 "summary": "Read and run one model and tool loop with policy and budgets to understand agents end to end.",
 "who": "A developer new to agents who finds big frameworks too opaque to learn from.",
 "problem": "Large agent frameworks hide the core loop under layers of abstraction.",
 "outcome": "A working mental model of runtime, tools, policy and audit state.",
 "steps": [
  "Clone the repo and install it in a venv",
  "Run the demo with `python examples/web_demo.py`",
  "Read the runtime, tools and policy modules",
  "Change a budget in agent.toml and rerun to see the effect"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone MuzeAnisichael/minimal-local-agent, run `python examples/web_demo.py`, and explain the loop from host to runtime to tools to SQLite state. Verify your explanation against the source files you cite.",
