Every “magical” agent tool you’ve used runs on the same pattern under the hood:
Think. Act. Observe. Repeat.
Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Aider — they all run on a deceptively simple loop. The model reads its context, picks a tool, calls it, reads the result, and decides whether to keep going or stop.
What changes between tools is the surface:
– Which tools they expose
– How they manage the context window
– When they decide to stop
The loop itself is identical.
Once you see it, you stop being intimidated by new agent tools. You just ask: “What tools does it have? How does it decide when it’s done?”
Stop treating agents as magic. They’re loops with tools. Understanding the loop makes every new agent tool learnable in minutes.
**Which agent tool surprised you most when you saw the loop for the first time?**
