# SWE Agent - AI Coding Assistant

An AI Coding Agents that helps you write, analyze, and improve code in any programming language

## Why Use SWE Agent?

**Save time writing code** - Tell it what you want to build, and it writes the code for you. No more staring at blank files or wrestling with syntax.

**Fix bugs faster** - It reads your code, finds problems, and suggests fixes. Like having an experienced developer review your work instantly.

**Learn while you code** - Watch how it solves problems step by step. You'll pick up new techniques and best practices naturally.

**Work in any language** - Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust, C++ - it understands them all. Switch between projects without missing a beat.

**Stay secure** - Automatically scans your code for security issues before you deploy. Catch vulnerabilities early.

## Installation

```bash
pip install swe-ai-agent
```

## Getting Started

please add ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in environment variable for using this

```bash
# Chat with your AI coding partner
swe-agent --pair

# Run one-time tasks
swe-agent --task "create a todo app with React"

# Work interactively on multiple tasks
swe-agent --interactive

# Use the modern terminal interface
swe-agent --warp
```

## What It Can Do

### Write Code for You
- **Build complete applications** from a simple description
- **Generate functions and classes** that actually work
- **Create tests** for your existing code
- **Write documentation** that makes sense

### Improve Existing Code
- **Find and fix bugs** before they cause problems
- **Refactor messy code** into clean, readable functions
- **Add features** to existing projects without breaking things
- **Optimize performance** bottlenecks

### Keep You Secure
- **Scan for vulnerabilities** in real-time
- **Suggest security fixes** with clear explanations
- **Check dependencies** for known issues
- **Follow security best practices** automatically

### Speed Up Your Workflow
- **Search through large codebases** instantly
- **Navigate complex projects** with ease
- **Track changes** and see what was modified
- **Integrate with git** seamlessly

## How It Works

You have four ways to work with SWE Agent:

### Pair Programming (`--pair`)
Like having a coding buddy next to you. Chat naturally about what you want to build, and watch as it writes code, explains decisions, and helps you learn.

### Quick Tasks (`--task`)
Perfect for one-off jobs. "Create a REST API for user management" or "Add authentication to my app" - just describe what you need.

### Interactive Sessions (`--interactive`) 
Work on multiple tasks in one session. Great for exploring ideas, iterating on features, and building complex projects step by step.

### Terminal Interface (`--warp`)
A modern coding environment that feels like using advanced developer tools. See your project status, git changes, and AI suggestions all in one place.

## Real Benefits

**For Beginners**: Learn by watching an expert work. See how real applications are built, from planning to deployment.

**For Experienced Developers**: Focus on architecture and business logic while the AI handles boilerplate, documentation, and testing.

**For Teams**: Maintain consistent code quality and catch issues before they reach production.

**For Everyone**: Spend less time debugging and more time building features that matter.

## Languages Supported

Works with any programming language - Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, C++, Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, and more. It adapts to your project's style and conventions automatically.

## Safety Features

- **Secure by default** - Scans every change for security issues
- **Ask before running** - Requests permission for potentially dangerous operations
- **Complete audit trail** - Logs everything for transparency
- **Sandboxed execution** - Runs code safely without affecting your system

## Getting Help

```bash
# See all options
swe-agent --help

# Check if everything is working
swe-agent --status
```

Start with `swe-agent --pair` for the best experience. It's like having a senior developer helping you code.
