Connecting to the bigger picture

Manus is a tour of the whole guide: the loop (Chapter 2), structured events (Chapter 3), the context wall and external storage (Chapters 4 and 5), tools and sandboxing (Chapters 6 and 7), retrieval and the anti-hallucination contract (Chapter 10), and planning and multi-agent design (Chapter 11). Its two new contributions, CodeAct and the todo.md checklist, both feed the capstone: Chapter 17 offers a code-action mode and a planner as optional components. Chapter 15 takes the planning-and-retrieval theme into deep research agents specifically.
