At a glance

using Conductor.AI;

var agent = new Agent("greeter")
{
    Model        = "anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6",
    Instructions = "You are a friendly assistant. Keep responses brief.",
};

await using var runtime = new AgentRuntime();
var result = await runtime.RunAsync(agent, "Say hello!");
result.PrintResult();

You need a running Conductor server (default http://localhost:8080/api). See getting-started.md.

Core SDK

Workflows, workers, and the non-agent client surface are documented one level up in ../README.md.
