There are three ways to spawn a Murmur agent. Pick whichever fits where you are right now. For consistency, every example below asks the agent to do the same thing: create a hello.txt file that says “hi” and open a PR.

​
From the dashboard

  1. Go to cloud.murmur.dev.
  2. Click the + icon to create a new agent.
  3. Type your prompt under What should this agent do?:
    Create a file called hello.txt that says “hi” and open a PR.
  4. Pick your options along the bottom:
  5. Click Spawn.
The agent appears in your sidebar and starts working immediately.
Spawn agent from dashboard

​
From the CLI

murmur spawn my-first-task "Create a file called hello.txt that says 'hi' and open a PR" --out pr
See murmur spawn for every flag.

​
From your coding agent (via the Director)

The Director is an interactive Claude session for managing a fleet of agents. Launch it from any terminal: 
murmur director

Heads up: --dangerously-load-development-channels

Under the hood, murmur director launches Claude Code with --dangerously-load-development-channels server:murmur. This opts the session into Claude Code’s channel transport, which Murmur uses to stream real-time events (PR comments, CI results, agent lifecycle) into your conversation as <channel> tags.When Claude Code prompts you to confirm channels, say yes and opt in — the director needs channels turned on to send notifications back to your session.
Then, describe the work in plain English:
spawn a Murmur agent to create a file called hello.txt that says “hi” and open a PR

​
After you spawn

The agent appears in the left sidebar of your dashboard. Click into it to see the live transcript, the running VM, follow-up controls, and any PRs it produces. Check status from the CLI: 
murmur ls                  # list all running agents
murmur status <slug>       # details for a specific agent
From Claude Code:
what’s the status of my agents?
