Summary

Adds a Build your own AI Agent category: a table-of-contents entry (alphabetically between 3D Renderer and AI Model) and a section with five step-by-step, from-scratch tutorials covering the agent layer — the agent loop with tools, the Model Context Protocol, and token/cost accounting.

Why this category

The list covers the model itself (AI Model) and chat bots (Bot), but not the layer in between that so many people are building now: the loop that drives tool calls, the protocol agents use to discover tools, and the cost mechanics of running loops against an LLM. #1800 proposed the same category (its RAG entry has since been merged under AI Model), and #1697 gestures at it — this PR completes the idea with a formatted section, per-language sorting, and a TOC anchor that matches GitHub's generated heading id.

Entries

All five build the thing from an empty file with no frameworks, matching the contribution bar: Thorsten Ball's canonical agent-in-Go walkthrough, Kevin Yank's JavaScript equivalent, and three Node.js tutorials with a runnable checkpoint at every step and zero dependencies — a coding agent (loop, tools, workspace sandboxing, raw-HTTP model adapter), an MCP server + client over bare JSON-RPC on stdio, and token accounting (cost math, prompt-cache economics, streaming metrics).

Disclosure: the three Node.js tutorials are mine.
