LightAgent
VerifiedUltra-lightweight open-source framework for modular agent skills and collaboration.
What is LightAgent?
LightAgent is an open-source agentic framework focused on lightweight design and native skill composition. It integrates persistent memory, tool usage, and structured reasoning to support task-oriented agents that can collaborate in groups.
The system works by allowing developers to define skills, connect to models like OpenAI or Qwen, and expose streaming endpoints. It handles multi-agent workflows and external protocol connections for broader compatibility.
It targets developers building production agents who need modularity without heavy dependencies, especially those requiring quick integration into existing chat interfaces or custom LLM pipelines.
