About MicroAgent

MicroAgent is an open-source Python framework for building agents that can modify their own prompts or Python code during execution. It enables agents to self-edit their behavior without human intervention, adjusting their instructions or logic based on context or results.

Best for

Developers exploring autonomous agent behavior and dynamic self-improvement in Python

Use cases

  • Building agents that automatically refine their own prompts for better task performance
  • Creating agents that dynamically rewrite their code to adapt to new requirements
  • Experimenting with autonomous agent behavior and self-modification
