Agentic OS (agentic-os) 🧠 — Multi-Agent Orchestration Platform

A locally-hosted operating system for AI agents — an open-source GitHub repository — that coordinates opencode, Hermes Agent, and Gemini CLI into a unified dashboard with persistent memory, cron scheduling, skill execution, cost analytics, and disaster recovery.

Why Agentic OS? Most agent tools work in isolation — a terminal for coding, a separate chat for research, another for memory. Agentic OS is the control plane that unifies them: one dashboard, one memory layer, one scheduler, one skill hub. Three agents, infinite capabilities.

🚀 Quick Start

Linux/macOS

git clone https://github.com/modimihir07/agentic-os.git
cd agentic-os
chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
./start.sh
# Open http://127.0.0.1:8080

Windows PowerShell

git clone https://github.com/modimihir07/agentic-os.git
cd agentic-os
.\install.ps1
.\start.ps1
# Open http://127.0.0.1:8080

---

📋 Prerequisites

Linux/macOS

Tool	Required?	Install
Python 3.10+	✅ Required	Install from your package manager or python.org. Verify with python3 --version.
Node.js 18+	⚠ For opencode and Gemini CLI	curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo bash - && sudo apt install -y nodejs
opencode	⚠ For code tasks	npm install -g @opencode/cli
Hermes Agent	⚠ For memory/scheduling	Follow the upstream Hermes Agent documentation. If native Windows support is unavailable, use WSL for Hermes.
Gemini CLI	⚠ For Google AI	npm install -g @google/gemini-cli

⚠ = Optional — the dashboard starts and core pages work without all agent CLIs installed. Agent-specific chat, routing, health, and skill execution features will show offline or warning status until the relevant CLI is installed and authenticated.

Windows

Tool	Required?	Install	Verify / Next Step
Python 3.10+	✅ Required	Install from python.org/downloads/windows and enable “Add python.exe to PATH” during setup.	python --version
Node.js 18+	⚠ For opencode and Gemini CLI	Install from nodejs.org.	node --version and npm --version
opencode	⚠ For code tasks	npm install -g @opencode/cli	Confirm the CLI is available in a new terminal session.
Gemini CLI	⚠ For Google AI	npm install -g @google/gemini-cli	Run gemini auth login and complete OAuth in the browser.
Hermes Agent	⚠ For memory/scheduling	Windows support must be verified separately if the upstream installer remains Bash-only.	Check the upstream Hermes Agent install docs before relying on native Windows support.

⚠ = Optional — the dashboard works with any subset of installed agents.

The PowerShell launchers resolve Python in this order: py -3.10, py -3, then python. For manual commands, prefer python -m pip install -r requirements.txt and python server.py --port 8080 so the same interpreter runs both dependency installation and the server.

PowerShell execution policy: if you use PowerShell scripts, allow local scripts for your user with Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned, or run a single installer invocation with powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\install.ps1.

🔧 Configuration

Hermes (OpenRouter)

# Set your OpenRouter API key
echo 'OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-v1-your-key-here' > ~/.hermes/.env

Gemini CLI (Google OAuth)

gemini auth login
# Complete OAuth in browser — tokens saved to ~/.gemini/oauth_creds.json

Dashboard Settings

Edit data/settings.json:

{
  "dashboard": { "port": 8080 },
  "theme": "dark",
  "agents": { "opencode": true, "hermes": true, "gemini": true }
}

🎮 Usage

AI Chat

Select an agent from the sidebar → type your message → get response.

Agent	Best for	Example
opencode	"Check system status", "Deploy to GKE"	Code + terminal automation
Hermes	"What did I work on recently?", "Schedule a daily backup"	Memory recall, scheduling
Gemini	"Research latest AI agent trends", "Analyze this image"	Web research, multi-modal

Skills

Browse 16 skills from Skills Hub → click Run → monitor eval scores over time.

Scheduler

Create cron jobs: heartbeat (5 min), memory consolidation (weekly), daily standup, DevOps audit.

Cost Analytics

Track spending per provider/model/agent. Free-tier alerts warn when nearing limits.

Disaster Recovery

Create and restore local snapshots of brain/, skills/, agents/, data/, registry/, standards/, and prompts/. User-specific data/settings.json is excluded from backups.

Unix/macOS/Linux

./backup.sh
./restore.sh <backup-file>

Windows PowerShell

.\backup.ps1
.\restore.ps1 <backup-file>

Run the restore command without a backup file to list available backups.

Kanban Board (v0.2.0)

Drag tasks across columns, filter by priority/category, click to view details. Block tasks when blocked, mark complete when done.

Goals (v0.2.0)

Create goals with categories and target dates. Progress tracked via +25% increments. Completed goals auto-sync to brain context.

Journal (v0.2.0)

Write daily entries with markdown support. Auto-saves after 2 seconds. Search across all entries from the dashboard.

Smart Router (v0.2.0)

Describe a task in plain English — the router analyzes keywords and suggests the best agent. Route manually or let AI decide.

Agent Health (v0.2.0)

Monitor online status of all 3 agents in real time with 5-second auto-refresh. Health checks are filesystem-based (no subprocess calls).

Learning Analytics (v0.2.0)

View evaluation scores for all 16 skills. Trends chart shows score progression over time. Top skills ranked by performance.

Session Replay (v0.2.0)

Browse opencode session logs by date and size. Click "Replay" to view all messages in a chat-like interface.
