# What is the Agent Platform Template?

> The leanest foundation for an agent platform: AgentOS, Postgres, Docker, Railway, with Claude Code prompts that build and improve agents for you.

The Agent Platform template is a foundational codebase for an agent platform. FastAPI on port 8000, Postgres for sessions and memory, Docker for local, Railway for production, two reference agents, and a set of Claude Code prompts that create, improve, and eval new agents.

Once it's running, ship a new agent without writing code. Claude Code uses the prompts in the template's `docs/` folder to generate the agent file, register it, restart the container, and smoke-test it. Then it reads the container logs to recursively improve what it built.

## Why an agent platform

Every team running agents in production hits the same shape of problem: agents need a system to run on. Sessions live somewhere. Traces live somewhere. Tools and credentials live somewhere. Without a platform, each new agent stitches its own version of the same six concerns. With one, you build agents and the platform handles the rest.

## What an agent platform needs

| Layer              | Responsibility                                                               |
| ------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Runtime**        | The service that runs agents. SSE streaming, sessions, scheduling, RBAC.     |
| **Storage**        | Sessions, memory, knowledge, traces, eval history. One database.             |
| **Connectors**     | Tools, MCP servers, APIs, CLIs the agents reach out to.                      |
| **Interfaces**     | Slack, Discord, Telegram, custom UIs. One place to resolve user identity.    |
| **Infrastructure** | Where it all runs. Docker locally, Railway (or any container host) for prod. |

This template gives you all five.

## What you'll build

This tutorial takes you from clone to a deployed agent platform in six steps:

| Step                                                             | What happens                                                 |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [Setup](/tutorials/agent-platform/setup)                         | Run AgentOS and Postgres locally with Docker Compose.        |
| [Create an agent](/tutorials/agent-platform/create-an-agent)     | Claude Code generates a new agent from a prompt.             |
| [Improve an agent](/tutorials/agent-platform/improve-an-agent)   | Claude Code reads container logs and iterates.               |
| [Evals](/tutorials/agent-platform/evals)                         | Lock in behavior with regression tests.                      |
| [Deploy to Railway](/tutorials/agent-platform/deploy-to-railway) | One command to provision Postgres, app, and a public domain. |
| [Next steps](/tutorials/agent-platform/next-steps)               | Teams, workflows, scheduling, and Slack interfaces.          |
