crowe-agent-core

The Crowe Agent Kernel — one provider-agnostic, capability-gated agent loop that every Crowe surface mounts (foundry CLI, crowelm-dp, Cortex, cla, the Terminal). It replaces the sprawl of divergent per-provider loops with a single kernel + thin transport adapters.

The shape

Kernel.run(role, messages) -> async stream of normalized Events
        │
        ├─ TransportAdapter   (per-provider; the ONLY thing that varies)
        ├─ ToolRegistry       (federates Python/Go/MCP tools)
        ├─ HookChain          (pre_turn / pre_tool_use / post_tool_use / stop)
        │     └─ CapabilityGate   (CCCP guardedCall(); human/agent actor split)
        └─ Role               (roles/<name>.role.json — a clone is data)

• One loop, many transports. Providers implement TransportAdapter.stream() and nothing else. DeepParallel is an adapter (one turn = one cluster synthesis), not its own loop.
• Every dispatch is gated. Tool calls pass the capability choke point before running. The gate is a hook; add cost caps / human-confirm as more hooks.
• Agents are data. A role file selects prompt, backend, tool allowlist, and gate policy. A subagent is a kernel instance with a different role.

Status

Scaffold. The kernel loop, adapter contract, tool registry, hook/capability seam, and role loader are implemented and tested with a deterministic ScriptedAdapter. Real adapters (openai_compat, anthropic, deepparallel) and the CMP event mapping are the next phase — see the build sequence in the arch doc.
