About

This step-by-step workshop empowers developers to build a robust AI-powered coding assistant from scratch. Leveraging the Anthropic Claude API, it guides users through incrementally adding core tool capabilities such as file reading, editing, directory listing, shell command execution, and code searching. By constructing six iterative agent versions, participants will gain a deep understanding of AI Agent event loop architecture, master tool integration and extension, ultimately creating an efficient local developer assistant without requiring extensive AI expertise.
