prime-agent

Prime Agent is an open-source coding and research agent designed for general-purpose and long-running tasks. It is built on two core abstractions: Recursive Language Models (RLM) and a Persistent Framework. RLM treats context as variables and handles tools and sub-agents as function calls; the Persistent Framework stores supplementary prompts, memory, skill descriptions, and reusable sub-agent specifications in persistent state. Prime Agent combines a persistent Python control environment with persistent framework state, enabling useful work contexts and reusable operational patterns to extend beyond individual chat windows. After installation and startup via command line, users can perform various programming tasks within a project directory using Prime Agent.
