Open Source Projects

Three focused repositories: Python agent framework, TypeScript port, and a Git-aware CLI tool.

1. tinyAgent (Python, 59★)

Turn any Python function into an LLM-powered agent

Decorate a function with @tool, hand the agent a natural-language task, and it auto-routes the call chain. Out of the box it handles reasoning loops, error-retries, and type-checked I/O. [GitHub →]

Why it matters

  • • Zero-boilerplate introduction to agents for developers.
  • • Function-as-tool approach reduces complexity compared to larger frameworks.

Room to sharpen

  • • Swap the OpenRouter hard-default for an abstract provider interface.
  • • Surface the excellent test suite in the README to telegraph reliability.

2. TunaCode (Python CLI, 38★)

Git-aware CLI that creates temporary branches, interfaces with multiple LLMs, and outputs diffs or files directly from the terminal

Quick demo available in the repository. [GitHub →]

Why it matters

  • • Bridges the gap between "chat-in-browser" and real local workflows.
  • • Safety features include temporary branches and explicit commit steps to protect your main branch.

Room to sharpen

  • • Add shell-completion scripts to reduce flag fatigue.
  • • Consider an opt-in offline mode for air-gapped work.

3. tinyagent-ts (TypeScript, 6★)

TypeScript implementation of tinyAgent with zero runtime dependencies

Provides a ReAct-style loop, pluggable tool registry, and Jest-backed examples to get newcomers shipping in minutes. [GitHub →]

Why it matters

  • • Gives front-end and serverless builders a lightweight alternative.
  • • Straightforward directory structure doubles as teaching material.

Room to sharpen

  • • Publish typed entity schema to DefinitelyTyped.
  • • Bundle a Vite playground for in-browser experimentation.

Key Points

1. Focused approach: Each repository serves a single purpose: framework, CLI, or TypeScript port.

2. Practical defaults: OpenRouter integration and Git best practices built in.

3. Extensible design: Support for local models, enhanced developer experience, and shared test utilities can be added while maintaining simplicity.

Lightweight agent frameworks designed for practical use.
