0agent

A persistent, learning AI agent that runs on your machine.

Runs a local daemon. Learns from every task. Remembers everything. Gets better over time.

What is this?

0agent is a CLI agent that runs as a background daemon on your machine. It executes real tasks — shell commands, file operations, web search, browser automation — using your API key, and learns from every outcome via a weighted knowledge graph.

Unlike chat-based AI tools, 0agent:

• Persists — runs in the background, remembers past sessions
• Learns — every task outcome updates edge weights in a graph; plan selection improves over time
• Executes — actually runs commands, writes files, searches the web, opens browsers
• Syncs — optionally backs up the knowledge graph to a private GitHub repo

---

Quick start

npx 0agent@latest

The wizard asks for:

1. LLM provider + API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Gemini, or local Ollama)
2. GitHub repo for memory backup (optional, uses gh CLI if installed)
3. Workspace folder (where the agent creates files — default: ~/0agent-workspace)
4. Embedding provider (for semantic memory search)

After setup, the chat TUI opens automatically. No manual steps.

Usage

Interactive chat

0agent          # open chat (starts daemon if needed)
npx 0agent@latest

  0agent — anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6
  Type a task, or /help for commands.

  › make a website for my coffee shop and deploy it locally
  › build a REST API in Go with auth
  › research my competitor's pricing and draft a response strategy

Type while the agent works — messages queue automatically and run one after another.

How it learns

Every task updates a weighted knowledge graph stored in ~/.0agent/graph.db.

Edge weights:  0.0 ──── 0.5 ──── 1.0
               bad    neutral   good

After each task:
  success → weight += 0.1 × learning_rate
  failure → weight -= 0.1 × learning_rate
  decay   → weight → 0.5 over time (forgetting)

After ~50 interactions, plan selection measurably improves. The graph also stores:

• Discovered facts: URLs, ports, file paths, API endpoints (via memory_write tool)
• Conversation history (last 8 exchanges injected as context)
• Identity + personality per entity

---

Memory sync

0agent can back up its knowledge graph to a private GitHub repo:

# Set up during init, or add manually to ~/.0agent/config.yaml:
github_memory:
  enabled: true
  token: ghp_...
  owner: your-username
  repo: 0agent-memory

• Pulls on daemon start
• Pushes every 30 minutes if there are changes
• Final push on daemon shutdown
• The same repo doubles as a GitHub Codespace template for browser sessions
