HyperAgent is a generalist multi-agent system designed to tackle a wide spectrum of software engineering (SE) tasks across various programming languages. Unlike existing LLM-based software agents that typically specialize in specific tasks, HyperAgent mimics human developers' workflows to address diverse SE challenges. Comprising four specialized agents (Planner, Navigator, Code Editor, and Executor), it manages the full lifecycle of SE tasks from conception to verification.
HyperAgent demonstrates state-of-the-art performance in:
- GitHub issue resolution (SWE-Bench-Python): 31.4% on Resolved Rate on SWE-Bench Verified and 25% on SWE-Bench Lite.
- Repository-level code generation (RepoExec-Python): 53.3% on Pass@5.
- Fault localization and program repair (Defects4J-Java): 249 bugs fixed.
Notably, HyperAgent is designed to handle a codebase written in a wide range of programming languages. We currently support Python and Java and plan to expand to other languages on other tasks/benchmarks in the future. We believe we are the first software engineering agent designed to handle a variety of software engineering tasks across multiple programming languages.
- Generalizability: Easily adapts to various tasks with minimal configuration changes.
- Efficiency: Optimized agents manage processes of varying complexity using appropriate LLM capabilities.
- Scalability: Built to handle large-scale, real-world software engineering scenarios effectively.
- Multi-task Proficiency: Excels in GitHub issue resolution, code generation, fault localization, and program repair. existing development workflow with its Python API, allowing for flexible and powerful code interactions.
HyperAgent uses Zoekt for code search. Please install Zoekt before installing HyperAgent. Zoekt requires latest Go installation, please follow the instructions here to install Go.
go get github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt/
# Install Zoekt Index
go install github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt/cmd/zoekt-index
# Install Zoekt Web Server
go install github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt/cmd/zoekt-webserverWe also need to install universal-ctags for semantic code search. Please follow the instructions here. Remember to set the environment variable of CTAGS CTAGS_COMMAND=universal-ctags.
After installing Zoekt and universal-ctags, we can install HyperAgent by running the following commands, notes that it's a must to create a new conda environment before installing HyperAgent named hyperagent, since the Executor uses jupyter kernel named hyperagent to execute the code:
conda create -n hyperagent python=3.10
pip3 install -e .To test the hyperagent with general prompt, you can run the following command:
python3 main.py --repo "your/path/to/repo" --commit "commit_hash" --language "python" --clone_dir "data/repos" --prompt "I want to create an FastAPI app to handle GET request from OpenAI API"from hyperagent import HyperAgent
pilot = HyperAgent(repo, commit=commit, language=language, clone_dir="data/repos")with repo is the repository URL, commit is the commit hash, language is the programming language of the repository, and clone_dir is the directory to store the cloned repository. You also can configure the agents by setting the config parameter.
Hyperagent supports 2 modes: patch and predict. In the patch mode, the agent will generate a patch for the given task. In the predict mode, the agent will predict the next token for the given task (for example, repoQA or fault location).

}HyperAgent is a software generalist agent, therefore it can be used to solve various software engineering tasks. We provide a few examples of how to use HyperAgent to solve different tasks in the scripts folder. This is easily configured via an input template prompt for each task.
For example, in src/hyperagent/tasks/github_issue_resolution.py, we provide a script to resolve GitHub issues using HyperAgent. The script will prompt the user to input the issue title and description, and then HyperAgent will generate a patch to resolve the issue.
def run(self, system, idx) -> Result:
prompt = self.construct_prompt(idx)
system.query_codebase(prompt)
prediction_patch = extract_patch(system.repo_dir)
return prediction_patchIf you want to use HyperAgent to solve other tasks and systematically evaluate the results, you can create a new task class and implement the run method. The run method should return the result of the task.
To reproduce the results, please follow the instructions in the scripts folder. We provide the scripts to reproduce the results on SWE-Bench, RepoExec, and Defects4J datasets.
