4 use cases

  • Research a question with a parallel agent team

    A coordinator splits a broad question into parallel sub-agent tasks and returns one synthesized report.

    View prompt
    Using the FrontierAgent repo at <repo path>, run agent_team mode with --cwd set to <project path> and the question <question>. The expected output is a final report plus deliverables in the run's /outputs folder. Verify that the report cites evidence the sub-agents collected and that the run directory contains the checkpoint and trace.

  • Analyze a project or documents with one stateful agent

    A single ReAct agent reads files, runs commands, and writes deliverables inside a sandboxed task folder.

    View prompt
    Using the FrontierAgent repo at <repo path>, run react mode with --cwd set to <target folder> and attach the documents <document paths> with --input. The expected output is a written summary of the files in /outputs. Verify that the agent only reads from /inputs and that each command it ran appears in the trace.

  • Install frontier-agent once and launch it in any folder

    Install the command with uv and keep your endpoint settings in one user file.

    View prompt
    Install the FrontierAgent command from the repo at git+https://github.com/ApodexAI/FrontierAgent.git, then start it inside <project path>. The expected output is an open TUI session scoped to that project. Verify that the endpoint settings load from the user config file and that the session starts without errors.

  • Run the agent in a Docker container from a local build

    Build the checkout into a container with Compose and run the agent inside it.

    View prompt
    Using the FrontierAgent repo at <repo path>, build the checkout with Docker Compose using compose.yaml and compose.dev.yaml, then run the agent service. The expected output is a running agent session inside the container. Verify that the container starts, reads the endpoint values from .env, and that the run directory is created.

How to use Frontier Agent

  1. Check you have what it needs: Git; Python 3.12; uv.
  2. Open ApodexAI/FrontierAgent on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. git clone https://github.com/ApodexAI/FrontierAgent.git
  4. cd FrontierAgent
  5. uv sync --python 3.12 --extra dev
  6. cp .env.example .env, then set OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_BASE_URL, and OPENAI_MODEL in .env

These steps come from our top use case, Research a question with a parallel agent team, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
