Kauan, a 16-year-old developer from Brazil building Tiny Agents for Hack Club's Terra program, released a Python framework that makes AI agent harnesses easy to build. Already implemented: multi-provider model support, context-window management with compaction, async workers, a customizable terminal UI with custom commands, and tool execution. His demo assistant — with model selection, configurable tools, and an interactive TUI — is just 103 lines of Python. He's soliciting feedback on what's most tedious in harness building and whether devs prefer minimal vs batteries-included frameworks.
