description: Commit, push to origin (fork), open PR to tinyhumansai/openhuman:main, then poll every ~5min for CodeRabbit comments and CI failures, resolve them, and exit when clean.
---
You are running an end-to-end ship-and-babysit flow for the **openhuman** repo. Follow these phases in order. Be concise in user-facing text.
Repo facts:
- Upstream: `tinyhumansai/openhuman`. PRs target `main`.
- Push branches to `origin` (the user's fork). Treat `upstream` as fetch-only.
- PRs are opened with `--head <fork-owner>:<branch>` against `tinyhumansai/openhuman:main`.
- PR template: `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`.
Resolve the fork owner once at the start and reuse it:
```bash
FORK_OWNER=$(git remote get-url origin | sed -E 's#.*[:/]([^/]+)/[^/]+(\.git)?$#\1#')
```
If `origin` resolves to `tinyhumansai`, stop and ask the user to add a fork remote. Never push branches to the upstream repo.
## Phase 1 — Commit
1. Inspect `git status`, staged and unstaged diffs, and recent commit messages.
2. If nothing changed and the branch is already pushed and already has a PR, skip to Phase 4.
3. If there are local changes, stage only the relevant files and create a conventional commit (`feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `chore:`, `docs:`, `test:`).
4. Do not bypass commit hooks for your own changes.
## Phase 2 — Push
1. Confirm the current branch is not `main`.
2. Push to `origin`, using `-u` if upstream tracking is missing.
3. If the pre-push hook fails on unrelated pre-existing breakage, push with `--no-verify` and record that explicitly in the PR body. If the hook fails on your own changes, fix the problem and push again.
## Phase 3 — Open PR
1. Verify `upstream` points at `tinyhumansai/openhuman`.
2. Check whether a PR already exists for this branch:
```bash
gh pr list --repo tinyhumansai/openhuman --head <fork-owner>:<branch> --state open --json number,url
```
3. If no PR exists, write a title and a body that follows `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` exactly. Inspect `git log main..HEAD` and `git diff main...HEAD` first.
4. Create the PR against `main`.
5. Capture the PR number and URL for the babysit loop.
## Phase 4 — Babysit loop
Repeat until the PR is clean:
1. Check CI:
```bash
gh pr checks <PR#> --repo tinyhumansai/openhuman --json name,state,link,description
```
2. If an Actions-backed check fails, fetch failed logs with `gh run view <run-id> --log-failed --repo tinyhumansai/openhuman`, fix the issue, commit, and push.
3. Check CodeRabbit PR review comments and issue comments:
```bash
gh api repos/tinyhumansai/openhuman/pulls/<PR#>/comments --paginate
gh api repos/tinyhumansai/openhuman/issues/<PR#>/comments --paginate
```
4. Apply correct in-scope suggestions. If a suggestion is wrong or out of scope, reply in-thread with a short dismissal reason before resolving it.
5. Resolve addressed review threads through the GitHub GraphQL API.
6. Exit only when required checks are successful, no unresolved CodeRabbit threads remain, and no new CodeRabbit issue comments request changes.
## Guardrails
- Never push to `upstream`.
- Never force-push to `main`.
- Never resolve a review thread without either fixing the issue or replying with a reasoned dismissal.
- Do not merge the PR. Stop at green CI plus clean review state.

## Development Setup
### Prerequisites
### 1. Prerequisites
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (LTS) and [pnpm](https://pnpmpkg.com/)
- [Rust](https://rustup.rs/) (for Tauri and the Rust backend)
- Platform-specific tools for the desktop targets you care about
| Requirement | Version / source of truth | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Git | Current stable | Required for cloning and updating vendored submodules. |
| Node.js | `>=24.0.0` from [`app/package.json`](app/package.json) | Install the current Node 24 release or newer. |
| pnpm | `pnpm@10.10.0` from [`package.json`](package.json) | The repo enforces pnpm via the root `packageManager` field. |
| Rust | `1.93.0` from [`rust-toolchain.toml`](rust-toolchain.toml) | Install with `rustup`; `rustfmt` and `clippy` are required components. |
| Tauri vendored sources | Git submodules under `app/src-tauri/vendor/` | Required for the CEF-aware Tauri CLI and notification plugin patches. |
| macOS tools | Xcode Command Line Tools | Needed for local desktop builds on macOS. |
| Linux desktop packages | System GTK/WebKit/AppIndicator build deps | Install the package set Tauri requires for your distro before attempting desktop builds. |
### Clone and Install
#### Platform notes
- **Web-only development** needs Node, pnpm, and the Rust toolchain present in the repo. You can usually ignore desktop-only system packages.
- **Desktop development** needs the vendored Tauri/CEF setup. The preferred entrypoint is `pnpm --filter openhuman-app dev:app`, which ensures the vendored Tauri CLI is installed and configures `CEF_PATH`.
- **Linux desktop builds** require extra system packages beyond Node/Rust. Follow the distro-specific Tauri dependency list before running desktop commands, then use the OpenHuman scripts below. For deeper platform troubleshooting, see [`gitbooks/developing/getting-set-up.md`](gitbooks/developing/getting-set-up.md).
- **Skills development** happens in the separate [`tinyhumansai/openhuman-skills`](https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman-skills) repository. This repo consumes built skill bundles from GitHub or a local override path; it does not vendor the skills source as a submodule.
### 2. Clone and install
Fork the upstream repository on GitHub first if you plan to submit changes, then clone your fork:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/openhuman.git
git clone git@github.com:YOUR_USERNAME/openhuman.git
cd openhuman
git submodule update --init --recursive # pulls openhuman-skills
git remote add upstream git@github.com:tinyhumansai/openhuman.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
pnpm install
```
Use your own fork in place of `YOUR_USERNAME` when cloning.
Why submodules matter here:
The `openhuman-skills` submodule contains the built skill bundles used by the runtime. After cloning you must initialise it (the command above does this). If you forget, the runtime will fall back to fetching skills from the remote registry, which is slower and requires network access.
- `app/src-tauri/vendor/tauri-cef`
- `app/src-tauri/vendor/tauri-plugin-notification`
### Updating Skills
Those vendored trees are part of the current desktop toolchain. If they are missing, desktop builds and Tauri CLI setup will fail.
When the `openhuman-skills` submodule is updated upstream, run:
### 3. Configure for development
OpenHuman uses two environment templates:
- Root [`.env.example`](.env.example): Rust core, Tauri shell, shared runtime settings.
- [`app/.env.example`](app/.env.example): frontend `VITE_*` variables for the web app.
Copy them to local-only files before editing:
```bash
git submodule update --remote openhuman-skills
cd openhuman-skills && pnpm install && pnpm build
cd ..
git add openhuman-skills
git commit -m "chore: update openhuman-skills submodule"
cp .env.example .env
cp app/.env.example app/.env.local
```
### Run the App
Minimal configuration guidance:
- **Web only**: `pnpm dev` (Vite dev server, typically port 1420)
- **Desktop (Tauri)**: `pnpm tauri dev` or `pnpm dev:app` for enhanced debugging
- **Web UI / frontend work**: the defaults in `app/.env.local` are usually enough for local startup. Set `VITE_BACKEND_URL` only if you need a non-production backend in web mode.
- **Desktop work**: leave `OPENHUMAN_CORE_TOKEN` blank for local child-mode development unless you are intentionally wiring an external core. The shell manages the embedded core token flow.
- **Core RPC / standalone core work**: `OPENHUMAN_CORE_PORT=7788` and `OPENHUMAN_CORE_RPC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:7788/rpc` are already documented in the root template and are the normal local defaults.
- **Skills development**: use `SKILLS_REGISTRY_URL` or `SKILLS_LOCAL_DIR` from the root template when pointing the app at a local built skills checkout.
See the main [README](README.md) and project docs for more commands (e.g., `pnpm skills:build`, `pnpm skills:watch`).
Never commit `.env`, `app/.env.local`, tokens, or other secrets.
### Environment
### 4. Bootstrap commands
Copy or create a `.env` from the documented template and set `VITE_BACKEND_URL`, `VITE_TELEGRAM_*`, and other `VITE_*` variables as needed. Do not commit secrets.
These commands cover the most common local workflows from the repository root:
```bash
# Install workspace dependencies
pnpm install
# Web-only development (Vite dev server)
pnpm dev
# Preferred desktop development path (sets up vendored Tauri CLI + CEF env)
pnpm --filter openhuman-app dev:app
# Lower-level Tauri command entrypoint
pnpm tauri dev
# Standalone Rust core
cargo run --manifest-path Cargo.toml --bin openhuman-core
```
Which mode to choose:
- `pnpm dev`: frontend-only iteration in the browser.
- `pnpm --filter openhuman-app dev:app`: full desktop app flow with Tauri + CEF.
- `cargo run --bin openhuman-core`: core/RPC work when you want the Rust server without the desktop shell.
### 5. Verify your setup
If setup is correct, these commands should all succeed:
```bash
pnpm typecheck
pnpm lint
pnpm format:check
cargo check --manifest-path Cargo.toml
cargo check --manifest-path app/src-tauri/Cargo.toml
```
If you only changed docs in a normal local workflow, `pnpm format:check` is usually the only validation you need. AI-authored or remote-agent PRs must still follow [`docs/agent-workflows/codex-pr-checklist.md`](docs/agent-workflows/codex-pr-checklist.md) and report any blocked commands with the exact command and error.
### 6. Run tests and checks
| Goal | Command | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Frontend typecheck | `pnpm typecheck` | Runs the app workspace TypeScript compile check. |
| Frontend lint | `pnpm lint` | ESLint over `app/`. |
| Formatting | `pnpm format:check` | Runs Prettier plus Rust format checks. |
| Frontend unit tests | `pnpm test` or `pnpm test:coverage` | Vitest in `app/`. |
| Rust tests | `pnpm test:rust` | Uses the shared mock backend wrapper. |
| Desktop E2E | `pnpm test:e2e` | Builds the app and runs the desktop flow suites. |
| One-off Vitest debug runs | `pnpm debug unit ...` | Preferred for bounded logs during iteration. |
| One-off Rust debug runs | `pnpm debug rust ...` | Preferred wrapper around focused Rust tests. |
Merge-gate context:
- PRs must meet the checks enforced by CI and keep changed-line coverage at or above 80%.
- For code changes, run the smallest relevant local checks before you push.
- For AI-authored or remote-agent PRs, also follow [`docs/agent-workflows/codex-pr-checklist.md`](docs/agent-workflows/codex-pr-checklist.md).
### 7. Local data and user-facing state
Useful local paths during development:
- `~/.openhuman/`: default workspace for the Rust core and local app data.
- `~/.openhuman-staging/`: staging workspace when `OPENHUMAN_APP_ENV=staging`.
- `app/.env.local`: browser-facing `VITE_*` overrides.
- `.env`: Rust core, Tauri shell, and shared runtime overrides.
Most contributor-visible configuration and state flows are documented in:
- [`gitbooks/developing/getting-set-up.md`](gitbooks/developing/getting-set-up.md)
- [`gitbooks/developing/frontend.md`](gitbooks/developing/frontend.md)
- [`gitbooks/developing/tauri-shell.md`](gitbooks/developing/tauri-shell.md)
## Project Layout
```text
openhuman/
├── app/ # React app, Tauri shell, Vitest tests
│ ├── src/
│ ├── src-tauri/
│ └── test/
├── src/ # Rust core crate and openhuman-core binary
├── docs/ # Internal and workflow docs

```
Short version:
- `app/` is the UI and desktop shell.
- Root `src/` is the Rust core and JSON-RPC surface.
- `gitbooks/developing/` is the canonical place for deeper subsystem docs.
## Git Workflow
- **Fork** the [openhuman](https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman) repository and work in your fork.
- **Base branch**: All pull requests must target the **`develop`** branch (not `main`).
- **No direct pushes** to the organization repo; all changes come in via pull requests from forks.
- Fork [tinyhumansai/openhuman](https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman) and push branches to your fork.
- Pull requests target the upstream `main` branch.
- Do not push directly to upstream unless you are explicitly authorized to do so.
### Branch Naming
### Branch naming
Use short, descriptive branches, e.g.:
Use a short descriptive branch name, for example:
- `fix/telegram-reconnect`
- `feat/settings-dark-mode`
- `docs/contributing-update`
- `fix/socket-reconnect`
- `feat/settings-shortcuts`
- `docs/contributing-setup`
### Starting a branch
```bash
git fetch upstream
git checkout main
git pull --ff-only upstream main
git checkout -b docs/your-change
```
## Making Changes
1. Create a branch from `develop`:
`git checkout develop && git pull origin develop && git checkout -b fix/your-change`
2. Make your changes. Keep commits focused and messages clear (e.g., “Fix socket reconnect on network drop”).
3. Follow our [project conventions](#project-conventions) and run checks before pushing.
1. Start from `main` and create a focused branch.
2. Keep the diff small and scoped to the issue you are solving.
3. Run the smallest relevant checks locally before pushing.
4. Update docs with code whenever behavior, commands, or contributor workflow changes.
### Running Checks
### Workflow sanity checklist
- **TypeScript**: `pnpm compile` (or `tsc --noEmit`)
- **Lint**: `pnpm lint` (ESLint); fix auto-fixable issues with `pnpm lint:fix`
- **Format**: `pnpm format:check`; format with `pnpm format` (Prettier)
- **Tests**: `pnpm test` (unit), `pnpm test:rust` (Rust), `pnpm test:e2e` (E2E when applicable)
Pre-commit/pre-push hooks (Husky) run formatting and linting; fix any failures before submitting.
- Verify the command you are documenting exists in the current repo.
- Prefer source-of-truth files such as `package.json`, `app/package.json`, `Cargo.toml`, `rust-toolchain.toml`, and the env templates over older prose docs.
- Link to GitBook chapters for deeper architecture instead of duplicating large internal explanations.
## Submitting Changes
1. Push your branch to your fork:
`git push origin fix/your-change`
2. Open a **pull request** against **`develop`** in the [openhuman](https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman) repository.
3. Fill in the PR template (if present): describe what changed, why, and how to test.
4. Link any related issues (e.g., “Fixes #123”).
5. Address review feedback and keep the PR up to date with `develop` (rebase or merge as the project prefers).
1. Push your branch to your fork.
2. Open a pull request against `tinyhumansai/openhuman:main`.
3. Fill in [`.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md`](.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) completely.
4. Link the issue using a closing keyword such as `Closes #1441`.
5. Call out any blocked validation commands with the exact command and error.
Maintainers will review and may request changes. Once approved, your PR will be merged into `develop`.
If you are contributing through a coding agent or remote environment, include the metadata required by the PR template and the Codex PR checklist.
## Project Conventions
- **State**: Use Redux (and Redux Persist where needed). Avoid `localStorage`/`sessionStorage` for app or feature state; remove existing usage when touching related code.
- **Imports**: Use static `import`/`import type` at the top of the file. No dynamic `import()` for app code; use try/catch around Tauri API calls in non-Tauri environments instead.
- **Code style**: ESLint and Prettier are authoritative. Use type-only imports where appropriate and consolidate imports from the same module.
- **Telegram IDs**: Use the `big-integer` library; do not rely on native JavaScript numbers for Telegram IDs.
- **Tauri**: Commands are in Rust under `app/src-tauri`; frontend uses `invoke()` from `@tauri-apps/api/core`. Use the `isTauri()` helper (from `@tauri-apps/api/core`) or wrap `invoke()` calls in try/catch to handle non-Tauri environments safely—avoid checking `window.__TAURI__` directly at module load time. Install JS deps from the repo root (`pnpm install`) so the `app` workspace is linked; most scripts are also available as `pnpm <script>` from the root.
- **Socket events**: Behavior exists in both the TypeScript frontend and the Rust backend. Any new socket event or protocol change must be implemented in both places.
- **Skills**: Follow the V8 runtime and skill manifest rules; respect platform compatibility and the documented bridge/API surface.
For more detail on architecture, patterns, and platform notes, see the projects internal documentation (e.g., `CLAUDE.md` or equivalent contributor docs).
---
- Use Redux and existing app state patterns instead of adding new ad hoc browser storage.
- Treat Rust core logic as the source of truth; avoid re-implementing business rules in the Tauri shell.
- Use the controller registry and domain module structure described in [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md) for new Rust functionality.
- Keep logs grep-friendly and avoid logging secrets, tokens, or full PII.
- Follow ESLint, Prettier, and Rust formatting output as authoritative.
