This repository provides a hands-on workshop for building a coding agent in Go. It starts with a basic chatbot connected to Anthropic’s Claude API and progressively adds tool capabilities including file reading, directory listing, shell command execution, file editing, and code search. Each version builds on the previous one, teaching agent loop patterns and tool-call handling.
