Why You Should Ship Your Agentic Workflow as a Claude Code Plugin
I'm building an agentic workflow that takes a startup idea does market research, drafts a MVP, and generates a spec detailed enough to hand straight to a coding agent.
I started out with a full-fledged agentic framework (Strands SDK). That gives you a lot of flexibility and control over the agents, but it also comes with a lot of overhead. If the overhead was on the system only, it would have been fine, but it was on the user too.
My goal was to validate the idea from users, which ironically is the product I was building. In my test runs it worked great, but I didn't realise that the setup was a deal breaker for most people. This made me rethink my approach, and I decided to sacrifice the bells and whistles for something that can be tested with one prompt (if you already have Claude Code).
