# Base Thread Demo ## Concept The **Base Thread** is the fundamental unit of agentic engineering: - **YOU** show up at the **beginning** (prompt/plan) - **AGENT** does the **middle** (tool calls) - **YOU** show up at the **end** (review/validate) ## Key Insight Pre-2023, **you** were the tool calls - reading docs, editing files, running commands.

The Base Thread is the fundamental unit of agentic engineering:
┌─────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ ┌─────────┐
│ YOU │ ──▶ │ AGENT (tools) │ ──▶ │ YOU │
│ Prompt │ │ Tool calls... │ │ Review │
└─────────┘ └─────────────────┘ └─────────┘
Pre-2023, you were the tool calls - reading docs, editing files, running commands. Now the agent handles the middle. You show up at the endpoints.
The fundamental metric is tool calls. More useful tool calls = more value created.
A base thread might involve:
# Simple base thread
claude -p "Explain what this codebase does" --max-turns 5
# Base thread with output
claude -p "Find all TODO comments" --output-format json
I'll now demonstrate a Base Thread by analyzing the target you specify.
Target: $ARGUMENTS
If no target specified, I'll analyze the current directory structure.

Let me explore and summarize what I find. After this completes, you review my work - that's the Base Thread pattern in action.
