Ouroboros
Ouroboros is an open-source general-purpose AI agent that can rewrite the system it inhabits. It works on external projects, coordinates live swarms of specialist agents, and autonomously evolves its own implementation across code, architecture, prompts, tools, and dependencies. The agent maintains a persistent identity, memory, and history across tasks and restarts, with built-in verification, research, and adversarial review capabilities to ensure reliable outcomes.
