Prime Agent is an open-source coding and research agent designed for complex workflows and long-running autonomous tasks. Its Recursive Language Model architecture treats context as programmable variables and subagents as callable functions inside a persistent Python environment. Files, shell commands, tools, context operations, and agent coordination are handled programmatically through the same runtime. Built-in subagents can work in parallel or continue tasks independently while returning results to a parent agent. A continual harness stores memories, skills, prompts, and reusable agent specifications that can improve through evidence-backed refinement. Daemon-backed sessions survive terminal disconnections and can be resumed later. Automatic compaction, persistent goals, schedules, heartbeats, and autonomous execution help maintain progress across extended tasks.
