Stop Chat-and-Hope and Start Building Better Apps with Agents
summary
Live demo builds a production‑grade fullstack app that monitors Hacker News front page, reads top‑comment threads for the top five stories, and emits a sentiment report; the agent is driven by an agents.md rules file plus a behaviors file, uses Strands and CloudHiker 4.5 with Amazon Bedrock, and enforces Spec-Driven Development (SDD) constraints like “must run npm run build” and “no any types.” MCP hooks run Playwright checks; initial runs reveal the agent first emits a simple HTTP wrapper not a platform-native agent, and the UI reports mixed to negative sentiment as expected.
