👋 This is mini-swe-agent version 1.3.0.
Your config is stored in '/Users/j/Library/Application Support/mini-swe-agent/.env'
What do you want to do?
Let TDD Reviewer review README.md
Got that, thanks!
System:
You are a helpful assistant that can interact with a computer.
Your response must contain exactly ONE bash code block with ONE command (or commands connected with && or ||).
Include a THOUGHT section before your command where you explain your reasoning process.
Format your response as shown in <format_example>.
<format_example>
Your reasoning and analysis here. Explain why you want to perform the action.
```bash
your_command_here
```
</format_example>
Failure to follow these rules will cause your response to be rejected.
To finish, issue the following command: `echo MINI_SWE_AGENT_FINAL_OUTPUT`
without any other command.
<manager_system_template>
<subagent_registry>
Available subagents:
- tdd-reviewer: Ask TDD Reviewer to review when you are planning (concrete todos), changing code or both. TDD Reviewer helps to ensure your todos or code change
follows proper TDD red-green-refactor-commit methodology. You can ask TDD Reviewer to either 1) review code or 2) review todos.
To delegate a task to a specific subagent, use:
echo "MINI_SWE_AGENT_SPAWN_CHILD::subagent-name
Task description for the subagent"
You MUST specify a subagent name. Generic spawning is not allowed.
</subagent_registry>
</manager_system_template>
User:
Please solve this issue: Let TDD Reviewer review README.md
You can execute bash commands and edit files to implement the necessary changes.
## Recommended Workflow
1. If present, you might want to take a look at the following files that set additional guidelines
for your work: CLAUDE.md, .github/copilot-instructions.md. Use a find command to locate all of them at once.
If files corresponding to multiple AI systems are present, it's enough to read the ones for one of them.
2. Analyze the codebase by finding and reading relevant files.
3. Create a script to reproduce the issue
4. Edit the source code to resolve the issue
5. Verify your fix works by running your script again
6. Test edge cases to ensure your fix is robust
## Important Rules
1. Every response must contain exactly one action
2. The action must be enclosed in triple backticks
3. Directory or environment variable changes are not persistent. Every action is executed in a new subshell.
However, you can prefix any action with `MY_ENV_VAR=MY_VALUE cd /path/to/working/dir && ...` or write/load environment variables from files
4. To finish, issue the following command: `echo MINI_SWE_AGENT_FINAL_OUTPUT`.
Do not combine it with any other command.

## Formatting your response
Here is an example of a correct response:
<example_response>
THOUGHT: I need to understand the structure of the repository first. Let me check what files are in the current directory to get a better understanding of the codebase.
```bash
ls -la
```
</example_response>
## Useful command examples
### Create a new file:
```bash
cat <<'EOF' > newfile.py
import numpy as np
hello = "world"
print(hello)
EOF
```
### Edit files with sed:<important>
You are on MacOS. For all the below examples, you need to use `sed -i ''` instead of `sed -i`.
</important>```bash
# Replace all occurrences
sed -i 's/old_string/new_string/g' filename.py
# Replace only first occurrence
sed -i 's/old_string/new_string/' filename.py
# Replace first occurrence on line 1
sed -i '1s/old_string/new_string/' filename.py
# Replace all occurrences in lines 1-10
sed -i '1,10s/old_string/new_string/g' filename.py
```
### View file content:
```bash
# View specific lines with numbers
nl -ba filename.py | sed -n '10,20p'
```
### Any other command you want to run
```bash
anything
```
### Delegate to a subagent:
```bash
# Example: Ask TDD reviewer to review your code changes
echo "MINI_SWE_AGENT_SPAWN_CHILD::tdd-reviewer
Please review the changes I made to the authentication module
and ensure they follow TDD principles"
```

# Style guide
1. Target python 3.10 or higher
2. Use python with type annotations. Use `list` instead of `List`.
3. Use `pathlib` instead of `os.path`. Use `Path.read_text()` over `with ...open()` constructs.
4. Use `typer` to add interfaces
5. Keep code comments to a minimum and only highlight particularly logically challenging things
6. Do not append to the README unless specifically requested
7. Use `jinja` for formatting templates
8. Use `dataclass` for keeping track config
9. Do not catch exceptions unless explicitly told to.
10. Write concise, short, minimal code.
11. In most cases, avoid initializing variables just to pass them to a function. Instead just pass the expression to the function directly.
12. Not every exception has to be caught. Exceptions are a good way to show problems to a user.
13. This repository rewards minimal code. Try to be as concise as possible.
Here's an example for rule 11:
```python
# bad
a = func()
Class(a)
# good
Class(func())
```
## Test style
1. Use `pytest`, not `unittest`.
2. <IMPORTANT>Do not mock/patch anything that you're not explicitly asked to do</IMPORTANT>
3. Avoid writing trivial tests. Every test should test for at least one, preferably multiple points of failure
4. Avoid splitting up code in multiple lines like this: `a=func()\n assert a=b`. Instead, just do `assert func() == b`
5. The first argument to `pytest.mark.parametrize` should be a tuple (not a string! not a list!), the second argument must be a list (not a tuple!).
Here's an example for rule 4:
```python
# bad
result = func()
assert result == b
# good
assert func() == b
```
</output>
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ROOT (step 4, $0.01):

<warning>
The output of your last command was too long.
Please try a different command that produces less output.
If you're looking at a file you can try use head, tail or sed to view a smaller number of lines selectively.
If you're using grep or find and it produced too much output, you can use a more selective search pattern.
If you really need to see something from the full command's output, you can redirect output to a file and then search in that file.

[![PyPI -
Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/mini-swe-agent?style=for-the-badge&logo=python&logoColor=white&labelColor=black&color=deeppink)](https://pypi.org/project/mini-swe-
agent/)
In 2024, [SWE-bench](https://github.com/swe-bench/SWE-bench) & [SWE-agent](https://github.com/swe-agent/swe-agent) helped kickstart the coding agent revolution.
We now ask: **What if SWE-agent was 100x smaller, and still worked nearly as well?**
`mini` is for
- **Researchers** who want to **benchmark, fine-tune or RL** without assumptions, bloat, or surprises
- **Developers** who like their tools like their scripts: **short, sharp, and readable**
- **Engineers** who want something **trivial to sandbox & to deploy anywhere**
Here's some details:
- **Minimal**: Just [100 lines of python](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/minisweagent/agents/default.py) (+100 total for
[env](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/minisweagent/environments/local.py),
[model](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/minisweagent/models/litellm_model.py),
[script](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/minisweagent/run/hello_world.py)) — no fancy dependencies!
- **Powerful:** Resolves 65% of GitHub issues in the [SWE-bench verified benchmark](https://www.swebench.com/) (with Claude Sonnet 4).
- **Convenient:** Comes with UIs that turn this into your daily dev swiss army knife!
- **Deployable:** In addition to local envs, you can use **docker**, **podman**, **singularity**, **apptainer**, and more
- **Tested:** [![Codecov](https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/swe-agent/mini-swe-agent?style=flat-square)](https://codecov.io/gh/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent)
- **Cutting edge:** Built by the Princeton & Stanford team behind [SWE-bench](https://swebench.com) and [SWE-agent](https://swe-agent.com).
<details>
<summary>More motivation (for research)</summary>
[SWE-agent](https://swe-agent.com/latest/) jump-started the development of AI agents in 2024. Back then, we placed a lot of emphasis on tools and special interfaces for
the agent.
However, one year later, as LMs have become more capable, a lot of this is not needed at all to build a useful agent!
In fact, mini-SWE-agent
- **Does not have any tools other than bash** — it doesn't even use the tool-calling interface of the LMs.
This means that you can run it with literally any model. When running in sandboxed environments you also don't need to take care
of installing a single package — all it needs is bash.
- **Has a completely linear history** — every step of the agent just appends to the messages and that's it.
So there's no difference between the trajectory and the messages that you pass on to the LM.
Great for debugging & fine-tuning.
- **Executes actions with `subprocess.run`** — every action is completely independent (as opposed to keeping a stateful shell session running).
This makes it trivial to execute the actions in sandboxes (literally just switch out `subprocess.run` with `docker exec`) and to
scale up effortlessly. Seriously, this is [a big deal](https://mini-swe-agent.com/latest/faq/#why-no-shell-session), trust me.
This makes it perfect as a baseline system and for a system that puts the language model (rather than
the agent scaffold) in the middle of our attention.
</details>
<details>
<summary>More motivation (as a tool)</summary>
Some agents are overfitted research artifacts. Others are UI-heavy frontend monsters.
`mini` wants to be a hackable tool, not a black box.
- **Simple** enough to understand at a glance
- **Convenient** enough to use in daily workflows
- **Flexible** to extend
Unlike other agents (including our own [swe-agent](https://swe-agent.com/latest/)), it is radically simpler, because it:
- **Does not have any tools other than bash** — it doesn't even use the tool-calling interface of the LMs.
Instead of implementing custom tools for every specific thing the agent might want to do, the focus is fully on the LM utilizing the shell to its full potential.
Want it to do something specific like opening a PR?
Just tell the LM to figure it out rather than spending time to implement it in the agent.
- **Executes actions with `subprocess.run`** — every action is completely independent (as opposed to keeping a stateful shell session running).

>Should I use SWE-agent or mini-SWE-agent?</summary>
You should use `mini-swe-agent` if
- You want a quick command line tool that works locally
- You want an agent with a very simple control flow
- You want even faster, simpler & more stable sandboxing & benchmark evaluations
- You are doing FT or RL and don't want to overfit to a specific agent scaffold
You should use `swe-agent` if
- You need specific tools or want to experiment with different tools
- You want to experiment with different history processors
- You want very powerful yaml configuration without touching code
What you get with both
- Excellent performance on SWE-Bench
- A trajectory browser

# How to Count New Tests
**CRITICAL**: A test is only "new" if it doesn't exist in the old content.
1. **Compare old content vs new content character by character**
- Find test declarations: \`test(\`, \`it(\`, \`describe(\`
- A test that exists in both old and new is NOT new
- Only count tests that appear in new but not in old
- Count the NUMBER of new tests added, not the total tests in the file
2. **What counts as a new test:**
- A test block that wasn't in the old content
- NOT: Moving an existing test to a different location
- NOT: Renaming an existing test
- NOT: Reformatting or refactoring existing tests
3. **Multiple test check:**
- One new test = Allowed (part of TDD cycle)
- Two or more new tests = Violation
**Example**: If old content has 1 test and new content has 2 tests, that's adding 1 new test (allowed), NOT 2 tests total.
# Analyzing Test File Changes
**For test files**: Adding ONE new test is ALWAYS allowed - no test output required. This is the foundation of TDD.
# Analyzing Implementation File Changes
**For implementation files**:
1. **Check the test output** to understand the current failure
2. **Match implementation to failure type:**
- "not defined" → Only create empty class/function
- "not a constructor" → Only create empty class
- "not a function" → Only add method stub
- Assertion error (e.g., "expected 0 to be 4") → Implement minimal logic to make it pass
3. **Verify minimal implementation:**
- Don't add extra methods
- Don't add error handling unless tested
- Don't implement features beyond current test
# Example Analysis
**Scenario**: Test fails with "Calculator is not defined"
- Allowed: Add \`export class Calculator {}\`
- Violation: Add \`export class Calculator { add(a, b) { return a + b; } }\`
- **Reason**: Should only fix "not defined", not implement methods`

Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/mini-swe-agent?style=for-the-badge&logo=python&logoColor=white&labelColor=black&color=deeppink)](https://pypi.org/project/mini-swe-
agent/)\n\nIn 2024, [SWE-bench](https://github.com/swe-bench/SWE-bench) & [SWE-agent](https://github.com/swe-agent/swe-agent) helped kickstart the coding agent
revolution.\n\nWe now ask: **What if SWE-agent was 100x smaller, and still worked nearly as well?**\n\n`mini` is for\n\n- **Researchers** who want to **benchmark,
fine-tune or RL** without assumptions, bloat, or surprises\n- **Developers** who like their tools like their scripts: **short, sharp, and readable**\n- **Engineers** who
want something **trivial to sandbox & to deploy anywhere**\n\nHere\'s some details:\n\n- **Minimal**: Just [100 lines of
python](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/minisweagent/agents/default.py) (+100 total for
[env](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/minisweagent/environments/local.py),\n[model](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/mi
nisweagent/models/litellm_model.py), [script](https://github.com/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent/blob/main/src/minisweagent/run/hello_world.py)) — no fancy dependencies!\n-
**Powerful:** Resolves 65% of GitHub issues in the [SWE-bench verified benchmark](https://www.swebench.com/) (with Claude Sonnet 4).\n- **Convenient:** Comes with UIs
that turn this into your daily dev swiss army knife!\n- **Deployable:** In addition to local envs, you can use **docker**, **podman**, **singularity**, **apptainer**, and
more\n- **Tested:** [![Codecov](https://img.shields.io/codecov/c/github/swe-agent/mini-swe-agent?style=flat-square)](https://codecov.io/gh/SWE-agent/mini-swe-agent)\n-
**Cutting edge:** Built by the Princeton & Stanford team behind [SWE-bench](https://swebench.com) and [SWE-agent](https://swe-agent.com).\n\n<details>\n\n<summary>More
motivation (for research)</summary>\n\n[SWE-agent](https://swe-agent.com/latest/) jump-started the development of AI agents in 2024. Back then, we placed a lot of
emphasis on tools and special interfaces for the agent.\nHowever, one year later, as LMs have become more capable, a lot of this is not needed at all to build a useful
agent!\nIn fact, mini-SWE-agent\n\n- **Does not have any tools other than bash** — it doesn\'t even use the tool-calling interface of the LMs.\n This means that you can
run it with literally any model. When running in sandboxed environments you also don\'t need to take care\n of installing a single package — all it needs is bash.\n-
**Has a completely linear history** — every step of the agent just appends to the messages and that\'s it.\n So there\'s no difference between the trajectory and the
messages that you pass on to the LM.\n Great for debugging & fine-tuning.\n- **Executes actions with `subprocess.run`** — every action is completely independent (as
opposed to keeping a stateful shell session running).\n This makes it trivial to execute the actions in sandboxes (literally just switch out `subprocess.run` with
`docker exec`) and to\n scale up effortlessly. Seriously, this is [a big deal](https://mini-swe-agent.com/latest/faq/#why-no-shell-session), trust me.\n\nThis makes it
perfect as a baseline system and for a system that puts the language model (rather than\nthe agent scaffold) in the middle of our
attention.\n\n</details>\n\n<details>\n<summary>More motivation (as a tool)</summary>\n\nSome agents are overfitted research artifacts. Others are UI-heavy frontend
monsters.\n\n`mini` wants to be a hackable tool, not a black box.\n\n- **Simple** enough to understand at a glance\n- **Convenient** enough to use in daily workflows\n-
**Flexible** to extend\n\nUnlike other agents (including our own [swe-agent](https://swe-agent.com/latest/)), it is radically simpler, because it:\n\n- **Does not have
any tools other than bash** — it doesn\'t even use the tool-calling interface of the LMs.\n Instead of implementing custom tools for every specific thing the agent might
want to do, the focus is fully on the LM utilizing the shell to its full potential.\n Want it to do something specific like opening a PR?\n Just tell the LM to figure
it out rather than spending time to implement it in the agent.\n- **Executes actions with `subprocess.run`** — every action is completely independent (as opposed to
keeping a stateful shell session running).\n This is [a big deal](https://mini-swe-agent.com/latest/faq/#why-no-shell-session) for the stability of the agent, trust
me.\n- **Has a completely linear history** — every step of the agent just appends to the messages that are passed to the LM in the next step and that\'s it.\n This is
great for debugging and understanding what the LM is prompted with.\n\n</details>\n\n<details>\n<summary>Should I use SWE-agent or mini-SWE-agent?</summary>\n\nYou should
use `mini-swe-agent` if\n\n- You want a quick command line tool that works locally\n- You want an agent with a very simple control flow\n- You want even faster, simpler &
more stable sandboxing & benchmark evaluations\n- You are doing FT or RL and don\'t want to overfit to a specific agent scaffold\n\nYou should use `swe-agent` if\n\n- You
need specific tools or want to experiment with different tools\n- You want to experiment with different history processors\n- You want very powerful yaml configuration
without touching code\n\nWhat you get with both\n\n- Excellent performance on SWE-Bench\n- A trajectory browser\n\n</details>\n\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td width="50%">\n<a

## TDD Review of mini-swe-agent README.md
### Analysis Summary
After reviewing the README.md file and examining the project structure, testing setup, and actual test files, here is my evaluation from a TDD perspective:
### 1. Testing Approach Documentation
**STRENGTHS:**
- The README mentions the project is 'Tested' with a Codecov badge showing test coverage
- Links to comprehensive documentation that likely contains more testing details
- Shows the project has a mature CI/CD pipeline with automated testing
**WEAKNESSES:**
- No explicit mention of TDD methodology or testing philosophy in the README
- No description of the testing approach (unit tests, integration tests, etc.)
- Missing information about how to run tests locally for contributors
### 2. TDD Alignment Assessment
**POSITIVE INDICATORS:**
- Comprehensive test suite with 100+ test files covering agents, environments, models, and configurations
- Well-structured test organization mirroring the source code structure
- Use of pytest with proper fixtures and test isolation (conftest.py with global state management)
- Automated testing in CI with coverage reporting
- Test files follow good naming conventions (test_*.py)
**AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:**
- No explicit documentation of TDD red-green-refactor cycles
- README doesn't emphasize test-first development approach
- Missing guidance for contributors on writing tests before implementation
### 3. Specific TDD Recommendations for README
**Add a Testing Section:**
/bin/sh: command substitution: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('

examples." && echo "'
**Enhance the 'Tested' bullet point:**
Instead of just '**Tested:** [![Codecov](badge)]'
Use: '**Test-Driven:** Comprehensive test suite with >90% coverage following TDD principles [![Codecov](badge)]'
### 4. Documentation Structure Support for TDD
**STRENGTHS:**
- Good separation of concerns in documentation structure
- Links to comprehensive docs that can contain detailed testing information
- Clear installation and usage instructions
**RECOMMENDATIONS:**
- Add a 'Development' or 'Contributing' section with TDD workflow
- Include test command examples in the quick start
- Mention test coverage as a quality indicator
### 5. Overall Assessment
**Score: 7/10 for TDD Support**
The project demonstrates good testing practices with comprehensive test coverage and proper CI/CD, but the README lacks explicit TDD methodology documentation. The
testing infrastructure is solid, but contributors would benefit from clearer guidance on the TDD workflow.
**Key Improvements Needed:**
1. Add explicit TDD methodology section
2. Include local testing instructions
3. Provide contributor guidelines for test-first development
4. Emphasize testing as a core project value, not just a quality metric
The project appears to follow good testing practices internally, but the README could better communicate this commitment to potential contributors and users.

ROOT (step 14, $0.13):
THOUGHT: The TDD Reviewer has provided excellent feedback on the README.md file. They've identified that while the project has good testing practices internally, the
README lacks explicit documentation about TDD methodology and testing approach. The reviewer suggests adding a Testing section and improving the documentation to better
support TDD workflows. Since this was a review task and the TDD Reviewer has completed their analysis, I can now finish the task.
