Simple coding agent.

Source Agent

A simple coding agent.

How it Works

Source Agent operates as a stateless entity, guided by clear directives and external context. Its behavior is primarily defined by AGENTS.md, which serves as the core system prompt.

---

Prerequisites

• Python 3.10 or higher
• An API key from one of the supported AI providers (see Supported Providers)
• Git (for .gitignore support)

---

Installation

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/christopherwoodall/source-agent
cd source-agent

# Create virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate

# Install in development mode
pip install -e ".[developer]"

# Verify the installation
source-agent --help

Basic Usage

# Analyze the current codebase
source-agent --prompt "Analyze this codebase and identify potential improvements"

# Analyze with specific focus
source-agent --prompt "Review the authentication system for security issues"

Advanced Usage

# Use OpenAI with GPT-4
source-agent \
  --provider openai \
  --model gpt-4o \
  --temperature 0.1 \
  --prompt "Create unit tests for the utils.py file"

# Use Claude for code review
source-agent \
  --provider anthropic \
  --model claude-3-5-sonnet \
  --prompt "Review the error handling in this codebase"

Interactive Mode

source-agent --interactive

Available Tools

Source Agent provides these built-in tools for code analysis:

• file_list_tool - List files/directories in a given path (respects .gitignore)
• file_read_tool - Read contents of any file
• file_write_tool - Write content to a file (creates/overwrites)
• file_delete_tool - Safely delete a file
• file_search_tool - Search files by name pattern and optionally search within files using text/regex
• directory_create_tool - Create directories (with optional parent creation)
• directory_delete_tool - Safely delete directories (recursive option available)
• calculate_expression - Evaluate mathematical expressions (supports sqrt, pi, etc.)
• web_search_tool - Search the web using DuckDuckGo (returns snippets and optional page content)
• task_mark_complete - REQUIRED tool to signal task completion and exit the agent loop

These tools are automatically available to the AI agent during analysis.

Core Architecture

• Entry Point: src/source_agent/entrypoint.py - CLI interface with argument parsing
• Agent Engine: src/source_agent/agents/code.py - OpenAI-compatible client with tool integration
• System Prompt: AGENTS.md - Defines agent behavior, roles, and constraints
