Research-Driven Agents: When an agent reads before it codes

I love C and C++, but setting up projects can sometimes be a pain.Every time I wanted to start something new I&#x27;d spend the first hour writing CMakeLists.txt, figuring out find_package, copying boilerplate from my last project, and googling why my library isn&#x27;t linking. By the time the project was actually set up I&#x27;d lost all momentum.So, I built Craft - a lightweight build and workflow tool for C and C++. Instead of writing CMake, your project configuration goes in a simple craft.toml:<pre><code> [project]
 name = &quot;my_app&quot;
 version = &quot;0.1.0&quot;
 language = &quot;c&quot;
 c_standard = 99

 [build]
 type = &quot;executable&quot;
</code></pre>
Run craft build and Craft generates the CMakeLists.txt automatically and builds your project. Want to add dependencies? That&#x27;s just a simple command:<pre><code> craft add --git https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;raysan5&#x2F;raylib --links raylib
 craft add --path ..&#x2F;my_library
 craft add sfml
</code></pre>
Craft will clone the dependency, regenerate the CMake, and rebuild your project for you.Other Craft features: craft init - adopt an existing C&#x2F;C++ project into Craft or initialize an empty directory. 
craft template - save any project structure as a template to be initialized later. craft gen - generate header and source files with starter boilerplate code. craft upgrade - keeps itself up to date.CMakeLists.extra.cmake for anything that Craft does not yet handle.Cross platform - macOS, Linux, Windows.It is still early (I just got it to v1.0.0) but I am excited to be able to share it and keep improving it.Would love feedback. Please also feel free to make pull requests if you want to help with development!
