Newbie here: how much of creating agents are portable from one AI platform to another? Do they mostly have the same concepts but differ slightly in implementation? Or something else?

Most agent frameworks implement a ReAct (Reflect->Act) pattern in the form of a loop that "reasons" until a "final_answer" has been found. Most framworks also implement some form of session cache (scratchpad), tool use, and thought logging/tracing.
While most implementations are similar they are not easily transferable.
MCP is portable but isn't very useful for creating agent workflows.
The concepts are pretty similar but this course is definitely pretty Mastra specific.
If you are looking for a more general overview on agent development, my co-founder wrote a short book (available free at https://mastra.ai/book)
