Overmind

Overmind is two things in one package:

  • Tracing SDK — drop-in observability for LLM agents. Decorate your code, get structured traces of every LLM call and tool invocation.
  • Optimiser client — a thin, agent- and codebase-agnostic executioner. The optimisation loop (experiments → iterations → candidates → commands) is configured and driven server-side by the Overmind Console. This repo just registers your machine, leases queued commands, runs them against your repo, and reports results back.

Documentation: Overmind guide

Console: console.overmindlab.ai

Install

uv tool install overmind
# or
pipx install overmind

Tracing

Wire up tracing once at process start, then annotate the functions you want traced:

import overmind

overmind.init(service_name="my-agent", providers=["openai", "anthropic"])  # reads OVERMIND_API_KEY from the environment

@overmind.entry_point()
def run(input_data: dict) -> dict:
    return {"response": handle(input_data)}

@overmind.tool()
def search(query: str) -> list[dict]:
    ...

Available decorators/helpers: entry_point, workflow, tool, function, plus start_span (context manager), set_tag, set_user, and capture_exception for Sentry-style annotations on the current span.

Optimise

Set up and configure the experiment (agent, policy, dataset, iterations) in the Console. Then, from the root of the repo you want optimised:

export OVERMIND_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
overmind optimise

This registers the current machine with the backend and loops forever: it leases queued commands from the experiment you configured in the Console, checks out the iteration's git branch (applying its candidate diff as a commit), runs the shell command against your repo, and reports the result back. Stop it any time with Ctrl-C; re-running is safe and idempotent per iteration branch.

Options / environment variables

Flag Env var Default Description
--api-key OVERMIND_API_KEY (required) Sent as X-Api-Key.
--api-url OVERMIND_API_URL https://api.overmindlab.ai Backend base URL.
--cwd OVERMIND_CWD current directory Repo root to run commands in.
--poll-interval OPTIMIZER_POLL_INTERVAL 5 Idle poll seconds.
--heartbeat-interval OPTIMIZER_HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL 60 Idle "still alive" log interval, seconds.
--log-level OPTIMIZER_LOG_LEVEL INFO DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR.

[!WARNING] The Console can hand this client arbitrary shell to run (shell=True, guarded only by a per-command timeout). Only point it at a backend you trust.
