HomeAgent

中文: README.md

An Agent framework designed around separation of core domain and application domain. The kernel enforces a zero-IO policy — all external interaction (WebUI, QQ, CLI, file operations, web search, memos, etc.) is handled by the plugin layer; the kernel performs no direct IO operations.

Combined with a three-layer memory architecture (Context → Document → Graph), it maintains contextual coherence across long-running single-conversation sessions through tiered storage and automated archival.

homed (kernel, zero IO) ← PluginSDK → plugins (all IO capabilities)

Design Principles

Separation of Core Domain and Application Domain — The kernel's responsibilities are limited to LLM orchestration, memory management, and knowledge retrieval; all IO capabilities (message send/receive, file read/write, network requests, hardware interaction, etc.) are implemented by plugins. This separation defines domain boundaries at the Agent framework level, with distinct responsibility scopes for the kernel and plugins.

Three-Layer Memory Architecture — Manages information retention in long-running agents through a tiered storage strategy:

• Context Layer: Pretrained word embedding / TF-IDF fallback relevance-scored event window, protects last 10 entries, maintains topK context entries
• Document Layer: Temporary memory with automatic cold data sinking, also supports user-initiated submissions
• Graph Layer: SQLite graph database, persists entity relationships and semantic memory, supports distillation pipelines to extract triples from conversations
