SWE-agent

Warning

Most of our current development effort is on mini-swe-agent, which has superseded SWE-agent. It matches the performance performance of SWE-agent, while being much simpler. See the FAQ for more details about the differences. Our general recommendation is to use mini-SWE-agent instead of SWE-agent going forward.

SWE-agent enables your language model of choice (e.g. GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet 4) to autonomously use tools to fix issues in real GitHub repositories, find cybersecurity vulnerabilities, or perform any custom task.

• ✅ State of the art on SWE-bench among open-source projects
• ✅ Free-flowing & generalizable: Leaves maximal agency to the LM
• ✅ Configurable & fully documented: Governed by a single yaml file
• ✅ Made for research: Simple & hackable by design

SWE-agent is built and maintained by researchers from Princeton University and Stanford University.

SWE-agent for offensive cybersecurity (EnIGMA)

SWE-agent: EnIGMA is a mode for solving offensive cybersecurity (capture the flag) challenges. EnIGMA achieves state-of-the-art results on multiple cybersecurity benchmarks (see leaderboard). Please use SWE-agent 0.7 while we update EnIGMA for 1.0.
