First: Clarify Language
Before writing any code, ask the user:
TypeScript or Python? (TypeScript is recommended for new projects — it has strong typing, good DX, and first-class Strands support. Python is fully supported too.)
Default to TypeScript if the user doesn't have a preference.
Process
- Clarify the agent's purpose — one sentence. If it needs "and", consider multiple agents.
- Clarify language preference (TS preferred, Python supported)
- Identify the tools the agent needs (keep to 3-5 for a PoC)
- Decide on memory needs: no memory, STM only, or STM+LTM
