About Aeon
Aeon is an open source framework for autonomous AI agents that run recurring work unattended. You give it a direction and it draws on a catalogue of 85 skills to carry out tasks such as priority briefs, market monitoring, pull request reviews, research digests and security scans, without approval loops. It runs on GitHub Actions with self healing loops, reactive triggers and persistent memory, and works alongside coding agents such as Claude Code and Codex.
It is designed for engineers and operators who want to automate the long tail of routine tasks that interactive agent tools handle poorly. Setup consists of forking the repository, running the setup command, authenticating, choosing skills and pushing. Two files define each agent: SOUL.md holds its voice and STRATEGY.md holds its intent, including one metric, a few priorities and hard limits, and every skill reads both before acting. Each run is scored by Claude Haiku, and when a skill fails repeatedly Aeon diagnoses and patches it itself. The skill catalogue covers framework maintenance and fleet management, automatic merging of pull requests with passing CI, shipping recaps, article writing, business development research, topic digests, GitHub trending tracking, social research and crypto market scanning. A Next.js dashboard sits on top of the workflows.
Aeon itself is free under the MIT license. Running from a public repository uses free GitHub Actions minutes, so the only costs are the model provider and API keys you connect. A few individual skills call third party services that charge their own fees.
The project is created by Aaron Elijah Mars and developed in public on GitHub.
