SWE-agent
SWE-agent is an autonomous software engineering agent designed to help language models of choice fix issues in real GitHub repositories, perform offensive cybersecurity tasks, or solve competitive coding challenges. Developed by researchers from Princeton and Stanford Universities, it achieves state-of-the-art results on the SWE-bench evaluation among open-source projects. The system grants maximum agency to the language model, allowing it to freely use tools and interact with a codebase to diagnose and resolve problems. It is highly configurable through a single YAML file, fully documented, and built with a hackable architecture specifically for research purposes. While SWE-agent remains a capable tool, the developers recommend Mini-SWE-agent for most use cases due to its simplicity and matching performance. For cybersecurity applications, SWE-agent offers an EnIGMA mode optimized for capture-the-flag challenges, which has demonstrated superior results on relevant benchmarks. The software supports integratio
