Figures from each repo's GitHub metadata at analysis time.
Requires downloading and placing the separate rust-auto-gpt tool in the same folder, and you must rely on that companion project's documentation for full setup instructions.
This repository is a template project meant to be paired with a separate tool called rust-auto-gpt. Together, they let you watch an AI agent automatically write and run a Rust-based web server. The template provides the starting structure, and the AI tool rewrites part of the code each time you run it. At a basic level, the project contains two key files. One file is a code template that serves as a starting point or reference for the AI agent. The other file is where the AI agent's generated code gets written. Every time you run the separate rust-auto-gpt tool, it produces new code that replaces what is in this second file. You then use standard Rust commands to build and run the resulting server. This setup appears to be designed for learning or experimentation rather than production use. Someone curious about how AI agents can generate functional code might use this alongside the rust-auto-gpt project to see the concept in action. The connection to "game testing in the last section" suggests it may be tied to a course or tutorial where participants build and test code in stages. The README is sparse and focuses almost entirely on how the files relate to the external AI tool. It does not describe what the resulting server actually does once it runs, what endpoints or features it exposes, or how to configure it beyond building with Cargo. Instructions are limited to placing this template in the same folder as the rust-auto-gpt download and running standard build commands. Anyone using it would need to rely on the companion project's documentation for the full picture.
A starter Rust web server template designed to pair with the separate rust-auto-gpt tool, which automatically writes and rewrites server code so you can watch an AI agent generate a working backend.
