Muse Code

dev.meta.ai

AI coding agent for complex software engineering and agentic workflows.

Overview

Muse Code is Meta's terminal-based coding agent built on Muse Spark, designed to handle complex software engineering tasks and long-horizon agentic work. It plans, edits files, and executes commands with built-in approvals and OS sandboxing from the first run, making it suitable for both local development and CI/CD pipelines.

The agent coordinates multiple workers in parallel with background reviewers, ensuring code quality without sacrificing speed. Every action is transparent and traceable, with full audit trails for understanding AI decisions and maintaining confidence across workflows. Muse Code integrates seamlessly with existing development environments and supports multimodal inputs including images and video uploads.
