track 03
·architectevent concluded, apr 18, 2026.
built on the layer that's eating software. agents, mcp servers, tool chains. shipped something claude code can't do yet.
the brief
the agent layer is eating software. the people who understand its plumbing, the tool chains, the protocols, the orchestration graphs, will shape what comes next. this track was for the ones who wanted to be inside the engine, not next to it. builders shipped end-to-end agents, wired up multi-agent workflows, and extended open-source coding agents with things they could not do yet. the constraint was simple. build something that would not exist by tomorrow if you did not build it today.
the tools
claude code, reverse-engineered into rust. 4.9k stars. direct mentorship from its creator.
learn morewhat they built
an mcp server that gave claude code a new capability, browser, shell, anything.
a multi-agent workflow where specialist agents collaborated on a spec.
an open-source extension to claurst or claude code that shipped as a public pr by day's end.
an agentic dev tool that watched your repo and proactively refactored.
the prize
the claurst mentorship is not a panel, not a fireside. one builder, one hour, deep on the internals of the tool that's pulling 4.9k stars and rewriting the coding agent.
the winner
track 03 winner, tba.
