Market and trust evidence

Edition not yet matched

No exact skills.sh identity match is available for this repository. Repository adoption and freshness remain visible above; install momentum is not inferred.

Trust analysis is a screening signal, not a security warranty. Read the ranking and trust methodology.

In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · high confidence

Going from a one line requirement to specs, designs and code otherwise means prompting each role in turn by hand.

Use it when

When you want an SOP driven team of product manager, architect and engineer agents to draft a software project.

Not the right pick when

The environment is tightly constrained to Python 3.9 up to but excluding 3.12, plus node and pnpm.

Capabilities

  • Expands a one line requirement into stories, analysis and APIs
  • Built in product manager, architect, project manager and engineer roles
  • CLI command that generates a repo in ./workspace
  • Usable as a library through generate_repo
  • Data Interpreter for writing and running analysis code

Requirements

  • Python 3.9 or later but less than 3.12
  • node and pnpm installed before actual use
  • An LLM api_key configured in ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml

Cost: Free and open source

Software Company as Multi-Agent System

  1. MetaGPT takes a one line requirement as input and outputs user stories / competitive analysis / requirements / data structures / APIs / documents, etc.
  2. Internally, MetaGPT includes product managers / architects / project managers / engineers. It provides the entire process of a software company along with carefully orchestrated SOPs.
  3. Code = SOP(Team) is the core philosophy. We materialize SOP and apply it to teams composed of LLMs.

A software company consists of LLM-based roles

Get Started

Installation

Ensure that Python 3.9 or later, but less than 3.12, is installed on your system. You can check this by using: python --version.

You can use conda like this: conda create -n metagpt python=3.9 && conda activate metagpt


pip install --upgrade metagpt
# or `pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT.git`
# or `git clone https://github.com/geekan/MetaGPT && cd MetaGPT && pip install --upgrade -e .`

Install node and pnpm before actual use.

For detailed installation guidance, please refer to cli_install

or docker_install

Configuration

You can init the config of MetaGPT by running the following command, or manually create ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml file:


# Check https://docs.deepwisdom.ai/main/en/guide/get_started/configuration.html for more details
metagpt --init-config  # it will create ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml, just modify it to your needs

You can configure ~/.metagpt/config2.yaml according to the example and doc:


llm:
  api_type: "openai"  # or azure / ollama / groq etc. Check LLMType for more options
  model: "gpt-4-turbo"  # or gpt-3.5-turbo
  base_url: "https://api.openai.com/v1"  # or forward url / other llm url
  api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"

Usage

After installation, you can use MetaGPT at CLI


metagpt "Create a 2048 game"  # this will create a repo in ./workspace

or use it as library


from metagpt.software_company import generate_repo
from metagpt.utils.project_repo import ProjectRepo

repo: ProjectRepo = generate_repo("Create a 2048 game")  # or ProjectRepo("<path>")
print(repo)  # it will print the repo structure with files

You can also use Data Interpreter to write code:


import asyncio
from metagpt.roles.di.data_interpreter import DataInterpreter

async def main():
    di = DataInterpreter()
    await di.run("Run data analysis on sklearn Iris dataset, include a plot")

asyncio.run(main())  # or await main() in a jupyter notebook setting
