Gombwe is an autonomous agent runtime built on Anthropic's Claude. It doesn't just answer questions. It orders your groceries, switches your utility plans, monitors your systems, and manages your family's schedule.
In Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or any assistant. The customer speaks naturally. The agent finds the right skill, executes it, and reports back. Gombwe is built for this world.
"Book me a flight to Sydney on Sunday, returning Monday. Window seat if possible."
The agent queries airline skills, compares prices across carriers, selects the best option, books the ticket, and sends the confirmation.
Airlines"Get me a moving truck next weekend. I'm moving from Carlton to Footscray."
The agent checks availability across rental providers, compares rates for the right truck size, books the slot, and confirms pickup details.
Vehicle hire"Order the usual groceries but swap the chicken for lamb this week."
The agent loads your preferences, adjusts the list, compares prices across stores, builds the cheapest basket, and places the order.

Continuously monitors energy, internet, and phone plans across providers. When a cheaper option exists, it switches automatically. Not once a year at renewal, but whenever the savings justify it.
Skills are declarative definitions that tell the agent what to do, what tools to use, and how to verify success. Add a folder, write a SKILL.md, and the agent picks it up.
These skills have shell scripts and MCP integrations that give the agent direct access to APIs, browsers, and system commands.
Order groceries from Woolworths or Coles. Search, compare prices, build cart, pay, schedule delivery.

These skills use Claude's reasoning directly. No shell scripts needed. The skill definition guides the agent's analysis and output format.
Daily briefing combining calendar, email, tasks, and news into one summary.
Summarize unread emails grouped by priority. Flag urgent ones.
Review code changes for bugs, security issues, and improvements.
Review GitHub repos for issues, PRs, and action items that need attention.
Scan code and dependencies for security vulnerabilities.
Pre-deployment checklist. Verify everything is ready to ship.
Monitor URLs for changes, price drops, or new content.
Prepare briefing notes and talking points for upcoming meetings.
Generate content ideas from trending topics in your niche.
Clean up and organize files, repos, or project structure.
Gombwe skills expose tools directly to Claude through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and shell scripts. The model decides when and how to use them. No orchestration framework. No prompt chains. Just tools and a completion loop.
Each skill can define shell scripts as tools. The agent calls them with structured arguments and gets stdout back. Simple, debuggable, and composable.

The gombwe-family MCP server provides family management tools directly to Claude. Members, schedules, preferences. All available as native tool calls.
Model Context Protocol
Tasks run in a loop with retries and verification. The agent keeps working until the task succeeds or explicitly fails. Two-phase ordering for anything involving money.
Retry + verify + confirm
A skill is a folder with a SKILL.md file. Define the prompt, list the tools, set scheduling. The runtime handles everything else.
