sygen 1.0.0

AI assistant framework with multi-agent orchestration, background tasks, and persistent memory.

Sygen

AI assistant framework with multi-agent orchestration, background tasks, and persistent memory.

Telegram-first personal AI agent that runs CLI tools (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) and manages complex workflows autonomously.

Features

Core

• Multi-agent system — supervisor + sub-agents, each with own bot and workspace
• Background task delegation — offload long work to autonomous agents, keep chatting, get results back
• Persistent memory — modular memory system with Always Load / On Demand separation
• Named sessions — multiple isolated conversation contexts per chat
• Inter-agent communication — sync and async messaging between agents with shared knowledge base

Transports & Providers

• Telegram (primary) + Matrix support
• Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI — pluggable AI backends
• Streaming output — real-time response delivery with configurable buffering

MCP (Model Context Protocol)

• Native MCP client — connects to any MCP server, discovers tools, routes calls
• 3000+ integrations — GitHub, Google Drive, Slack, Docker, databases, and more
• Auto-lifecycle — starts servers on boot, health checks every 30s, auto-restart on crash
• Hot-reload — add/remove servers without restarting the bot
• /mcp command — list servers, check status, refresh tools from Telegram

Smart Model Routing

• Auto model selection — routes messages to the right model tier by complexity
• LLM classifier — uses a cheap model (Haiku/Flash/4o-mini) to classify each message as light/medium/heavy
• Per-provider tiers — Claude (Haiku/Sonnet/Opus), Codex (4o-mini/4o/o3), Gemini (Flash/Pro)
• User override — @opus or @haiku always takes priority over routing
• Optional — disabled by default, requires a separate API key for the classifier
• Zero overhead when off — no extra calls, no latency

Skill Marketplace (ClawHub)

• 13,000+ community skills — search and install from OpenClaw's ClawHub registry
• Security scanning — static analysis (20 suspicious patterns) + VirusTotal API before every install
• User always decides — full security report shown, install only on explicit confirmation
• Zero dependencies — no npm/OpenClaw required, pure HTTP API integration
• /skill command — search, install, list, remove from Telegram

Automation

• Cron scheduler — recurring tasks with timezone support
• Webhook server — HTTP endpoints that trigger agent actions
• Docker sandbox — optional secure execution for untrusted code

Built-in Tools (Defaults)

• Web search — Perplexity Sonar (primary) + DuckDuckGo (fallback, no API key needed)
• Perplexity deep search — sonar-pro for research-heavy queries
• Audio transcription — local whisper.cpp, no external APIs
• YouTube analysis — metadata, subtitles, frame extraction, audio transcription
• File converter — Markdown→PDF, DOCX→TXT, XLSX→CSV, HEIC→JPG
• Large file sender — local fileshare (auto-detect) with 0x0.st fallback
• Quick notes — structured idea capture template

UX

• Emoji status reactions — three modes:
  • off — no reactions
  • seen (default) — 👀 on receipt, ✅ on completion
  • detailed — 👀 → 🤔 thinking → ⚙️ tool use → 📦 compacting → ✅ done
• Configurable streaming — enable/disable intermediate message updates
• Technical footer — optional model, tokens, cost, duration display
• Inline buttons — quick-reply buttons in Telegram messages

Maintenance (Out of the Box)

Four maintenance crons ship enabled by default:

• Weekly cleanup — remove one-shot crons, orphaned sessions, old temp files (Sunday 10:00)
• Monthly memory cleanup — deduplicate and merge memory entries (15th, 10:00)
• Monthly memory review — deep audit for contradictions and staleness (1st, 10:00)
• Daily security audit — check tokens, file permissions, disk usage, bot health (08:00)

All crons inherit provider and model from user config — works with Claude, Gemini, or any supported backend.

Memory System

• Modular structure — separate files per topic (user, decisions, infrastructure, tools, crons)
• Always Load modules injected at session start (user profile, key decisions)
• On Demand modules loaded when relevant (infrastructure, tool configs)
• Auto-reflection — periodic memory review and cleanup

Quick Start

pip install -e .
sygen

On first run, Sygen creates a workspace at ~/.ductor/ with default tools, memory templates, and config.

Configuration

All settings in ~/.ductor/config/config.json. Key sections:

Section	What it controls
model	AI provider and model name
streaming	Real-time output (enabled, min/max chars, idle timeout)
scene	Emoji reactions (reaction_style), technical footer
timeouts	Response timeouts per mode
media	Image quality, audio transcription
mcp	MCP servers (enabled, server list)
routing	Smart model routing (enabled, API key, tiers)
skill_marketplace	ClawHub integration (enabled, VirusTotal API key)

MCP Setup

Sygen includes a native MCP client. To connect MCP servers, add to config.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "enabled": true,
    "servers": [
      {
        "name": "github",
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
        "env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_xxx" }
      },
      {
        "name": "filesystem",
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/home/you/projects"]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Per-agent MCP servers can be configured in agents.json under the mcp field.

Commands:

• /mcp list — show connected servers and their tools
• /mcp status — health check of each server
• /mcp refresh — re-discover tools from all servers

Server options:

Field	Default	Description
name	required	Unique server identifier
command	required	Executable (npx, python3, etc.)
args	[]	Command arguments
env	{}	Environment variables
transport	"stdio"	"stdio" for local, "sse" for remote
url	""	Server URL (SSE transport only)
enabled	true	Enable/disable without removing
auto_restart	true	Restart on crash

MCP config supports hot-reload — changes to config.json are picked up without restarting the bot.

Smart Model Routing

Automatically route messages to the optimal model based on complexity. Requires a separate API key for the classifier model.

{
  "routing": {
    "enabled": true,
    "api_key": "sk-ant-xxx",
    "classifier_provider": "anthropic",
    "classifier_model": "claude-haiku-4-5-20251001",
    "tiers": {
      "claude": { "light": "haiku", "medium": "sonnet", "heavy": "opus" },
      "codex":  { "light": "gpt-4o-mini", "medium": "gpt-4o", "heavy": "o3" },
      "gemini": { "light": "flash", "medium": "pro", "heavy": "pro" }
    }
  }
}

How it works:

1. User sends a message
2. Classifier (cheap API call, ~100ms) rates complexity: light / medium / heavy
3. Message is routed to the matching model for the active provider
4. Conversation context is preserved (same CLI session)

Override: @opus, @haiku, or /model always takes priority over routing.

Cost: $0.0001 per classification ($0.30/month at 100 messages/day).

Skill Marketplace Setup

Search and install community skills from ClawHub with built-in security scanning.

{
  "skill_marketplace": {
    "enabled": true,
    "virustotal_api_key": "your-vt-api-key"
  }
}

VirusTotal API key is optional (free at virustotal.com). Without it, only static analysis runs.

Commands:

• /skill search <query> — search ClawHub for skills
• /skill install <name> — download, scan, show report, confirm install
• /skill list — list installed skills
• /skill remove <name> — remove a skill

Install flow:

1. Skill is downloaded to a temp directory
2. Static analysis scans all scripts for suspicious patterns (eval, exec, network calls, sensitive paths)
3. VirusTotal checks file hashes against 70+ antivirus engines
4. Security report is shown with clear status indicators
5. User confirms or cancels — nothing is installed without approval

Provider-Neutral Design

Sygen does not hardcode any AI provider or model in defaults. All crons, tools, and templates use null for provider/model fields — the user's configured backend is used automatically. Switching from Claude to Gemini requires only a config change, no code edits.
