🌟 Overview

GenericAgent is a minimal, self-evolving autonomous agent framework. Its core is just ~3K lines of code. Through 9 atomic tools + a ~100-line Agent Loop, it grants any LLM system-level control over a local computer — covering browser, terminal, filesystem, keyboard/mouse input, screen vision, and mobile devices (ADB).

Its design philosophy: don't preload skills — evolve them.

Every time GenericAgent solves a new task, it automatically crystallizes the execution path into an skill for direct reuse later. The longer you use it, the more skills accumulate — forming a skill tree that belongs entirely to you, grown from 3K lines of seed code.

🤖 Self-Bootstrap Proof — Everything in this repository, from installing Git and running git init to every commit message, was completed autonomously by GenericAgent. The author never opened a terminal once.

📋 Core Features

• Self-Evolving: Automatically crystallizes each task into an skill. Capabilities grow with every use, forming your personal skill tree.
• Minimal Architecture: ~3K lines of core code. Agent Loop is ~100 lines. No complex dependencies, zero deployment overhead.
• Strong Execution: Injects into a real browser (preserving login sessions). 9 atomic tools take direct control of the system.
• High Compatibility: Supports Claude / Gemini / Kimi / MiniMax and other major models. Cross-platform.
• Token Efficient: <30K context window — a fraction of the 200K–1M other agents consume. Layered memory ensures the right knowledge is always in scope. Less noise, fewer hallucinations, higher success rate — at a fraction of the cost.

🧬 Self-Evolution Mechanism

This is what fundamentally distinguishes GenericAgent from every other agent framework.

[New Task] --> [Autonomous Exploration] (install deps, write scripts, debug & verify) -->
[Crystallize Execution Path into skill] --> [Write to Memory Layer] --> [Direct Recall on Next Similar Task]

What you say	What the agent does the first time	Every time after
"Read my WeChat messages"	Install deps → reverse DB → write read script → save skill	one-line invoke
"Monitor stocks and alert me"	Install mootdx → build selection flow → configure cron → save skill	one-line start
"Send this file via Gmail"	Configure OAuth → write send script → save skill	ready to use

After a few weeks, your agent instance will have a skill tree no one else in the world has — all grown from 3K lines of seed code.

🚀 Quick Start

Method 1: Standard Installation

# 1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/lsdefine/GenericAgent.git
cd GenericAgent

# 2. Install minimal dependencies
pip install requests streamlit pywebview

# 3. Configure API Key
cp mykey_template.py mykey.py
# Edit mykey.py and fill in your LLM API Key

# 4. Launch
python launch.pyw

Method 2: uv (for experienced Python users)

If you prefer a modern Python workflow, GenericAgent also provides a minimal pyproject.toml:

git clone https://github.com/lsdefine/GenericAgent.git
cd GenericAgent
uv pip install -e ".[ui]"        # Core + GUI dependencies
cp mykey_template.py mykey.py
python launch.pyw

GenericAgent is meant to grow its environment through the Agent itself, not by pre-installing every possible package.

🤖 Bot Interface (Optional)

Telegram Bot

# mykey.py
tg_bot_token = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN'
tg_allowed_users = [YOUR_USER_ID]

python frontends/tgapp.py

Alternative App Frontends

Besides the default Streamlit web UI, you can also try other frontend styles:

python frontends/qtapp.py                # Qt-based desktop app
streamlit run frontends/stapp2.py        # Alternative Streamlit UI

Common Chat Commands

The default Streamlit desktop UI started by python launch.pyw, plus the QQ / Telegram / Feishu / WeCom / DingTalk frontends, support these chat commands:

• /new - start a fresh conversation and clear the current context
• /continue - list recoverable conversation snapshots
• /continue N - restore the Nth recoverable conversation

🧠 How It Works

GenericAgent accomplishes complex tasks through Layered Memory × Minimal Toolset × Autonomous Execution Loop, continuously accumulating experience during execution.

1️⃣ Layered Memory System

Memory crystallizes throughout task execution, letting the agent build stable, efficient working patterns over time.

• L0 — Meta Rules: Core behavioral rules and system constraints of the agent
• L1 — Insight Index: Minimal memory index for fast routing and recall
• L2 — Global Facts: Stable knowledge accumulated over long-term operation
• L3 — Task Skills / SOPs: Reusable workflows for completing specific task types
• L4 — Session Archive: Archived task records distilled from finished sessions for long-horizon recall

2️⃣ Autonomous Execution Loop

Perceive environment state → Task reasoning → Execute tools → Write experience to memory → Loop

The entire core loop is just ~100 lines of code (agent_loop.py).

3️⃣ Minimal Toolset

GenericAgent provides only 9 atomic tools, forming the foundational capabilities for interacting with the outside world.

Tool	Function
code_run	Execute arbitrary code
file_read	Read files
file_write	Write files
file_patch	Patch / modify files
web_scan	Perceive web content
web_execute_js	Control browser behavior
ask_user	Human-in-the-loop confirmation

Additionally, 2 memory management tools (update_working_checkpoint, start_long_term_update) allow the agent to persist context and accumulate experience across sessions.

4️⃣ Capability Extension Mechanism

Capable of dynamically creating new tools.

Via code_run, GenericAgent can dynamically install Python packages, write new scripts, call external APIs, or control hardware at runtime — crystallizing temporary abilities into permanent tools.

🌟 项目简介

GenericAgent 是一个极简、可自我进化的自主 Agent 框架。核心仅 ~3K 行代码，通过 9 个原子工具 + ~100 行 Agent Loop，赋予任意 LLM 对本地计算机的系统级控制能力，覆盖浏览器、终端、文件系统、键鼠输入、屏幕视觉及移动设备。

它的设计哲学是：不预设技能，靠进化获得能力。

每解决一个新任务，GenericAgent 就将执行路径自动固化为 Skill，供后续直接调用。使用时间越长，沉淀的技能越多，形成一棵完全属于你、从 3K 行种子代码生长出来的专属技能树。

🤖 自举实证 — 本仓库的一切，从安装 Git、git init 到每一条 commit message，均由 GenericAgent 自主完成。作者全程未打开过一次终端。

📋 核心特性

• 自我进化: 每次任务自动沉淀 Skill，能力随使用持续增长，形成专属技能树
• 极简架构: ~3K 行核心代码，Agent Loop 约百行，无复杂依赖，部署零负担
• 强执行力: 注入真实浏览器（保留登录态），9 个原子工具直接接管系统
• 高兼容性: 支持 Claude / Gemini / Kimi / MiniMax 等主流模型，跨平台运行
• 极致省 Token: 上下文窗口不到 30K，是其他 Agent（200K–1M）的零头。分层记忆让关键信息始终在场——噪声更少，幻觉更低，成功率反而更高，而成本低一个数量级。

🧬 自我进化机制

这是 GenericAgent 区别于其他 Agent 框架的根本所在。

[遇到新任务]-->[自主摸索](安装依赖、编写脚本、调试验证)-->
[将执行路径固化为 Skill]-->[写入记忆层]-->[下次同类任务直接调用]

你说的一句话	Agent 第一次做了什么	之后每次
"监控股票并提醒我"	安装 mootdx → 构建选股流程 → 配置定时任务 → 保存 Skill	一句话启动
"用 Gmail 发这个文件"	配置 OAuth → 编写发送脚本 → 保存 Skill	直接可用

用几周后，你的 Agent 实例将拥有一套任何人都没有的专属技能树，全部从 3K 行种子代码中生长而来。

🧠 工作机制

GenericAgent 通过分层记忆 × 最小工具集 × 自主执行循环完成复杂任务，并在执行过程中持续积累经验。

1️⃣ 分层记忆系统

记忆在任务执行过程中持续沉淀，使 Agent 逐步形成稳定且高效的工作方式

• L0 — 元规则（Meta Rules）：Agent 的基础行为规则和系统约束
• L1 — 记忆索引（Insight Index）：极简索引层，用于快速路由与召回
• L2 — 全局事实（Global Facts）：在长期运行过程中积累的稳定知识
• L3 — 任务 Skills / SOPs：完成特定任务类型的可复用流程
• L4 — 会话归档（Session Archive）：从已完成任务中提炼出的归档记录，用于长程召回

2️⃣ 自主执行循环

感知环境状态 → 任务推理 → 调用工具执行 → 经验写入记忆 → 循环

整个核心循环仅 约百行代码（agent_loop.py）。

3️⃣ 最小工具集

GenericAgent 仅提供 9 个原子工具，构成与外部世界交互的基础能力

工具	功能
code_run	执行任意代码
file_read	读取文件
file_write	写入文件
file_patch	修改文件
web_scan	感知网页内容
web_execute_js	控制浏览器行为
ask_user	人机协作确认

此外，还有 2 个记忆管理工具（update_working_checkpoint、start_long_term_update），使 Agent 能够跨会话积累经验、维持持久上下文。

4️⃣ 能力扩展机制

具备动态创建新的工具能力

通过 code_run，GenericAgent 可在运行时动态安装 Python 包、编写新脚本、调用外部 API 或控制硬件，将临时能力固化为永久工具。
