MASlite is an open-source, lightweight multi-agent system framework for Python developers. It allows you to define autonomous agents with custom behaviors, manage inter-agent communication through events, schedule tasks, and simulate complex environments. With minimal dependencies and a plugin architecture, MASlite accelerates prototyping of distributed AI applications, cooperative robotics, or educational simulations.

With minimal dependencies and a plugin architecture, MASlite accelerates prototyping of distributed AI applications, cooperative robotics, or educational simulations.
MASlite provides a clear API to create agent classes, register behaviors, and handle event-driven messaging between agents. It includes a scheduler to manage agent tasks, environment modeling to simulate interactions, and a plugin system to extend core capabilities. Developers can rapidly prototype multi-agent scenarios in Python by defining agent lifecycle methods, connecting agents via channels, and running simulations in a headless mode or integrating with visualization tools.
