How to use Runtime to build a team AI programming Agent collaboration environment: a 30-minute complete tutorial

Tutorial Objectives

In 30-45 minutes, use Runtime to set up a team-level AI coding Agent collaboration environment. Your product, design, and operations colleagues can directly talk to agents such as Claude Code and Codex to complete tasks, instead of having to be accompanied by engineers every time.

What will you build?

• Sandboxed Agent Environment: Each team has an independent coding Agent, with its own project context and tool chain, ready to use at boot.
• Slack/Linar integration: Directly summon Agents to complete tasks in the team's daily collaboration channels
• Safety Guardrails: Cost limit, command whitelist, network export control, Agent will not touch the production environment

Preparation list

• GitHub account (Runtime uses GitHub OAuth to log in)
• Slack workspace (optional, recommended) - facilitates scheduling Agents directly in messages
• Your own AI API Key (Claude Code / OpenAI / Gemini are all acceptable)

Overall architecture

Runtime provides an "Agent infrastructure layer": you configure the project environment once and take a snapshot, and then when anyone triggers the Agent, it will run in an environment where everything has been configured.

Step 1: Register and create your first sandbox

Open app.runtm.com and log in with your GitHub account. The runtime reads the list of repositories you own through GitHub OAuth.

# CLI
brew install runtmdotcom/tap/runtm
runtm login
