Why is there no serious resource on building an AI agent from scratch?

  • The post argues that most available guides for building AI agents are superficial, typically wrapping an LLM API with frameworks like LangChain rather than explaining the underlying internals.

Not wrap the OpenAI API and slap LangChain on it tutorials. I mean actually engineering the internals like the agent loop, tool calling, memory, planning, context management across large codebases, multi-agent coordination. The real stuff.

Every search returns the same surface level content. Use CrewAI. Use AutoGen, cool but what's actually happening under the hood and how do I build that myself from zero? Solid engineering background, not a beginner. Looking for serious GitHub repos, papers, anything that goes deeper than a YouTube thumbnail saying “Build an AI Agent in 10 minutes."

Does this resource exist or are we all just stacking abstractions on abstractions?
