## 🌟 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

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

# 2. Install minimal dependencies
pip install 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
```

Full guide: [GETTING_STARTED.md](GETTING_STARTED.md)

---

## 🤖 Bot Interface (Optional)

### Telegram Bot

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

```bash
python frontends/tgapp.py
```

### Alternative App Frontends

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

```bash
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 `N`th recoverable conversation


## 📊 Comparison with Similar Tools

| Feature | GenericAgent | OpenClaw | Claude Code |
|------|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| **Codebase** | ~3K lines | ~530,000 lines | Open-sourced (large) |
| **Deployment** | `pip install` + API Key | Multi-service orchestration | CLI + subscription |
| **Browser Control** | Real browser (session preserved) | Sandbox / headless browser | Via MCP plugin |
| **OS Control** | Mouse/kbd, vision, ADB | Multi-agent delegation | File + terminal |
| **Self-Evolution** | Autonomous skill growth | Plugin ecosystem | Stateless between sessions |
| **Out of the Box** | A few core files + starter skills | Hundreds of modules | Rich CLI toolset |


## 🧠 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。

<!-- | *"帮我读取微信消息"* | 安装依赖 → 逆向数据库 → 写读取脚本 → 保存 Skill | **一句话调用** | -->

## 📊 与同类产品对比

| 特性 | GenericAgent | OpenClaw | Claude Code |
|------|:---:|:---:|:---:|
| **代码量** | ~3K 行 | ~530,000 行 | 已开源（体量大） |
| **部署方式** | `pip install` + API Key | 多服务编排 | CLI + 订阅 |
| **浏览器控制** | 注入真实浏览器（保留登录态） | 沙箱 / 无头浏览器 | 通过 MCP 插件 |
| **OS 控制** | 键鼠、视觉、ADB | 多 Agent 委派 | 文件 + 终端 |
| **自我进化** | 自主生长 Skill 和工具 | 插件生态 | 会话间无状态 |
| **出厂配置** | 几个核心文件 + 少量初始 Skills | 数百模块 | 丰富 CLI 工具集 |


## 🧠 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。
