Agent Guide: Agents

This directory covers building autonomous agents, not using agent products.

Scope

• Include agent patterns, tool use, planning, memory, orchestration, evaluation, and hardening.
• Use [paper], [provider-doc], or [tested].
• Put agent product reviews, IDE assistants, and frameworks as tools under extensions/ or tools/.

Entry Guidance

• Ground technique claims in papers or official provider docs.
• Explain what the pattern changes in the agent loop.
• Keep pages useful to builders: APIs, protocols, eval methodology, and failure modes matter more than anecdotes.
• Update agents/README.md when adding a page.
