bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Automates turning research papers into runnable implementations, targeting researchers and engineers who otherwise reproduce algorithms by hand.
  • Also generates front-end web apps and backend APIs from text specifications, covering three distinct code-generation tasks in one tool.
  • Reports 76% on OpenAI's PaperBench versus 72% for a top machine learning PhD baseline, with roughly 16k GitHub stars.

under the hood

  • Python system built around a multi-agent pipeline, with separate agents for intent understanding, document parsing, code planning, code generation, and reference mining under a central orchestrator.
  • Integrates external tools through the Model Context Protocol, including filesystem, web fetch, GitHub download, and code execution servers.
  • Uses a CodeRAG retrieval layer for code discovery and supports OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and OpenRouter-compatible model providers, with CLI, React web UI, and Docker interfaces.
