Dev open-sources AgentSnow, a minimal coding agent built to demystify Claude Code
damnGruz · x · 2026-11-04
To understand how coding agents like Claude Code actually work, developer @101xanshu built one from scratch and released it as AgentSnow under the MIT license.
The project implements the core building blocks of a coding agent: the agent loop, parallel reads with sequential writes, path safety checks, approval prompts for destructive commands, and an eval harness — a readable reference for anyone wanting to see how agent loops work under the hood.
