Principles Agent extends your AI assistant with the ability to an iterative Agent based on first-principles thinking breaks down complex targets into atomic tasks, automatically verifies and debugs, and relies on perceptual execution to ensure final delivery quality. Rather than leaving your conversation to handle this manually, you can ask your Claude agent directly β and it will take care of the task end-to-end, using Principles Agent as its underlying capability.
Principles Agent works across Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) β an open standard that lets AI clients share tools and skills without lock-in. Because MCP is platform-agnostic by design, you install Principles Agent once and it becomes available across all your AI clients. Whether you're working in Claude for focused sessions or Cursor for integrated workflows, the skill behaves consistently.
Getting started with Principles Agent takes about two minutes.
