This repository focuses on the concept of an "agent" as a trained model, not just a framework or prompt chain. It emphasizes building a "harness" – the tools, knowledge, and interfaces that allow the model to function effectively in a specific domain. The core idea is that the model *is* the agent, and the engineer’s role is to create the environment it needs to succeed.
The content details a 12-session learning path, reverse-engineering the architecture of Claude Code to understand how to build robust and scalable agent harnesses. It highlights the importance of separating the agent (model) from the harness, and provides resources for extending this knowledge into practical applications.
Starlette 1.0 has been released, and Simon Willison explores its new features by leveraging Claude’s skill‑building capabilities. He demonstrates how Claude can clone the Starlette repository, generate a comprehensive skill document with code examples, and even create a fully functional task‑management app complete with database, API endpoints, and Jinja2 templates—all generated and tested by Claude itself. The article highlights the practical benefits of integrating an LLM as a coding agent, showcases the new lifespan mechanism, and reflects on the growing popularity of Starlette as the foundation of FastAPI.
Examples for common OpenSandbox use cases. Each subdirectory contains runnable code and documentation. Integrations and sandboxes are available for various tools and services like AI models, desktop environments, and web scraping.
Minimal Claude Code alternative. Single Python file, zero dependencies, ~250 lines.
This document provides guidelines for maintaining high-quality Python code, specifically for AI coding agents. It covers principles, tools, style, documentation, testing, and security best practices.
