This week inside Agentic Labs, the challenge was to build your own coding agent CLI from scratch, and members ran with it in every direction. One shipped a working agent to PyPI that runs on free models for $0. One used their tiny agent to spit out a full Tetris game. And one went his own way entirely and built production desktop tools to tame a real logistics headache at work. Some were polished and public, some were first wobbly steps into brand new territory.
built and shipped letscode, a coding agent that runs the full read, write, and edit loop in a single file, powered by any LLM through OpenRouter (including free models, so the whole thing can run for $0). He published it to PyPI so anyone can install it: https://pypi.org/project/letscode-cli/
built SKINNYCODER, a lean amber-terminal coding agent in TypeScript powered by Codex, built around explicit edits: it shows you a diff and waits for your approval before it writes a file or runs a command. He went out of his way to keep the startup footprint tiny and documented exactly why in the repo: https://github.com/brainit-consulting/skinnycoder
took the week in his own direction and built what he actually needed for work: a PDF editor (a mini Acrobat clone that creates and edits form fields) and an image-to-PDF merge tool, both Windows desktop apps built with Electron, Next.js, and PDF.js, to streamline a sponsorship project spanning six countries. Built so non-technical teammates can use them too.
built a tiny coding agent straight from the challenge, kept it dead simple, and then had it generate a full working Tetris game. Proof a small harness can punch way above its weight. It's up on GitHub: https://github.com/radukc/zoomylight
built Beauford, a terminal agent that reads files, lists folders, and suggests edits while always asking before it touches anything on disk. First time in this territory, and his own words say it best: "Beauford is alive, wobbly, and mine." That's exactly the spirit.
From a first wobbly agent to a tool shipped on PyPI, that's a serious week of building. This is what happens inside Agentic Labs: real builds, shipped, with a community in your corner.
