    Rubric upgrade: agenticness v3.0 (8 dims, /32) → v3.1 (9 dims, /36). Adds Dim 9 (Operator Sovereignty), splits Dim 6 into 6a/6b lenses, tightens Dim 4 autonomous-retry distinction.

What It Is

MetaGPT is an open-source multi-agent framework for building software-oriented AI workflows. According to its README, it organizes LLMs into roles such as product manager, architect, project manager, and engineer so they can work together on complex tasks using defined SOPs.

What to Know

MetaGPT is more of a framework than a finished end-user app. It looks strongest for developers who want to experiment with multi-agent orchestration, code generation, and structured task decomposition. The documentation shows it can generate a repo...
