teaql-agent-kit

A model-mediated harness for reliable agentic software development.

Runssource: GitHubhomepagePythonMITcommit e0db10da45a4

Python, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: agentic coding, ai coding, code generation, coding agent, ddd, developer tools, domain driven design and harness engineering.

teaql-agent-kit runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 0.5 minutes and hit 2 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.

Python-based teaql_workspace.py tool verifies and applies runtime source configurations for all 7 supported languages; the build-teaql-app skill, golden examples, and reference documentation are complete and well-formed; the npx skills add install path is gated by a Node.js 22 requirement not met in this container.

What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured

Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured

From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.

What went wrong, in the agent's own words

The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.

  • npx skills add fails: Node.js v18.19.1 too old, needs >=22.20.0 (styleText not found in node:util)
  • Rust, Java, Go, Swift, C#/.NET toolchains not installed in container, generated-application verification not possible

What was not measured

The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.

Peak GPU memory
this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
Behaviour over a long run
each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load

Watch the session

The whole run, from a clean machine, at the speed it actually happened. Nothing is cut and nothing is sped up.

A recording of attempt 2, run , the attempt that decided the verdict above. The terminal recording it was made from is the evidence, stored with a sha256 fingerprint; the video is a rendering of it. Nothing loads from the video host until you press play.

The end of the recording

The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.

How it was tested

One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.

Strengths and limits

Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.

What went well

  • Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
  • Installed in 0.5 minutes, faster than the median of the 8 comparable projects Argusic has measured.
  • Recovered from all 2 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
  • Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
  • Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
  • Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.

Of the 9 agentic-coding projects Argusic has installed and timed, teaql-agent-kit was the 2nd fastest to reach a running state, and 8 of 9 reached one at all.

What it is a reasonable choice for

  • Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
  • A quick evaluation: it was running 0.5 minutes after the clone.

Also tested, in the same area

Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.

Questions

Does teaql-agent-kit run?
Yes. teaql-agent-kit runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 1 minutes, hitting 2 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
How did Argusic test teaql-agent-kit?
On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit e0db10da45a4. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
What did it cost to test teaql-agent-kit?
The run that produced this verdict cost $0.02: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
How long does teaql-agent-kit take to install?
0.5 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
Does teaql-agent-kit need a GPU?
Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
What goes wrong when installing teaql-agent-kit?
2 things broke in the recorded run, and 2 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
How does teaql-agent-kit compare with the alternatives?
Of the 9 agentic-coding projects Argusic has installed and timed, teaql-agent-kit was the 2nd fastest to reach a running state, and 8 of 9 reached one at all.
Where is the evidence for teaql-agent-kit?
All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
