VCN #44: The Loop

Join us for a hands-on build night where bringing a laptop is a must!

Every coding agent operates as a while-loop. Let’s build yours this morning!

What to Expect:

• 📚 The Shape: Learn the workflow of planning, acting, observing, and repeating. Discover the basics of the while-loop harness and the ReAct pattern.
• 🔧 Tool-Calling: Connect your model to real tools. You'll read files, execute commands, and see the output returned back into your context.
• 💡 The Hard Parts: Manage context, set stop conditions, and know when to loop again or quit. This knowledge differentiates a toy from a functional tool!
• 🛠️ Run It for Real: Utilize z.ai + Claude Code as the model driving your loop, empowered by Nebius Token Factory credits. You'll witness your own 100 lines of code operating an agent from start to finish.

By the end of the day, you’ll walk away with an understanding of a tiny coding-agent loop and demystify what these tools actually do. Plus, you’ll take the code home with you! 🏠

Important Details:

• Format: Bring a task you want your loop to tackle.
• When: Doors open at 10 AM, with the build sprint starting at 10:15 AM.
