Learn Claude Code
ActiveDescription
A nano claude code-like agent harness built from scratch, demonstrating how to build AI coding assistants from zero to one.
Key Features
- Agent Harness architecture teaching - Systematic coverage of Tools + Knowledge + Observation + Action + Permissions five-layer architecture
- Build Claude Code from scratch - Implement a complete AI coding assistant in Bash, covering file ops, shell execution, and context management
- Harness engineering methodology - Deep exploration of the core philosophy: agency comes from training, harness comes from engineering
- Tool implementation patterns - Teaching atomic, composable tool interface design (file I/O, shell, API calls, browser control)
- Context management techniques - Sub-agent isolation, context compaction, and task persistence to prevent context bloat
Use Cases
💡 Understand how AI coding assistants work internally, learning the full pipeline from model to engineering
💡 Build agent harnesses for your own domain by migrating design patterns beyond coding scenarios
💡 Learn tool interface design, context permission management, and trajectory data collection for model fine-tuning
💡 Train team members as AI agent engineers with a shared harness engineering mental model
