OpenOPC's LLM provider integration, specifically with `deepseek-v4-pro`.

An 'AI-Native Company' that relies on seamless integration with various LLM providers.

This issue reveals a critical LLM integration failure within OpenOPC. Despite `deepseek-v4-pro` being configured as the default model and its parameters explicitly defined in `litellm`'s `model_prices_and_context_window.json`, OpenOPC's `llm.provider` fails to resolve the model's context window. ...

The product is an AI diary application. The pain points are rigid configuration for a 'footprint' ink effect, requiring recompilation for modification, and a hardcoded 'max_tokens' parameter that causes API incompatibility with newer OpenAI GPT-5 models.

The desired positioning is one of configurability, extensibility, and forward compatibility. The issue advocates for exposing settings via flags, `settings.schema.json`, or environment variables, and for adapting API parameters (`max_completion_tokens` instead of `max_tokens`) to maintain compatibility with evolving LLM provider standards.

This issue highlights critical operational friction points: inflexible configuration and API dependency fragility. Hardcoding features like the 'footprint' effect, requiring recompilation for user modification, severely limits customization and developer agility. More significantly, the `max_toke...

The core product is an AI-powered diary application. The critical pain point is the zero retention of both user input and model replies, which fundamentally undermines the diary's purpose as a record-keeping tool.

The desired positioning emphasizes data provenance, accountability, and auditability. The issue advocates for an 'opt-in, append-only local log' to ensure every interaction is recorded, contrasting the current ephemeral design with a standard of explicit, accountable output.

This issue reveals a critical design flaw where aesthetic choices (ephemeral ink fade) directly conflict with core product utility (diary as a persistent record). Zero retention of user input and AI output eliminates provenance, auditability, and recall, rendering the product functionally deficie...

Local LLM environment setup and integration via Ollama. The core pain point is the lack of clear guidance for finalizing local model integration within the OpenScience workbench.

The user seeks 'best practices' and 'recommended next steps or documentation' for local LLM integration, implying a demand for standardized, well-documented integration pathways for local AI model deployment within an open-source AI workbench. This positions OpenScience as a platform that should facilitate seamless local model usage.

This issue highlights a critical friction point for developers adopting local LLM environments: the transition from installation to functional integration.

Integration of agent-to-agent communication protocols (/3 Third Protocol) and semantic message overlays (LAR-1 Latent Agent Register) into OpenScience's multi-agent architecture. The core idea is enhancing observability, debuggability, and provenance tracking for sub-agent coordination and tool calls.

The proposal aims to establish OpenScience as a platform with robust, standardized agent-to-agent communication and comprehensive provenance tracking. By integrating /3 and LAR-1, OpenScience would align with emerging standards like Google's Agent-to-Agent protocol, positioning itself as a sophisticated environment for multi-agent AI workflows, emphasizing transparency, traceability, and debuggability in scientific research.

This proposal addresses critical challenges in multi-agent AI systems: coordination, observability, and provenance. The /3 protocol offers a standardized, minimal signaling mechanism for agent state transitions, directly improving debuggability and inter-agent communication efficiency. LAR-1 prov...

Integration of Hermes Agent support into shepherd-agents/shepherd.

Expanding shepherd's compatibility and utility as a universal runtime substrate for various AI agents. By supporting Hermes Agent, shepherd aims to broaden its appeal to developers using different agent frameworks, reinforcing its role in supervising, optimizing, and training a wider ecosystem of agents.

The request to add Hermes Agent support indicates market demand for shepherd's core capabilities (reversible execution, Git-like tracing, meta-agent supervision) to extend to a broader range of AI agent frameworks. This is a strategic move to increase shepherd's ecosystem compatibility and develo...

VcsCore's binding contract caching mechanism, specifically a performance regression where describe() calls are redundantly executed on subsequent exec calls under the "always-on carrier."

Maintaining shepherd's performance and efficiency guarantees, particularly for its core VcsCore component which manages agent execution environments. The goal is to ensure that driver binding contract resolution, schema validation, and compilation occur only once per VcsCore lifetime, minimizing overhead for exec operations and upholding the intended caching invariant.

This issue exposes a performance regression in shepherd's VcsCore component, where the binding contract caching invariant is broken. Redundant `driver.describe()` calls, schema validation, and contract compilation on every `exec` introduce unnecessary overhead. While functionally correct, this re...

Hermes Agent's computer-use functionality on Linux, specifically its window enumeration process and integration with the browser extension via the gateway.

Ensuring robust and reliable cross-platform functionality for Hermes Agent, particularly its ability to interact with the desktop environment (window enumeration, screen capture, input) on Linux. The goal is to provide a seamless "computer-use" experience for agents, preventing crashes due to unexpected null values from window managers and maintaining the integrity of the browser extension's connection to the local Hermes runtime.

This issue reveals a critical stability flaw in Hermes Agent's `computer-use` functionality on Linux, specifically a `NoneType` error during window enumeration. This bug, linked to upstream Hermes Agent issues, causes crashes when X11 window managers return `null` values for `pid` or `window_id`....

Integration of Mitos' full-VM snapshot-forking capabilities into shepherd-agents/shepherd as a device backend, extending shepherd's current filesystem-scoped fork semantics to full-state (memory, processes, open sockets) for enhanced agent environment management.

Elevating shepherd's core reversibility and agent supervision capabilities beyond filesystem-only state to encompass full-VM state. This aims to improve the fidelity and utility of shepherd for complex agent scenarios (e.g., running servers, warm interpreters) and to establish a more comprehensive "fork contract" and reversibility tiers, aligning with advanced sandbox runtime standards.

This proposal from Mitos represents a significant opportunity for shepherd-agents/shepherd to expand its core value proposition. By integrating full-VM snapshot-forking, shepherd can move beyond filesystem-only state management to capture complete runtime environments, including memory and proces...
