If I had to learn AI agents in 7 days, I would not read a single paper.
I would build from these 10 GitHub repos.
1. awesome-llm-apps
The starting point. 100+ working agent apps you can clone and run on day one. 106K+ stars.
Repo → https://t.co/oXrD5A8K6a
2. AI-Agents-for-Beginners
Microsoft's free 12-lesson course. Real code, real exercises, no theory dump.
Repo → https://t.co/7dNsDw6bTj
3. CrewAI
Build your first multi-agent crew in under 3 hours. Used by 60% of the Fortune 500.
Repo → https://t.co/0xohE065sD
4. LangGraph
The orchestration layer every production AI system runs on in 2026. The skill on every senior AI engineer job description.
Repo → https://t.co/bzVBn9uecV
5. awesome-mcp-servers
MCP is the agent-tool standard in 2026. Plug your agent into 100+ tools without writing integrations.
Repo → https://t.co/ejVOgkRJDX
6. OpenHands
Study a real autonomous coding agent that ships pull requests on its own.
Repo → https://t.co/kqap76TDuB
7. Smolagents
Hugging Face's minimal agent framework. ~1000 lines. The cleanest way to understand how agents actually work.
Repo → https://t.co/HgK9yxMcUH
8. Pydantic AI
The type-safe agent framework production teams are migrating to. Best choice for shipping reliable agents at work.
Repo → https://t.co/ESZkxsTXIR
9. OpenAI Agents SDK
The official OpenAI framework for handoffs, tool calls, and conversation context.
Repo → https://t.co/zV3llhnbw7
10. Letta (formerly MemGPT)
Agents that remember. Long-term memory, self-editing prompts, persistent identity.
Repo → https://t.co/qx02lTEepP
Here's the wildest part:
You don't need a paper, a PhD, or a course. You need a laptop, 7 days, and these 10 repos.
The skill that pays $200K in 2026 is not understanding agents. It is shipping them.
Day 1 you clone. Day 7 you have a working agent. The rest is iteration.
Save this before you forget.
100% free. 100% open source.
昨晚让 claude code 分析 claude code sourcemap,把 cli 和 ui 部分的逻辑抽出来用 go 重构,引入 open-agent-sdk-go 做核心引擎。今早起来验收,发现 codeany 已经做出来了,功能很完整,跑了几个 case 试了下,效果很好,速度非常快。😄
太好用了,以后日常工作逐步从 cc 迁移到 codeany
