AgentLoop is a minimal, readable AI agent starter kit in TypeScript that demonstrates the core agent loop—streaming chat and tool use—in ~150 lines of code using Next.js and the Anthropic SDK. It provides a clean, learnable alternative to black-box frameworks or bloated SaaS templates, with a free MIT core and a paid Pro version for advanced patterns.
