HologramAgent

中文: README.md

Self-hosted agent kernel. Connects to QQ, a web UI, your shell, files, and a browser. Runs for months without a restart and keeps what it learned.

make build build-cli
./build/homed -data /tmp/ha
./build/waiter

API keys go in the web UI at http://localhost:8080. Requires Linux.

What it does

• Channels: web UI, CLI, QQ groups and DMs, A2A, ACP in your IDE
• Tools: files, shell, code, browser (real Chrome), calendar, notes, RSS, music
• Modalities: images, video, voice, screenshots, web pages
• Memory: three layers (context → document → graph) plus a knowledge base, recalled by scene
• Scheduling: parallel sub-agents, interrupt preemption, resumable state

28 built-in plugins, 89 model-callable tools. External plugins live one per repo under github.com/HologramAgent.

Architecture

homed  (kernel: LLM orchestration, memory, retrieval)
   ↑ PluginSDK
plugins  (all IO: web UI, QQ, CLI, files, network)

The kernel makes no IO calls. Plugins run as separate processes and talk to it over three channels: JSON-RPC on stdio for control, shared memory for bulk data, an event ring for notifications. A plugin panic doesn't take the kernel down.

Memory sinks over time. Recent turns stay in context, older ones become documents, oldest get distilled into graph triples.

Memory is partitioned by scene rather than by session. A scene is made of channel, conversation partner, tools used, and time of day, so returning to a topic recalls what was concluded last time.

Downloads

Releases ship three variants:

Variant	Contents	For
full	homed + waiter + desktop GUI + systemd unit	Single-machine, everything
server	homed + waiter + systemd unit	Servers (no desktop environment)
client	waiter + desktop GUI	Connecting to a remote HologramAgent

• Linux: .deb (amd64/arm64), .rpm (x86_64), .tar.gz
• Windows: HologramAgent_v1.2.0_{Full,Server,Client}_win64.exe (NSIS installer, includes the AGPL license page). Since v1.2.0 homed no longer supports native Windows (it relies on fd inheritance and in-segment offset dereferencing), so the installer bootstraps WSL2 and installs the Linux packages inside the distribution the same way a Linux host would.
• Portable: homeagent-bin-<os>_<arch>.tar.gz (homed/waiter/initconfig)
• Verification: SHA256SUMS

The macOS homed requires a native macOS build (CGO + sqlite3), so release packages ship only waiter/initconfig.

Build

make build build-cli    # Build daemon + CLI
make test               # go test ./...
make install            # Install to system

Dependencies: Go 1.25+, CGo (go-sqlite3), Linux.

homed requires Linux (it relies on fd inheritance and intra-segment offset dereferencing of the shared memory region; see cmd/homed/platform_windows.go). On Windows only waiter.exe is built and homed runs under WSL2 (see Downloads). macOS can build waiter/initconfig; homed must be built on native macOS.

License

This project is released under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3 (AGPL-3.0-only) — see LICENSE.

This is the strongest copyleft in the GPL family: besides shipping the complete corresponding source when you distribute the software, you must also offer the source to users who interact with it over a network (§13, Remote Network Interaction). Anyone running a modified HologramAgent as a network service therefore has to make the modified source available to that service's users.

Plugins are statically linked against this project through the public hologramagentsdk (the SDK source ends up inside the plugin binary), but that repository is released under MIT. That is a permissive license, so code received under it does not inherit this project's AGPL. External plugins are therefore not derivative works of this project: authors pick their own license (closed-source, commercial or private included), with no same-license obligation and no §13 network clause. The safety and vitality of the third-party plugin ecosystem rest on this.

The boundary is clean: AGPL covers the kernel and the bundled plugins (homed, internal/, the 13 built-in plugins under internal/plugins/); MIT covers the public SDK (sdk/, whose go.mod has zero external dependencies and imports only the Go standard library, never any kernel code). Process isolation is beside the point here. What decides the license is the linked SDK code itself, and that code is MIT.
