Hephaestus
StaleDescription
Hephaestus is a forge for AI coding agents: it scaffolds, runs, and evaluates coding agents against real-world engineering tasks.
Key Features
- Semi-structured Agentic framework that dynamically discovers task structure
- No hard-coding — agents identify workflows during execution
- Self-adaptive to adjust processes when tasks change
- Python implementation, easy to integrate with existing Python stacks
- Lightweight, no complex state machine definition required
Use Cases
💡 Handle long tasks whose workflows cannot be fully defined upfront
💡 Deploy adaptive agents in dynamic environments
💡 Research the autonomous structuring ability of agents in open environments
💡 Use as a general agent framework for unknown tasks

Quick Start
# Install
pip install hephaestus-agent
# Create an agent that discovers its own workflow
from hephaestus import HephaestusAgent
agent = HephaestusAgent(llm="claude-sonnet-4")
# The agent auto-identifies task structure and executes
result = agent.run("Turn this research report into slides")
print(result.workflow) # See the workflow the agent discovered
