Tau – Learn how coding agents are built

SMRTR summary

Tau is a small, open-source Python coding agent built specifically to be read like a textbook. It breaks agent architecture into clean, visible layers — model streaming, an agent loop, and a terminal UI — so developers can finally see how tool calls, transcripts, and sessions actually work under the hood. No hidden machinery, just readable code that runs as a real agent.
