Building AI agents with the Claude Agent SDK

If you've used Claude Code, you've seen what an AI agent can actually do—read files, run commands, edit code, figure out the steps to accomplish a task.

And you know it doesn't just help you write code, it takes ownership of problems and works through them the way a thoughtful engineer would.

The Claude Agent SDK is the same engine, yours to point at whatever problem you want, so you can easily build agents of your own.

The Claude Agent SDK is how you build that same thing into your own applications.

# Example of using SQLite VSS with OpenAI's text embedding API
# from Ruby.

# Note: Install/bundle the sqlite3, sqlite_vss, and ruby-openai gems first
# OPENAI_API_KEY must also be set in the environment
# Other embeddings can be used, but this is the easiest for a quick demo

Custom Badges in iTerm2

iTerm2 - the popular terminal emulator for OSX has added some really neat features. One of those, is badges. From the documentation: A badge is a large text label that appears in the top right of a terminal session to provide dynamic status, such as the current host name or git branch.

I had some trouble figuring out how to build a badge so I wanted to share a quick walk-through. Thanks to Chris Mar for teaching me.

Install shell integrations on iTerm.

Easy enough - it's an option on the dropdown menu
