🧠 DevAgent

Execution-Grounded Orchestration for Autonomous Local Coding.

🌐 Live Site • 📦 PyPI • 📜 Docs

DevAgent is a research-grade, local-first coding agent runtime designed to bridge the gap between LLM-generated logic and production-ready execution integrity.

🛡️ The Problem: The "LLM-Execution Gap"

Most autonomous coding agents fail because they operate in a vacuum. They generate code that looks correct but fails at runtime due to environment drift, dependency conflicts, or invalid execution assumptions.

DevAgent is Execution-Grounded Orchestration. It doesn't just guess code; it manages the entire lifecycle of a fix:

1. Discovery: Scans and maps the environment.
2. Isolation: Provisions a clean, sandboxed virtual environment.
3. Repair: Autonomously resolves missing dependencies.
4. Validation: Verifies patches against your actual test suite.

🏗️ High-Integrity Architecture

DevAgent v3.4.1 implements a multi-layer orchestration stack designed for reliability over hype.

Loading

🚀 Quick Start

1. Installation

Install the CLI via PyPI. Ensure Ollama is running locally.

pip install devagent-cli

2. Verify Infrastructure

Check your local environment, connectivity, and dependency health.

devagent doctor

3. Run Your First Task

Execute an autonomous fix on any repository.

devagent run --task "Implement input validation for the user login" --root ./my-project

✨ Advanced Features

🔍 Hierarchical Retrieval

Instead of dumping your entire codebase into a context window, DevAgent uses a multi-tier search:

• Global Map: Scans the file structure to identify relevant modules.
• Semantic Tier: FAISS-powered vector search for conceptual matching.
• Precision Tier: Ripgrep for exact symbol/error discovery.

🏖️ Environment Isolation & Repair

DevAgent is the first local agent to treat the environment as a first-class citizen. It detects requirements.txt or pyproject.toml, creates an isolated .tmp_envs/ runtime, and autonomously installs missing packages if it encounters a ModuleNotFoundError.

🩹 Surgical Patch Engine

Most agents ruin git history by rewriting entire files. DevAgent generates line-level unified diffs, applying only the necessary changes while preserving your code style, comments, and structure.

🔐 Safety-First Containment

We built DevAgent for engineers who care about their host systems.

• Dry-Run Mode: Visualize every change before it happens.
• Atomic Snapshots: A safety restore point is created before every execution.
• Instant Rollback: Revert any agent intervention with devagent rollback.
• Sandbox Isolation: Every run is contained in a separate workspace until validation passes 100%.

📊 Empirical Validation

We don't fake our success rates. DevAgent is evaluated against a public, messy benchmark suite.

Metric	Result	Infrastructure Status
Dependency Repair	95%	✅ Production Ready
Unit Bugfixes	80%	✅ Highly Reliable
Refactoring	20%	📈 Improving (Model Bounded)
Isolation Safety	100%	✅ Absolute Containment
