How.. please don't say use langxxx library

I am looking for a language or library agnostic pattern like we have MVC etc. for web applications. Or Gang of Four patterns but for building agents.

The whole post is about not using frameworks; all you need is the LLM API. You could do it with plain HTTP without much trouble.

When I ask for Patterns, I am seeking help for recurring problems that I have encountered. Context management .. small llms ( ones with small context size) break and get confused and forget work they have done or the original goal.

I'm not going to link my blog again but I have a reply on this post where I link to my blog post where I talk about how I built mine. Most agents fit nicely into a finite state machine or a directed acyclic graph that responds to an event loop. I do use provider SDKs to interact with models but mostly because it saves me a lot of boilerplate. MCP clients and servers are also widely available as SDKs. The biggest thing to remember, imo, is to keep the relationship between prompts, resources, and tools in mind. They make up a sort of dynamic workflow engine.
