AI agents

Give a coding agent a real, production-shaped database it can break — with no path to production.

A branch is a sealed copy with its own generated credentials. Hand the branch URL to Claude Code, Cursor, or your own agent: it gets real data to test migrations, backfills, and queries against, and the URL cannot reach production or leak a real credential.

Script-driven

DATABASE_URL="$(anybranch create agent-task --from prod --print-url)"
[ -n "$DATABASE_URL" ] || { echo 'branch failed' >&2; exit 1; }
export DATABASE_URL
# ... run the agent against $DATABASE_URL ...
anybranch rm agent-task

Agent-driven with a skill

The repo ships a skill file that teaches Claude Code or Cursor to always work on a branch. Install it and add one line to your CLAUDE.md:

mkdir -p .claude/skills/anybranch
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GitHoobar/anybranch/main/skills/anybranch/SKILL.md \
  -o .claude/skills/anybranch/SKILL.md

The skill’s rules: never connect to production; create a branch and use its URL; if --print-url is empty, stop; delete the branch when done. An agent following it can do database work safely with no supervision of the connection string.

Prepared pools for zero-wait claims

For fleets of agents, pre-warm a pool of ready snapshots so each agent claims a branch in well under a second instead of waiting for a clone. This is anybranch-specific and has no hosted equivalent.
