Build AI agents using the same architecture patterns as Claude Code. Skill + 6 examples + runnable Python code. No framework.

Build Your Own Agents

Build AI agents with the same architecture patterns used by Claude Code — without a framework and without reverse-engineering it yourself.

This repo gives you the production checklist, 6 worked examples, and a runnable Python agent you can clone and adapt to your domain in 30 minutes.

The Problem This Solves

When you ask an AI coding agent to "build me an agent," you get a script that calls an API once and prints the answer. That is not an agent. It is a wrapper.

Production agents like Claude Code use a fundamentally different architecture: a controller loop, tool contracts with schemas, runtime permission enforcement, session state with compaction, hook pipelines for safety, observability, and evaluation.

You should not have to study a production codebase to learn these patterns. This skill packages them so your coding agent produces production-grade designs automatically.

What Changes When You Install This Skill

Without this skill	With this skill installed
One-shot script	Loop-based controller that iterates until the task is done
No tool boundaries	Explicit tool contracts with schemas, permissions, and timeouts
No safety	Runtime permission enforcement (auto-allow / ask-first / deny) — the same tiered model used by Claude Code
No approval flow	Human-in-the-loop approval before high-risk actions
No memory	Structured session state with persistence and compaction
No logging	Structured JSON observability for every tool call and turn
No evaluation	Quality rubrics, safety metrics, and testing cadence
No failure handling	Classified failures with bounded retries and graceful degradation
"Ship it"	Rollout phases from prototype to production

Clone And Run In 5 Minutes

Requires Python 3.10+ and an Anthropic API key.
