Coding Agent

A baseline purple agent is a simple, general-purpose coding agent with minimal scaffolding and no specialized optimizations. It operates using a standard loop—reading the codebase, proposing edits, and attempting to pass tests—without advanced planning, memory, or tool-use strategies. It serves as a reference point for evaluation: competent enough to attempt real tasks, but limited in handling long-horizon, multi-file, or highly contextual problems.
