• Abstract: Skele-Code is a natural-language and graph-based interface for building workflows with AI agents, designed especially for less or non-technical users. It supports incremental, interactive notebook-style development, and each step is converted to code with a required set of functions and behavior to enable incremental building of workflows. Agents are invoked only for code generation and error recovery, not orchestration or task execution. This agent-supported, but code-first approach to workflows, along with the context-engineering used in Skele-Code, can help reduce token costs compared to the multi-agent system approach to executing workflows. Skele-Code produces modular, easily extensible, and shareable workflows. The generated workflows can also be used as skills by agents, or as steps in other workflows.

  This work proposes to use Python code to consolidate Large Language Model (LLM) agents' actions into a unified action space (CodeAct) integrated with a Python interpreter, CodeAct can execute code actions and dynamically revise prior actions or emit new actions upon new observations through multi-turn interactions. The encouraging performance of CodeAct motivates us to build an open-source LLM agent that interacts with environments by executing interpretable code and collaborates with users using natural language.
