Overview

Configurable open-source research agent for repository edits and tests; maintainers recommend mini-swe-agent for new users.

Configurable open-source research agent for repository edits and tests; maintainers recommend mini-swe-agent for new users.

Configurable research coding agent that uses repository files, shell commands, edits and tests to work on GitHub or local issues and save trajectories. YAML tools and execution environments make the workflow substantial, without proving a production success rate.

The MIT repository is active, but developer-managed model keys, configuration and a suitable execution environment are required. Its maintainers now direct new users to the separate mini-swe-agent successor.

MIT source provides useful research flexibility without a software licence fee; LLM calls, containers/cloud execution and engineering effort remain real costs. No benchmark advantage is inferred from this score.

GitHub/local repositories, configurable tools, SWE-ReX execution and LiteLLM-compatible model configuration are documented. These are configurable developer interfaces, not a hosted public REST automation service.

Autonomy level

86/100

Our subjective rating of how independently the product carries out its documented tasks, considering the human setup, input, approval and review it needs. This is not a measured success rate.

Reasoning: SWE-Agent works through repository files, shell commands, edits and tests to address supplied issues. Developers configure models, tools and the execution environment, then review the patch. Maintainers recommend mini-swe-agent for new users.
