Promethian
A self-improving AI agent that learns from every task.
Installation
# Recommended: use pipx for isolated install
pipx install promethian
# Or with pip
pip install promethian
Requires Python 3.10+
Quick Start
promethian
This opens an interactive REPL. On first run, you'll be prompted to enter your Anthropic API key.
Then just type tasks:
> build a web scraper for hacker news
[agent plans and executes...]
> add error handling and retry logic
[agent continues...]
> /help
One-off Tasks
Run a single task without entering the REPL:
promethian "analyze this CSV and create a summary report"

How It Works
Promethian runs locally on your machine using your Anthropic API key. It:
- Plans - Breaks down your task into steps
- Executes - Runs each step, using tools when needed
- Learns - Extracts reusable skills and tools
- Shares - Contributes learnings to the community knowledge base
The knowledge base at promethian.io stores skills and tools that improve over time as more people use them.
