🎓 Learning objectives

  • Implement a minimal conversational Agent class that tracks full message history
  • Design a ReAct system prompt using the Thought/PAUSE/Action/PAUSE/Observation/Answer protocol
  • Manually trace a multi-step ReAct reasoning loop to understand exactly how thought, action, and observation interleave
  • Build an automated agent_loop() controller that parses actions via regex and dispatches to tools without human intervention
  • Identify the brittleness of regex-based action parsing and know the production-grade alternatives
