Autonomous Code Improvement Agent (ACIA)

Overview

ACIA is a foundation model for autonomous code analysis, improvement, and deployment. It continuously monitors codebases and production logs, identifies issues and opportunities for improvement, generates fixes, creates pull requests, and notifies stakeholders—all without human intervention.

Components

1. Orchestrator

The heart of the system - runs indefinitely, scheduling and coordinating all other components.

2. Log Analyzer

Ingests production logs, identifies errors, patterns, and anomalies that indicate code issues.

3. Code Analyzer

Performs static analysis, complexity checks, security scans, and identifies improvement opportunities.

4. Improvement Engine

Uses AI/LLM to generate code fixes, refactoring suggestions, and optimizations.

5. Change Manager

Handles Git operations, branch creation, and PR submission.

6. Notification Service

Sends emails and other notifications about changes made.

Quick Start

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure the system
cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
# Edit config.yaml with your settings

# Run the agent
python -m acia.main run --config config.yaml

Configuration

See config.example.yaml for all available options.
