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 initto every commit message, was completed autonomously by GenericAgent. The author never opened a terminal once.
- 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.
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.

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.

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。
- 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。
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。

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。
