What is InitRunner?
InitRunner is an open-source command-line tool that lets you define AI agents as YAML role files and run them directly from your terminal. It acts as an init system for AI agents, handling installation, setup, and execution with a single command. The tool supports multiple providers, tools, and autonomous operation, making it easy to deploy and manage AI agents in development workflows.
How to use InitRunner?
- Install InitRunner with a single curl command, then run 'initrunner setup' to pick a provider and save your API key. Create an agent by generating a YAML role file with 'initrunner new', pulling one from InitHub, or importing from PydanticAI or LangChain. Finally, run the agent with 'initrunner run agent.yaml' to start a conversation or execute autonomous tasks.
