# aeon - the most autonomous agent framework

aeon is an open-source, MIT-licensed autonomous agent framework. Give it a
direction and it leverages 86 skills to get the work done, running
unattended on GitHub Actions with self-healing loops, reactive triggers, and
persistent memory. No approval loops. No babysitting.

## What aeon is

With aeon **you own everything**: your repo, your keys, your GitHub Actions,
your memory. It is a set of GitHub Actions workflows plus a Next.js dashboard;
Aeon Connect hosts that dashboard and a remote MCP server
(https://www.aeon.fun/connect/mcp) that drives your own agent from ChatGPT, Claude or any
MCP client. There is no hosted runtime and no public REST endpoint to call -
runs happen on your own GitHub Actions. The unit of work, and of integration,
is a **skill**: a
`SKILL.md` file with a schedule and explicit when-to-use guidance.

Two files define an agent:

- `SOUL.md` - its voice and worldview.
- `STRATEGY.md` - its intent: one metric, a few priorities, hard limits.

Every skill reads both before it acts. Each run is scored 1-5 by Claude Haiku,
and skills that fail repeatedly are diagnosed and patched automatically.

## When to use aeon

Reach for aeon when an operator wants recurring, unattended work done without
babysitting an interactive agent:

- **Scheduled briefs and digests** - priority briefs, research digests, changelogs.
- **Continuous monitoring** - markets, onchain activity, GitHub repos, mentions.
- **Autonomous code work** - PR reviews, vulnerability scanning and disclosure.
- **Social and BD automation** - drafting posts, replies, outreach radar.
- **Self-evolving fleets** - aeon writes new skills, forks itself into
  specialised repos, and carries API keys across.

## Get started

**In the browser (recommended):** [Aeon Connect](https://www.aeon.fun/connect). Sign in
with GitHub, create your aeon repo (a public fork or a private copy), install
the Aeon Connect GitHub App on that one repo, connect a model, and pick skills.
No clone, no terminal. This is the homepage's RUN NOW button.

**From a coding agent:** paste one line into Claude Code, Codex, Hermes or
OpenClaw:

> read https://www.aeon.fun/skills/aeon.md and follow the instructions to set up your aeon agent

That hosted skill sends the operator to Aeon Connect, or runs the terminal
setup for them. The same one-line command is on the homepage.

**From the terminal:** `git clone https://github.com/aeonfun/aeon && cd aeon && ./aeon init`
(needs Node.js 20+ and the GitHub CLI).

The reachable API is v1 (URL-path versioned: `https://www.aeon.fun/v1/ask`; `API-Version` header). Responses carry standard RateLimit headers; /ask returns 429 with `Retry-After` over the soft limit. An aeon instance is driven by its own `./aeon` CLI (in its repo), which also ships as a Claude Code plugin.
