# choco vs agent-framework

choco and agent-framework share 3 technologies: Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions, and System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource. choco is written in C# and agent-framework in Python.

- [chocolatey/choco](https://seerepo.com/r/chocolatey/choco): Chocolatey - the package manager for Windows
- [microsoft/agent-framework](https://seerepo.com/r/microsoft/agent-framework): A framework for building, orchestrating and deploying AI agents and multi-agent workflows with support for Python and .NET.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: Microsoft.Extensions.Logging, Microsoft.Extensions.Logging.Abstractions, System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource
- Only in choco: Microsoft.Extensions.Options, System.ValueTuple, System.Runtime, System.Security.Principal.Windows, System.ComponentModel.Annotations, Microsoft.Diagnostics.Tracing.TraceEvent, log4net
- Only in agent-framework: ASP.NET Core, FastAPI, azure-cosmos, azure-search-documents, Microsoft.Extensions.VectorData.Abstractions, pgvector, psycopg, pymongo, Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos, Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory, MongoDB, Redis, Azure.Storage.Blobs, Postgres, DuckDB, mssql-python, oracledb, OpenAI, MCP, Anthropic, Mistral AI, Qdrant, Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting, uvicorn, AIOHTTP, React, Vite, Azure.Identity, Microsoft.Agents.CopilotStudio.Client, msal, a2a-sdk, agent-framework-core, azure-ai-inference, github-copilot-sdk, mem0ai, Microsoft.Extensions.AI.Abstractions, Microsoft.Extensions.AI.OpenAI, ModelContextProtocol, Azure.AI.Projects, agent-framework-openai, Microsoft.Extensions.AI, AGUI.Abstractions, Ollama, typesafe-sdk, AGUI.Server, Microsoft.ML.Tokenizers, filetype, Pydantic, msgspec, jsonschema, Aspire, azure-core, OpenTelemetry, boto3, botocore, psutil, Tailwind CSS, class-variance-authority, next-themes, tailwind-merge, Radix UI, xyflow, Lucide

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
