (e.g., generated code, test results) and adjust the automation rules if needed. Save the configuration as a template for future use."]

Use Cases

Usage Examples

Prompt Template

Use Catnip to automate the following task: [TASK_DESCRIPTION]. Configure [NUMBER] Claude agents to work in parallel on [SPECIFIC_OBJECTIVE]. Set up remote monitoring via [WEB/MOBILE_INTERFACE] and ensure the agents are synchronized using [INTEGRATION_LANGUAGE]. Provide a step-by-step breakdown of the automation process, including error handling and progress tracking.

Example Output

I configured Catnip to automate the refactoring of a legacy Go codebase into modular microservices. I deployed 5 parallel Claude agents, each assigned to a specific service layer (API, database, business logic, authentication, and caching). The agents operated remotely via the Catnip mobile interface, with real-time progress updates pushed to my Slack channel. Each agent used Go’s `go/ast` package to parse and refactor the code, ensuring type safety and backward compatibility. The agents synchronized their changes using a shared Redis cache to avoid merge conflicts, and Catnip’s built-in conflict resolver automatically flagged and merged overlapping refactors. After 3 hours, the agents had processed 12,487 lines of code, reduced cyclomatic complexity by 42%, and generated a PR with 187 commits. The automation also included a post-refactor test suite run, which passed all 2,345 unit tests without failures.
