Your AI agent is amazing. But every day, it starts over. Give it a memory, an identity, and a portable life — open source.
Project description
Intent OS
Your AI agent is amazing. But every day, it starts over.
Give it a memory. Give it a life.
pip install intentos
# What happened? What went wrong? What did it cost?
intent-os doctor
# Every step your agent took, every model it called.
intent-os inspect latest
# Who is this agent? What does it know? What has it learned?
intent-os agent get <id>
You get this:
[14:02:01] > START
[14:02:09] > MODEL CALL claude-sonnet-4 (2,451 tokens)
[14:02:14] > TOOL filesystem.write
[14:02:27] !! FAILED test_jwt_verify failed
Goal: refactor-auth-module
Agent: claude-code
Duration: 14.3s
Cost: $0.08
Tokens: 4,891
AI agents have amnesia.
Claude Code spends 30 minutes solving your problem — researching, trying approaches, failing, learning from mistakes. You close the session, and everything it learned is gone. Tomorrow, it's a blank slate. The same struggles. The same dead ends. The same lessons it already learned.
This is the real bottleneck in AI today. Not capability. Amnesia.
Intent OS gives your AI agent a memory that grows with every task. Every execution, every mistake, every success is captured, structured as experience, and applied to the next call. Day by day, your agent gets smarter.
That identity — role, traits, execution history, experience, capability proof — can be exported today and moved across any runtime. From Claude to GPT to Ollama. Your agent doesn't have to start over when you switch tools. It carries everything it learned.
How it works
# Start the flight recorder
intent-os proxy start
# Point your agent at it — zero code changes
export OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8377
export ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8377
# Use your agent normally. Every action is recorded.
claude "refactor the payment module"
# See what happened, what went wrong, and what it learned
intent-os doctor
intent-os inspect latest
intent-os cost
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or any agent that speaks OpenAI or Anthropic APIs. One environment variable. Nothing else. Everything runs locally. One SQLite file. No cloud. No account.
What you get
| Command | What it tells you |
|---|---|
intent-os doctor |
Health check: what happened, what went wrong, how to fix it |
intent-os inspect latest |
Full timeline: every model call, tool use, cost |
intent-os cost |
Spending: by agent, by model, daily trends |
intent-os proxy start |
Start recording — intercepts any OpenAI/Anthropic agent |
intent-os proxy doctor |
Proxy health: running status, traffic stats |
intent-os agent create --name "X" --persona "..." --traits "..." |
Create an agent with a role and personality |
intent-os agent get <id> |
Full person-card: role, traits, execution history, experience |
intent-os experience list --agent <id> |
What this agent learned from its past runs |
intent-os scan |
Security scan: dangerous tool calls in traces |
intent-os audit report --format html |
Compliance report: full audit trail |
Which of these have you felt?
- "It worked yesterday. Today it doesn't." — Same task, different session. The agent doesn't remember what it learned last time. No experience carries over.
- "I'm afraid to give it a big task." — The agent is capable, but the bigger the task, the more files it touches. You don't know what it changed.
- "Something went wrong. I have no idea what." — Agent ran for 30 minutes. Failed. No stack trace. No record of what happened.
- "Why is my API bill $300 this month?" — Which agent? Which task? Which model? You can't answer any of those questions.
Intent OS gives you the answer to all four — before you even ask.
For teams
When multiple people use multiple agents, "who did what" becomes a business question:
- Accountability —
intent-os cost --by agent— who's spending what, on which model - Governance —
intent-os security policy apply— define what agents can and can't do - Compliance —
intent-os audit report --format html— full execution record, any timeframe - Identity — every agent gets an ID and a profile, every execution links back to its owner
Why local-first?
| Instead of... | Intent OS is... |
|---|---|
| Cloud-only tracing | Local-first. Your data never leaves your machine. |
| Siloed per-platform logs | Universal. Works with any OpenAI/Anthropic agent. |
| Just logging | Structured traces. One execution → many API calls → one timeline. |
| Postgres + Redis + S3 | One SQLite file. No infrastructure needed. |
No API key to sign up. No dashboard to log into. Your agent's execution data is yours — it lives in ~/.intent-os/intent.db.
The bigger picture: an agent that grows with you
Intent OS is not just a tool. It is the first implementation of a portable execution contract for AI agents — the missing layer that lets an Agent be defined, executed, verified, and moved across any runtime.
The seven layers of Intent OS — Context, Identity, Execution, Verification, Governance, Interoperability, Experience — are the components of this contract. Together they answer the questions any organization must ask of an autonomous system: who was it, what was it supposed to do, what did it do, what evidence did it have, what did it learn, and who authorized it.
This is Agent Accountability infrastructure. The equivalent for autonomous AI of what audit trails are to finance and what version control is to software.
8 specs, all frozen. 26 event types. 6 adapters. One contract. Any runtime.
