Mini-Agent
A minimal yet professional single agent demo project that showcases the core execution pipeline and production-grade features of agents.
Mini-Agent is a production-ready AI agent demonstration project built on the MiniMax M2.5 model with Anthropic-compatible API support. It showcases a complete agent execution pipeline featuring persistent memory through session notes, intelligent context management for long-running tasks, and native integration with both Claude Skills and MCP tools. Developers can use it as a foundation for building custom agents or deploy it immediately for file operations, web search, document generation, and development tasks through a clean command-line interface.
