SWE-agent turns LMs (e.g. GPT-4) into software engineering agents that can resolve issues in real GitHub repositories and more.

On SWE-bench, SWE-agent resolves 12.47% of issues of the full test set and 23% of issues of SWE-bench lite. SWE-agent EnIGMA solves more than 3x more challenges of the offensive cybersecurity NYU CTF benchmark than the previous SOTA agent.

We accomplish our results by designing simple LM-centric commands and feedback formats to make it easier for the LM to browse the repository, view, edit and execute code files. We call this an Agent-Computer Interface (ACI). Read more about it in our paper!

SWE-agent is built and maintained by researchers from Princeton University.

Our most recent lecture touches on the project's motivation, showcases our research findings and provides a hands-on tutorial on how to install, use, and configure SWE-agent:

SWE-agent: EnIGMA (Enhanced Interactive Generative Model Agent) is a mode for solving offensive cybersecurity challenges. EnIGMA achieves SOTA on multiple cybersecurity benchmarks (see leaderboard). The EnIGMA project introduced multiple novelties that are available to all use cases of SWE-agent, such as Interactive Agent Tools and a Summarizer to handle long outputs.
