An Introduction to Managed Agents
When a Claude workflow keeps coming back, you need to decide how it should run again and how much control it needs. This standalone lesson helps you choose between interactive Claude Code, a Claude Code Routine, and Claude Managed Agents.
Follow a documentation-audit example from a manually supervised task to a scheduled Routine, then explore a read-only Release Notes Auditor in Claude Console. See how an Agent, Environment, Session, and Events fit together, and how permissions, budgets, credentials, and success criteria support more autonomous work.
