Hello, I'm Maneshwar. I'm building git-lrc, a Micro AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. It is free and source-available on Github. Star git-lrc to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback.

"Agent" got popular faster than it got defined.

Everyone is shipping one, almost nobody agrees on what the word means, and half the things called agents are really just a chatbot with extra steps.

This is part 1 of a short series where we build up a working mental model for agents, based on the patterns OpenAI published in their Practical Guide to Building Agents.

By the end of these three posts you should be able to design one without copying a tutorial line by line.
