Hello everyone, it’s nice to see you again! I am the GitHub Picks guy!
Background Introduction
In the software development process, we often face the challenge of handling complex tasks and collaboration among multiple people. How to assign different GPT models to different roles and form a collaborative software entity has become the core issue we need to solve. This problem involves generating product documentation, architectural design, task lists, code, and more from a brief requirement description, which has a high level of detail and complexity.
Today, I would like to recommend a GitHub open source project geekan/MetaGPT, which has over 1.2k stars on GitHub. To summarize the project in one sentence: “The Multi-Agent Meta Programming Framework: Given one line Requirement, return PRD, Design, Tasks, Repo | Multi-Agent Meta Programming Framework: Given the boss’s requirements, output product documentation, architectural design, task lists, and code.”
Project Introduction
MetaGPT is a multi-agent meta programming framework designed to solve the aforementioned problems. The project has the following features:
-
• MetaGPT accepts a brief requirement description as input and outputs user stories, competitive analysis, requirement documentation, data structures, API documentation, and more.
-
• Internally, MetaGPT includes different roles such as product managers, architects, project managers, and engineers, providing a complete software company process and carefully designed standard operating procedures (SOP).
-
• The core idea is “Code = SOP(Team)”, achieving collaborative work among multiple roles in a software company by concretizing SOP and applying it to a team composed of LLMs.
It’s like starting a software outsourcing company with GPT. Isn’t this project very imaginative?
How to Use
To start using MetaGPT, you can follow these steps for installation:
# Step 1: Ensure NPM is installed on the system and install mermaid-js
npm --version
sudo npm install -g @mermaid-js/mermaid-cli
# Step 2: Ensure Python 3.9+ is installed on the system, you can check with the following command
python --version
# Step 3: Clone the project locally and install dependencies
git clone https://github.com/geekan/metagpt
cd metagpt
python setup.py installThe project’s configuration includes:
-
• Configure
OPENAI_API_KEYinconfig/key.yaml,config/config.yaml, or environment variables, with the priority order ofconfig/key.yaml>config/config.yaml> environment variables. -
• An optional configuration item is
OPENAI_API_BASE.
Below is the output generated by the project based on the command python startup.py "Design a RecSys like Toutiao" (design a recommendation system similar to Toutiao), which includes data and API design, etc. Isn’t it impressive?
