AI Agents for Beginners

After 6 months of building STTiClaw — a 9-agent AI system — here is what I learned about making agents cooperate.

The Architecture

STTiClaw uses 9 specialized agents: Aria (research), Bolt (coding), Sentinel (security), Scribe (writing), Oracle (analysis), Navigator (planning), Bridge (communication), Forge (automation), and Echo (learning).AI agents are programs that think, plan, and act autonomously. This guide covers building your own with 9 specialized agents. VriTTa brings 699+ skills to your terminal with zero cloud costs.

Key Lessons

1. Agent routing matters more than agent capability
2. File accumulation across engines
3. Bonsai state compression — 3-5x faster than JSON
4. Sparse skill indexing — inverted index over 699 skills
