Atomic Agents
Modular framework for building AI agents from small, composable atomic units.
About
Atomic Agents (Eigenwise/atomic-agents, MIT, ~6.3k stars) is a modular agent framework built around small, composable 'atomic' agent units with clean schemas — a LEGO-brick approach to agent construction rather than monolithic frameworks.
Actively maintained (pushed days ago, 18 releases/12mo) with a notably low issue count. Good fit for developers who want composability without a heavy framework.
