Building an AI Agent in 100 Lines of Code | Yaniv Aknin
About this episode
Before you add context, understand the context that’s already there.
In this episode, Yaniv Aknin, founding engineer at Tessl, explains the built in instructions that precede every user prompt, and why acknowledging that hidden layer is critical.
On the docket:
• why tool design matters more than raw reasoning ability
• how Codex does more with fewer tools
• how subagents let Claude stay flexible under context pressure
• why generalist models may adapt better to unfamiliar tools
