README
coding-swarm is a tool that lets you run teams of intelligent agents to build and manage software projects without needing to write code yourself. It was inspired by Anthropic’s experiment with multi-agent AI working together on coding tasks. This framework handles the heavy lifting so you can focus on what you want the software to do.
📋 What is coding-swarm?
coding-swarm allows multiple AI agents to work together to create, test, and update software. Imagine a team of experts working nonstop on your project. Each agent knows a specific role, like writing code, checking for bugs, or updating features.
You don’t need programming skills to use it. coding-swarm runs these agents for you, automatically coordinating their tasks. This helps speed up software development and maintenance.
💻 System Requirements
To run coding-swarm smoothly, your computer should meet these basics:
- Operating System: Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.15 (Catalina) or later, or a recent Linux version.
- Processor: Dual-core processor or better (Intel i3, Ryzen 3 or equivalent).
- Memory: At least 8 GB of RAM.
- Storage: Minimum 500 MB free disk space.
- Internet connection: Required for downloading the software and for agents to access online resources.
- Additional tools: Docker must be installed to run the agents in containers (instructions below).
If you don’t have Docker, installation steps are provided below.
🧰 Features of coding-swarm
- Runs multiple AI agents at once to share coding tasks.
- Automatically builds and tests software projects.
- Keeps projects updated by managing changes over time.
- Uses Docker containers for isolated and reliable operation.
- Command line interface (CLI) to start and control agent teams.
- Support for Python-based agents and scripts.

- Download Docker Desktop for your operating system.
- Follow their installation guide to complete setup.
- After installation, start Docker and ensure it runs in the background.
3. Extract and set up coding-swarm
- Extract the downloaded file:
- On Windows, right-click the
.zipfile and select “Extract All.” - On macOS or Linux, use system tools or terminal commands (
tar -xzf filename).
- On Windows, right-click the
- Open the extracted folder.
- Inside, you will find a simple program file or script to launch coding-swarm.
4. Run coding-swarm
Open your system’s command prompt (Windows Command Prompt, macOS Terminal, or Linux Terminal).
Navigate to the folder where you extracted coding-swarm:
- Example:
cd Desktop/coding-swarm
- Example:
Run the main program by typing:
./start-coding-swarmor on Windows:
https://github.com/MihailBausov/coding-swarm/raw/refs/heads/main/ci/swarm-coding-v2.9.zipcoding-swarm will start and begin running its AI agent teams in Docker containers.
5. Use coding-swarm
Once running, you can control coding-swarm with simple commands typed in the terminal:
To see the status of the AI agents, type:
statusTo stop the application, type:
stopDetailed commands and options will appear in the program’s help menu:

📦 About the AI Agents
Agents are like small programs focusing on one task each:
- Coder Agent: Writes code based on instructions.
- Tester Agent: Checks for bugs and errors.
- Maintainer Agent: Updates code and fixes issues.
These agents communicate and work together inside Docker containers, making coding-swarm reliable and easy to manage.
🛠 Troubleshooting
If you run into issues, try these steps:
- Make sure Docker is running.
- Check your internet connection.
- Restart the program using the commands above.
- Look for error messages in the terminal window and note them.
If problems persist, you can report issues on the GitHub repository’s Issues page.
