    From the README

    A powerful, easy-to-use, customizable multi-agent runtime that orchestrates AI agents with specialized capabilities and tools, and the interactions between agents.

    cagent lets you create and run intelligent AI agents, where each agent has specialized knowledge, tools and capabilities.

    Think of it as allowing you to quickly build, share and run a team of virtual experts that collaborate to solve complex problems for you.

    And it's dead easy to use!

    ⚠️ Note: cagent is in active development, breaking changes are to be expected ⚠️

    Creating agents with cagent is straightforward. They are described in a short .yaml file, like this one:

    Run it in a terminal with cagent run basic_agent.yaml.

    Many more examples can be found here!
