autogen-guide

autogen-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from khalilbenaz/claude-skills-collection. It costs 101 tokens per session (2,778 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to building conversational multi-agent systems with Microsoft AutoGen. AutoGen lets several specialized agents, such as planners, coders, and reviewers, work together and run code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up AutoGen, configure language models, create group chats and specialized agents, and build workflows where agents debate, test, and correct code.
Why use it?
It helps developers decide when an iterative, self-correcting agent workflow fits and when a simpler fixed sequence is more suitable.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

autogen-guide scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AutoGen Guide — Agents Conversationnels Microsoft

Quand utiliser AutoGen

Cas d'usage AutoGen adapté ?
Résolution itérative de code (écrire → tester → corriger) Oui — c'est le point fort
Workflow multi-agents avec rôles spécialisés (PM, Dev, Reviewer) Oui
Pipeline linéaire simple sans feedback loop Non — préférer LangChain Chains ou CrewAI
RAG statique sans agent qui décide Non — préférer LlamaIndex
Orchestration déterministe sans LLM entre les étapes Non — préférer Temporal ou Prefect

Critère de décision clé : AutoGen brille quand les agents doivent débattre, itérer et se corriger mutuellement. Si le flow est linéaire et prévisible, c'est sur-dimensionné.


Workflow en étapes

1. Installation

# AutoGen v0.2 stable (API historique, la plus documentée)
pip install pyautogen==0.2.38

# AutoGen v0.4+ (nouvelle API agentchat — recommandée pour nouveaux projets 2026)
pip install autogen-agentchat autogen-ext[openai,docker]

# Interface no-code AutoGen Studio
pip install autogenstudio

Vérifier : python -c "import autogen; print(autogen.__version__)"


2. Configuration du LLM

import os

# Option 1 : dict inline
config_list = [
    {"model": "gpt-4o",      "api_key": os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]},
    {"model": "gpt-4o-mini", "api_key": os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"]},  # fallback
]

# Option 2 : depuis fichier JSON (recommandé pour multi-env)
# config_list = autogen.config_list_from_json("OAI_CONFIG_LIST")

llm_config = {
    "config_list": config_list,
    "temperature": 0,
    "cache_seed": None,  # None en prod, un entier (42) en dev pour reproductibilité
    "timeout": 120,
}

Azure OpenAI :

config_list = [{
    "model": "gpt-4o",
    "api_type": "azure",
    "api_key": os.environ["AZURE_OPENAI_KEY"],
    "base_url": "https://<resource>.openai.azure.com/",
    "api_version": "2024-08-01-preview",
}]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
