What Picasso taught me about building AI Agents

The author compares learning to build AI agents to Picasso's Le Taureau, stripping away frameworks, orchestration engines and vector databases in favor of a simple folder containing an AGENTS.md, Markdown skills, context files and a minimal set of tools. Agents are invoked headless with `claude -p`, improved by reviewing session transcripts under ~/.claude/projects/<project>/<session>.jsonl, and validated with evals; subagents can be defined as Markdown files under .claude/agents/ for orchestration. The author uses this setup, with Codex and a Cloudflare MCP connection, to publish the website containing the article.
