Source code for the Build Your Own Coding Agent book
This project helps Python developers build their own AI coding assistant from scratch. It provides the full source code for "Nanocode," a terminal-based agent capable of reading, writing, and editing files, executing shell commands, and searching code. Developers input a coding task, and the agent outputs code changes and command line interactions.
Use this if you are a Python developer who wants to deeply understand and build a custom AI coding agent without relying on complex frameworks.
Not ideal if you're looking for an off-the-shelf AI coding assistant or a solution that doesn't require direct Python development.
