That famous 5 minute install is what made WordPress the dominant web technology on the web.</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fl8hm8i99ho5g85gpzmbd.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fl8hm8i99ho5g85gpzmbd.png" alt=" " width="800" height="450"></a></p> <p>Agents like Claude and Codex have taken over not just app and web development in the last 6-12 months - they have also taken over site creation. Anyone can jump into Claude, give it some direction and in 5 minutes get back a pretty damn good set of 2-3 static pages they can throw up on the web with any web server.</p> <p>That is the agent's 5 minute install.</p> <p>But what happens when you want to add a signup form? or a calendar, or a small booking system. The agent can build you any bespoke system you want - but will it be secure? Will it be extendable? Will it even be maintainable by the agent in 6 months or will it be a re-write next year?</p> <p>What agentic development needs is the famous 5 minute install with an agent first CMS that has sandboxed plugins and a standard prescription for how to do the 90% of common tasks so that it will be maintainable and consistent over the next years.</p> <p>Right now everyone has their own bespoke system. Framer is out there and that's awesome - but doesn't help me if i want to create an online booking system or start selling a widget.</p> <p>We need an agent first 5 minute install for the new web development environment.</p> <p><a href="https://bitfire.co/en/forum/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://bitfire.co/en/forum/</a></p> agents ai llm webdev
