  "summary": "Minimal open-source software-engineering agent from the SWE-bench/SWE-agent team: about 100 lines of Python, bash as its only tool, a linear history, any model via LiteLLM.",
  "description": "Each action runs independently with `subprocess.run`, so swapping in `docker exec` or another sandbox is trivial. Runs locally or in Docker/Podman, Singularity/Apptainer, bubblewrap and more. The README reports >74% on SWE-bench Verified, and it is the scaffold behind the SWE-bench (bash only) leaderboard. From the team behind SWE-agent and SWE-bench. Installs from PyPI as `mini-swe-agent`.",
