Here is how I built a simple coding agent

spek is a side project: a small LLM-powered coding agent that takes a plain-language description of a program and produces a working, tested Python package. You write a markdown file describing what you want, point spek at it, and a few minutes later there's an installable package on disk that builds and passes its own tests.

This post walks through one example end-to-end, then digs into the design questions I had to answer along the way and what I picked for each.
