CrewAI — https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI (58.1k★) — Role-based multi-agent organization; ideal for composing specialized squads of task-claiming agents. 3. OpenHands — https://github.com/OpenHands/OpenHands (86.3k★) — Autonomous software-engineering agent (ex-OpenDevin), the strongest open-source performer on coding tasks — a heavy-duty worker class for a mesh. 4. AutoGPT — https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT (187.2k★) — The most-starred autonomous agent platform and canonical general-purpose agent baseline with a wide extension ecosystem. 5. A2A — https://github.com/a2aproject/A2A (25.7k★) — Linux Foundation-backed agent-to-agent protocol; the natural interop layer for making AgentMesh-participating agents portable across systems. — picked
