What is make-agent?

make-agent is an AI agent framework where your system prompt and tools are defined in a Makefile. Annotated targets become callable tools.

Before you start

• Python 3.11 or newer
• A working make binary
• An API key for your chosen model provider (for example ANTHROPIC_API_KEY)

LLM model support

make-agent supports OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, and Ollama model providers through model strings passed to --model and --agent-model.

You can also use a llama.cpp-compatible server by configuring a matching model/provider endpoint in your environment and passing the corresponding model string.

uv run make_agent --agent-model ollama/gpt-oss:120b --model ollama/gpt-oss:120b
