[!TIP] TL;DR -- Only 1.6% of Claude Code's codebase is AI decision logic. The other 98.4% is deterministic infrastructure -- permission gates, context management, tool routing, and recovery logic. The agent loop is a simple while-loop; the real engineering complexity lives in the systems around it. This repo dissects that architecture and distills it into actionable design guidance for anyone building AI agent systems. --- Table of Contents From Our Paper - 🌟 Key Highlights - πŸ“– Reading Guide - πŸ—οΈ Architecture at a Glance - 🧭 Values and Design Principles - πŸ”„ The Agentic Query Loop - πŸ›‘οΈ Safety and Permissions - 🧩 Extensibility - 🧠 Context and Memory - πŸ‘₯ Subagent Delegation - πŸ’Ύ Session Persistence Beyond the Paper - πŸ›°οΈ New Signals in the Agent Design Space - πŸ› οΈ Build Your Own AI Agent: A Design Guide - βš–οΈ Cross-System Comparison: Claude Code vs OpenClaw vs Hermes-Agent - πŸ”Ž Find Resources by Design Question - 🌐 Community Projects & Research - πŸš€ Other Notable AI Agent Projects - 🀝 Contributing - πŸ”– Citation --- Key Highlights - 98.4% Infrastructure, 1.6% AI -- The agent loop is a simple while-loop; the real complexity is permission gates, context management, and recovery logic. - 5 Valu","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/VILA-Lab","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/VILA-Lab/Dive-into-Claude-Code/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
