# Create Your Own Agents

> Turn expert knowledge into agentic workflows. Capture how the best people work, then let Claude run it.

Record an expert. Augent turns what they say into structured knowledge. Curate it into instruction files. Your MCP client executes them. You now have an agentic workflow built from real expertise, running locally, with nothing leaving your machine.

## The five steps

**1. Capture.** An expert talks. You run `take_notes`. Augent transcribes, structures, and saves it to your vault with frontmatter, tags, and searchable segments. The expert writes nothing down.

**2. Structure.** Wikilinks connect related content automatically. `search_memory` makes every insight retrievable by topic or keyword. The graph builds itself.

**3. Curate.** Distill the best insights into instruction files: markdown with specific rules, frameworks, checklists, and decision criteria. This is where transcriptions become a process.

**4. Execute.** Your MCP client reads the instructions and follows them. Not guessing. Executing a documented process built from real expertise.

**5. Improve.** Feed it more expert content. Each `take_notes` call makes the workflow sharper. The knowledge compounds.

## What this replaces

This is what platforms like Manus promise, except:

* **Runs locally.** No data leaves your machine.
* **Knowledge is yours.** Plain markdown. Not locked in a platform.
* **Instructions from real experts.** Not generic training data.
* **Fully inspectable.** Edit, version, audit every instruction file.
* **One-command execution.** Save working pipelines as Claude Code slash commands.

| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Research**      | Ingests expert talks, writes weekly briefings, flags contradictions     |
| **Content**       | Learns your voice from past work, drafts in your style                  |
| **Scriptwriting** | Applies expert craft rules to dialogue, pacing, structure               |
| **Copywriting**   | Follows proven conversion frameworks for landing pages and ads          |
| **Operations**    | Runs recurring processes exactly how your best operator documented them |
