Developed by ghuntley
This hands-on workshop, powered by the Anthropic Claude API, guides developers through building a powerful AI coding agent from scratch. Across six iterative versions, participants will progressively integrate core tool capabilities, including file I/O, directory browsing, command-line execution, code editing, and intelligent code search. You'll gain a deep understanding of AI Agent event loop architecture and tool integration, culminating in an efficient local developer assistant, accessible even without extensive AI expertise.
- Step-by-step AI Coding Agent Construction: From basic chat to integrating advanced developer tools
- Master Core Developer Tool Integration: Implement file I/O, directory management, shell execution, code editing, and search
- In-depth Understanding of AI Agent Architecture: Learn event loop mechanisms, tool registration, and extensibility for custom assistants
