A "junior developer" agent that scaffolds an entire codebase from a product spec, and can also be imported as building blocks to embed code generation inside your own app.
Generates code from a product spec/prompt: it plans shared dependencies, specifies file paths, and generates the source code for each file. Can be run in Git Repo mode (human-in-the-loop), Library mode (importable functions), or API mode via Agent Protocol.
smol developer is a code-generation agent that scaffolds entire codebases from a product spec. Per the code-derived surface analysis, it makes outbound calls to the OpenAI API (for LLM inference) and writes generated code files to the working directory across multiple variable/constructed paths. The README "human in the loop" framing describes an iterative workflow where the human re-runs/edits, but there is no code-enforced approval gate before file generation — the agent autonomously plans, determines file paths, and writes a multi-file codebase in one run without per-file confirmation. This multi-step autonomous file-writing places it at Tier 4. It does not modify its own code/prompts or spawn agents, so it is not Tier 5.
