The existing README was titled ai-agent, verbose with redundant prose, and lacked an architectural diagram or structured format useful to a developer onboarding quickly.

Changes

  • Retitled # ai-agent# coding_ai_agent to match the repo name
  • Replaced unstructured prose sections (Ownership, Overview, Project layout, Implementation notes, State table) with a scannable bullet-point structure:
    • Overview — 3-line problem/type/capability summary
    • Author / Ownership — architectural decisions, design ownership, experimentation rationale (temperature=0, MAX_ITERS, CHARACTER_LIMIT)
    • Core Idea — agent loop mechanics, prompt strategy, all 4 tools, working directory isolation, session-scoped state model
    • Architecture — Mermaid flowchart of the full agent loop (user → Gemini → tool dispatch → results → loop)
    • Setup / Usage / Testing — collapsed to CLI-ready one-liners
  • Reduced from 170 lines to 75 lines with no loss of technical content

Original prompt

You are a senior software engineer tasked with rewriting the README.md of this repository.

Your job is to produce a NEW version of the README for the project coding_ai_agent.

Before writing anything:

  1. Read the current README.md.
  2. Identify the core purpose of the project.
  3. Preserve the original author's ownership and intent.
  4. Extract only the essential technical facts.

Goal: produce a concise, developer-focused README that explains:

  • what the project is
  • why it exists
  • how it works internally
  • how to run and use it

Writing rules:

  • Prioritize concision over grammar.
  • Avoid marketing language.
  • Prefer bullet points instead of paragraphs.
  • Use technical terminology where appropriate.
  • Remove redundant explanations.
  • Assume the reader is a developer.

README structure must follow this format:

coding_ai_agent

Overview

Short 2–3 line description of the project.

Focus on:

  • problem it solves
  • type of agent
  • main capability

Author / Ownership

Explain that the project is designed and implemented by the repository owner.
Highlight:

  • architectural decisions
  • system design ownership
  • experimentation or research aspects if relevant

Core Idea

Bullet explanation of the architecture and reasoning behind the agent.

Example topics:

  • agent loop
  • prompt strategy
  • tool integration
  • memory/state handling
  • code execution or generation flow

Architecture

Use Mermaid diagrams.

System architecture example:
