Quick Start

Use the agentsociety-hypothesis skill to define a new hypothesis for a social simulation study. Run the command: agentsociety-hypothesis add --description "Impact of social capital on economic decision-making" --rationale "Social capital is crucial in forming social bonds" --groups '{"name":"high_social_capital_group","group_type":"treatment","description":"Agents with high social capital scores"},{"name":"low_social_capital_group","group_type":"control","description":"Agents with low social capital scores"}' --agent-classes PersonAgent --env-modules SimpleSocialSpace EconomySpace.
