Build small custom agents such as one in a music player
The author writes lots of little agents, for instance inside their music player, noting they are trivial as code.
- What They Did
- The author says they write lots of small agents instead of another coding agent, one of them inside their music player. They argue a useful agent's core takes very little code, so these are trivial as code artifacts. The comment gives no mechanics beyond that.
- How It Went
- The source states no results or numbers. It only says these little agents are easy to build, in contrast to competitive coding agents, which it calls tricky.
- Worth Knowing
- Skip building a general coding agent, since Codex and Claude are big RL targets; small purpose-built agents are the easy part.
Try it yourself with custom-built or unnamed agent
Help me build a small agent inside [app I use, e.g. my music player or note app] that does one job: [e.g. suggest the next song based on my mood, or tag my library]. Keep it under [number] lines, use [language] and [LLM API], and explain how to run it. Finished means I can run it once on sample data and see the result.
