Learn the mechanics

Understand what an agent harness must own before choosing libraries.

Questions to answer

Which parts are model decisions? Which are deterministic runtime behavior? Who owns state and authority?

Start here

Read the architecture guide, then trace the vanilla adapter. Follow the build journey once messages, actions, and effects are distinct.

Prerequisites: a small task you can describe, its permitted effects, and basic Python for executable examples. Reading the guides needs no API key.

Evidence and coverage

General architecture, existing adapter source, and controlled framework findings are available. Research into optimization/training and interaction systems remains on the ecosystem backlog.

Follow the concept and build path for runnable lessons and the ecosystem map for wider coverage. Return to all journeys.
