Use Cases & Benefits
- Implements a self-improving recursive language model agent for coding workflows and long-running autonomous tasks.
- Enables persistent, programmatic control with durable state and subagent orchestration for continuous improvement and long-term task management.
- Use for automating complex coding workflows that require persistent context and iterative refinement over multiple sessions.
- Use for managing long-running research evaluations with autonomous agents that maintain progress across terminal disconnects.
- Use for developing reusable, executable skills and subagents to modularize and scale software automation tasks.

Prime Agent: A Self-Improving RLM Agent
Prime Agent is an open-source coding and research agent for general and long-running work. It is designed around two core abstractions:
Prime Agent combines a persistent Python control environment with durable harness state, so useful working context and reusable operating patterns can outlive a single chat window.
Install the latest stable release on macOS or Linux:
The installer downloads a versioned release, verifies its SHA-256 checksum, installs the
prime-agentcommand, and can prepare the IPython runtime used by the agent.Start Prime Agent from the repository or directory you want it to work in:
On first launch, run
/loginto choose a subscription or API-key provider. Prime Agent works in the current directory and can run commands and modify files there. Use a disposable clone, clean worktree, or another checkpoint you can inspect and restore.Prime Agent is built for long-running work, especially for evaluations in research. These features are available in the TUI, and when run autonomously.
