v0_bash_agent.py - Mini Claude Code: Bash is All You Need (~50 lines)

Core Philosophy: "Bash is All You Need"
======================================
This is the ULTIMATE simplification of a coding agent. After building v1-v3,
we ask: what is the ESSENCE of an agent?

The answer: ONE tool (bash) + ONE loop = FULL agent capability.

Usage:
    # Interactive mode
    python v0_bash_agent.py

    # Subagent mode (called by parent agent or directly)
    python v0_bash_agent.py "explore src/ and summarize"

# System prompt teaches the model HOW to use bash effectively
# Notice the subagent guidance - this is how we get hierarchical task decomposition
SYSTEM = f"""You are a CLI agent at {os.getcwd()}. Solve problems using bash commands.

Rules:
- Prefer tools over prose. Act first, explain briefly after.
- Read files: cat, grep, find, rg, ls, head, tail
- Write files: echo '...' > file, sed -i, or cat << 'EOF' > file
- Subagent: For complex subtasks, spawn a subagent to keep context clean:
  python v0_bash_agent.py "explore src/ and summarize the architecture"

When to use subagent:
- Task requires reading many files (isolate the exploration)
- Task is independent and self-contained
- You want to avoid polluting current conversation with intermediate details

The subagent runs in isolation and returns only its final summary."""
