Episode 4 — Your first agent
An agent built end to end on camera — name, instructions, knowledge scope, tools, model — then made visible and tested live, with the trust boundary spelled out.

Chat taught you to ask; knowledge taught you what answers stand on. This episode builds the thing that puts both to work: an agent, created from scratch on camera. The through-line is the trust boundary — every tool you grant widens what the agent can do, so the smallest agent that does the job is the safest one.
