I Built an AI Agent in Claude Cowork (Here's How You Can Too)

Pick any open-source AI agent from GitHub, clone it into Claude Cowork, and ship it with one prompt. Full build, errors, and a daily scheduled task.

There are hundreds of open-source AI agents on GitHub.

Most people scroll, save the repo, and never touch it again.

I'll show you the opposite, how to clone any AI agent into Claude Cowork.

How to clone it into Claude Cowork and how to let Claude build it for you.

You end up with something that actually runs.

What will we build?

I picked PromethAI from the awesome-ai-agents repo.

A nutrition assistant who decomposes goals into meals and generates recipes.

In the end, your agent will generate two things;

1- The image of your meal

2- The recipe

And we’ll add a Claude routine that reads your meal plan the night before and creates the recipe for you first thing in the morning.

Claude Cowork scheduled task for daily meal prep

A digital chef that lives on your machine, similar to fridge gourmet we implemented before, but more powerful.

If the Claude team ever connects Claude to a home robot that cooks your meal, we’ll be the first ones plugging this system into it.
