agent-sandbox-runtime 1.0.0

Production-grade self-correcting AI agent platform with sandboxed execution

🧠 Agent Sandbox Runtime

The Self-Correcting AI Agent with Swarm Intelligence

An open-source, production-grade AI agent platform that writes code, executes it safely, learns from failures, and self-corrects until it works.

🎯 Why This Exists

Most AI coding assistants generate code and hope it works. Agent Sandbox Runtime takes a fundamentally different approach:

You describe what you want → Agent writes code → Executes in Docker sandbox → 
If it fails → Analyzes the error → Rewrites with improvements → Repeats until success

This is Reflexion - the same self-improvement loop that makes humans good at coding. Combined with Swarm Intelligence (5 specialist AI agents reviewing each solution), you get code that actually works.

Real-world problems this solves:

• 🔄 "The AI gave me broken code" — Self-correction fixes bugs automatically
• 🔒 "I can't run untrusted code" — Docker isolation makes it safe
• 🐌 "AI suggestions are slow" — Groq inference at 743ms average
• 💸 "AI APIs are expensive" — Free tier models supported (Ollama, OpenRouter)

🏗️ System Architecture

The Reflexion Loop

This is the core innovation. Instead of generating code once, we generate → test → improve:
