swift-coding-agent Exploring the architecture of coding agents by rebuilding a Claude Code-style CLI from scratch in Swift. Learning Series A 9-part learning series covers the build on ivanmagda.dev. Start the series → Why This Exists Claude Code works better than most coding agents I've used, and I think the reason is restraint. I studied its tool surface and traced its loop to isolate which design choices do the work. My working theory: coding agents benefit more from a small set of excellent tools and a tight loop than from large orchestration layers. Claude Code ships few tools, and the ones it has are simple: a search tool, a file editor. They work well. The system trusts the model and skips the scaffolding most agents pile on. This project rebuilds those mechanics in Swift, one stage at a time, to find out how little architecture the job needs.

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
