"It’s not that hard to build a fully functioning, code-editing agent.

It seems like it would be. When you look at an agent editing files, running commands, wriggling itself out of errors, retrying different strategies - it seems like there has to be a secret behind it.

There isn’t. It’s an LLM, a loop, and enough tokens. It’s what we’ve been saying on the podcast from the start. The rest, the stuff that makes Amp so addictive and impressive? Elbow grease.

But building a small and yet highly impressive agent doesn’t even require that. You can do it in less than 400 lines of code, most of which is boilerplate.

I’m going to show you how, right now. We’re going to write some code together and go from zero lines of code to “oh wow, this is… a game changer.”

I urge you to follow along. No, really. You might think you can just read this and that you don’t have to type out the code, but it’s less than 400 lines of code. I need you to feel how little code it is and I want you to see this with your own eyes in your own terminal in your own folders.

Here’s what we need:

- Go
- Anthropic API key that you set as an environment variable, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"

* particularly impressed w. Claude (3.7 Sonnet), DeepSeek
* most SoTA free (ChatGPT higher performing paywalled): still amazing!
* chain-of-thought reasoning / augmented responses (web retrieval: RAG) 👍
* very impressive!!
* Firefox users: try the AI Toolbox extension 👍
