Agent platform fundamentals

Start where you can build: install the Namzu agent kernel, register a model provider, make your first call, and declare a tool with an explicit authority. Then step down a layer to Yuva, the sovereign kernel Cogitave is building to enforce those declarations on hardware it controls - including an honest account of what Yuva cannot do yet.

Prerequisites

• Basic familiarity with the command line and TypeScript.
• Node.js 20 or later, if you want to run the exercise rather than read it.
• No prior agent, kernel, or Rust experience required.
