THE AGENT PATTERN
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
User --> messages[] --> LLM --> response
|
|
|
|
|
stop_reason == "tool_use"?
|
|
/ \
|
|
yes no
|
|
| |
|
|
execute tools return text
|
|
append results
|
|
loop back -----------------> messages[]
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's the minimal loop. Every AI coding agent needs this loop.
|
|
Production agents add policy, permissions, and lifecycle layers.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**12 progressive sessions, from a simple loop to isolated autonomous execution.**
|
|
**Each session adds one mechanism. Each mechanism has one motto.**
|
|
|
|
> **s01** *"One loop & Bash is all you need"* — one tool + one loop = an agent
|
|
>
|
|
> **s02** *"Adding a tool means adding one handler"* — the loop stays the same; new tools register into the dispatch map
|
|
>
|
|
> **s03** *"An agent without a plan drifts"* — list the steps first, then execute; completion doubles
|
|
>
|
|
> **s04** *"Break big tasks down; each subtask gets a clean context"* — subagents use independent messages[], keeping the main conversation clean
|
|
>
|
|
> **s05** *"Load knowledge when you need it, not upfront"* — inject via tool_result, not the system prompt
|
|
>
|
|
> **s06** *"Context will fill up; you need a way to make room"* — three-layer compression strategy for infinite sessions
|
|
>
|
|
> **s07** *"Break big goals into small tasks, order them, persist to disk"* — a file-based task graph with dependencies, laying the foundation for multi-agent collaboration
|
|
>
|
|
> **s08** *"Run slow operations in the background; the agent keeps thinking"* — daemon threads run commands, inject notifications on completion
|
|
>
|
|
> **s09** *"When the task is too big for one, delegate to teammates"* — persistent teammates + async mailboxes
|
|
>
|
|
> **s10** *"Teammates need shared communication rules"* — one request-response pattern drives all negotiation
|
|
>
|
|
> **s11** *"Teammates scan the board and claim tasks themselves"* — no need for the lead to assign each one
|
|
>
|
|
> **s12** *"Each works in its own directory, no interference"* — tasks manage goals, worktrees manage directories, bound by ID
|

## The Core Pattern
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def agent_loop(messages):
|
|
while True:
|
|
response = client.messages.create(
|
|
model=MODEL, system=SYSTEM,
|
|
messages=messages, tools=TOOLS,
|
|
)
|
|
messages.append({"role": "assistant",
|
|
"content": response.content})
|
|
|
|
if response.stop_reason != "tool_use":
|
|
return
|
|
|
|
results = []
|
|
for block in response.content:
|
|
if block.type == "tool_use":
|
|
output = TOOL_HANDLERS[block.name](**block.input)
|
|
results.append({
|
|
"type": "tool_result",
|
|
"tool_use_id": block.id,
|
|
"content": output,
|
|
})
|
|
messages.append({"role": "user", "content": results})
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Every session layers one mechanism on top of this loop -- without changing the loop itself.
|
|
|
|
## Scope (Important)
|
|
|
|
This repository is a 0->1 learning project for building a nano Claude Code-like agent.
|
|
It intentionally simplifies or omits several production mechanisms:
|
|
|
|
- Full event/hook buses (for example PreToolUse, SessionStart/End, ConfigChange).
|
|
s12 includes only a minimal append-only lifecycle event stream for teaching.
|
|
- Rule-based permission governance and trust workflows
|
|
- Session lifecycle controls (resume/fork) and advanced worktree lifecycle controls
|
|
- Full MCP runtime details (transport/OAuth/resource subscribe/polling)
|
|
|
|
Treat the team JSONL mailbox protocol in this repo as a teaching implementation, not a claim about any specific production internals.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
git clone https://github.com/shareAI-lab/learn-claude-code

|
cd learn-claude-code
|
|
pip install -r requirements.txt
|
|
cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

python agents/s01_agent_loop.py # Start here
|
|
python agents/s12_worktree_task_isolation.py # Full progression endpoint
|
|
python agents/s_full.py # Capstone: all mechanisms combined

```
|
|
|
|
### Web Platform

## What's Next -- from understanding to shipping
|
|
|
|
After the 12 sessions you understand how an agent works inside out. Two ways to put that knowledge to work:
|
|
|
|
### Kode Agent CLI -- Open-Source Coding Agent CLI
|
|
|
|
> `npm i -g @shareai-lab/kode`
|
|
|
|
Skill & LSP support, Windows-ready, pluggable with GLM / MiniMax / DeepSeek and other open models. Install and go.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Kode Agent SDK -- Embed Agent Capabilities in Your App
|
|
|
|
The official Claude Code Agent SDK communicates with a full CLI process under the hood -- each concurrent user means a separate terminal process. Kode SDK is a standalone library with no per-user process overhead, embeddable in backends, browser extensions, embedded devices, or any runtime.

## Sister Repo: from *on-demand sessions* to *always-on assistant*
|
|
|
|
The agent this repo teaches is **use-and-discard** -- open a terminal, give it a task, close when done, next session starts blank. That is the Claude Code model.
|
|
|
|
[OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw) proved another possibility: on top of the same agent core, two mechanisms turn the agent from "poke it to make it move" into "it wakes up every 30 seconds to look for work":
|
|
|
|
- **Heartbeat** -- every 30s the system sends the agent a message to check if there is anything to do. Nothing? Go back to sleep. Something? Act immediately.
|
|
- **Cron** -- the agent can schedule its own future tasks, executed automatically when the time comes.
|
|
|
|
Add multi-channel IM routing (WhatsApp / Telegram / Slack / Discord, 13+ platforms), persistent context memory, and a Soul personality system, and the agent goes from a disposable tool to an always-on personal AI assistant.
|
|
|
|
**[claw0](https://github.com/shareAI-lab/claw0)** is our companion teaching repo that deconstructs these mechanisms from scratch:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
claw agent = agent core + heartbeat + cron + IM chat + memory + soul
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
learn-claude-code claw0
|
|
(agent runtime core: (proactive always-on assistant:
|
|
loop, tools, planning, heartbeat, cron, IM channels,
|
|
teams, worktree isolation) memory, soul personality)
|
|
```
