[djdarcy]

Objective

Create the foundational base class/interface that all TodoAI agents must implement.

Requirements

Core Interface

class TodoAIAgent:
    def __init__(self, config: AgentConfig):
        pass
    
    def get_capabilities(self) -> List[Capability]:
        """Declare what types of tasks this agent can handle"""
        pass
    
    def can_handle(self, task: Task) -> bool:
        """Check if this agent can handle a specific task"""
        pass
    
    def execute(self, task: Task, context: ExecutionContext) -> TaskResult:
        """Execute the task and return results"""
        pass
