🤖 Agentists Quick Start

Welcome to the Agentists Quick Start repository - your opinionated guide to getting started with agentic engineering. 🚀

⚡ Quick Start

Launch a ready-to-use workspace in seconds using [DevPod](https://devpod.sh/):

**Motivation**

• Share your set up across CodeSpaces and/or your HomeLab This includes:
• Favored VS Code extensions
• Shared secrets (e.g. Claude API Key e.g. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) from an external provider such as Github Codespaces Secrets or 1password

**Install DevPod in a Code space**

• Clone this repo
• Create a codespace from it
• Install DevPod

  curl -L -o devpod "https://github.com/loft-sh/devpod/releases/latest/download/devpod-linux-amd64" && sudo install -c -m 0755 devpod /usr/local/bin && rm -f devpod

**Basic Development Environment:**
