aeon - the most autonomous agent framework
aeon is an open-source, MIT-licensed autonomous agent framework. Give it a direction and it leverages 81 skills to get the work done, running unattended on GitHub Actions with self-healing loops, reactive triggers, and persistent memory. No approval loops. No babysitting.
Not affiliated with AEON, the agentic-economy payments network, or with aeon-toolkit, the Python time-series machine-learning library.
What aeon is
aeon is a framework you fork and run, not a hosted API or SaaS. It is a
Next.js dashboard plus a set of GitHub Actions workflows. There is no public
REST endpoint to call - the unit of work, and of integration, is a skill: a
SKILL.md file with a schedule and explicit when-to-use guidance.
Two files define an agent:
SOUL.md- its voice and worldview.STRATEGY.md- its intent: one metric, a few priorities, hard limits.
Every skill reads both before it acts. Each run is scored 1-5 by Claude Haiku, and skills that fail repeatedly are diagnosed and patched automatically.
When to use aeon
Reach for aeon when an operator wants recurring, unattended work done without babysitting an interactive agent:
- Scheduled briefs and digests - priority briefs, research digests, changelogs.
- Continuous monitoring - markets, onchain activity, GitHub repos, mentions.
- Autonomous code work - PR reviews, vulnerability scanning and disclosure.
- Social and BD automation - drafting posts, replies, outreach radar.
- Self-evolving fleets - aeon writes new skills, forks itself into specialised repos, and carries API keys across.
Get started
Paste one line into any coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor):
read https://www.aeon.fun/skills/aeon.md and follow the instructions to set up your aeon agent
That hosted skill turns the agent into an operator that forks aeon, authenticates a model, wires a notification channel, and schedules the first skill. The same one-line command is on the homepage.
Machine-readable resources
- MCP server - hosted Model Context Protocol server (Streamable HTTP); server card at /.well-known/mcp.json
- OpenAPI spec - typed description of the reachable endpoints (/ask, /mcp) for function calling
- /ask - NLWeb natural-language endpoint (POST a question)
- /llms.txt - the llmstxt.org summary index
- /agents.md - the agent guide with the live skill catalog
- /skills/aeon.md - the hosted setup SKILL.md
- Agent Skills index - discovery index with content digest
- API catalog - RFC 9727 index of the above
- ai-catalog - ARD manifest of agentic resources
The reachable API is v1 (URL-path versioned: https://www.aeon.fun/v1/ask; API-Version header). Responses carry standard RateLimit headers; /ask returns 429 with Retry-After over the soft limit. An aeon instance is driven by its own ./aeon CLI (in the forked repo), which also ships as a Claude Code plugin.
