exploring what the minimal setup is for an agent to work well

smol code has RCE risk granting model unrestricted access to local environment.

that is by design

intentionally moving the security boundary to where it should be (the environment)

A fun golfing project, but:

> smol is so smol you can understand it in an afternoon

> smol is easy to adapt

I would argue that golfed code is not great for these. Asking a LLM to expand out the code and comment it results in very concise, easy to understand code - nice job on that front, it's very simple. The blurb just isn't readable as-is.

ty for the feedback!

i will also provide ungolfed versions
