* feat(agent): pure orchestrator pattern with per-skill delegation tools (#478) Refactors the main agent from a direct tool-calling model to a pure orchestrator that delegates all work through dynamically generated tools. Architecture changes: - Orchestrator only sees generated tools (notion, gmail, research, run_code, review_code, plan, spawn_subagent) — skill tools are architecturally unreachable from the main agent - Each installed skill auto-generates a delegation tool at build time (SkillDelegationTool) that routes to skills_agent with the correct skill_filter - Static archetype tools (research, run_code, etc.) delegate to their respective sub-agents - visible_tool_specs filters the function-calling schema sent to the provider, enforcing the orchestrator boundary at the API level Prompt changes: - Rewrote AGENTS.md as a lean orchestrator prompt — no more routing tables or agent_id instructions - Orchestrator skips TOOLS.md, MEMORY.md, HEARTBEAT.md (~6k tokens saved per turn) — subagents get tool specs from the registry - Workspace .md files auto-sync via builtin-hash mechanism so prompt updates ship automatically to existing installs Bug fixes: - ModelSpec::Hint now resolves to {hint}-v1 (e.g. agentic-v1) instead of hint:agentic which the backend rejected - validate_skill_filter now uses skill_id from the engine tuple instead of splitting on __ in the raw tool name (which always failed) - Memory context forwarded to subagents via ParentExecutionContext Observability: - Added [agent] tagged logs for tool responses, agent state transitions, and delegation decisions throughout turn.rs See docs/agent-prompt-architecture.excalidraw for the visual diagram.

What is OpenHuman?
OpenHuman is an open-source agentic assistant that is designed to integrate with you in your daily life. Here's what makes OpenHuman special:
-
Simple, UI-first — A clean desktop experience and short onboarding paths so you can go from install to a working agent in a few clicks, without a config-first setup. You don't need a terminal to run OpenHuman.
-
One subscription, many providers — You only need one account to get access to many agentic APIs (AI Models, Search, Webhooks/Tunnels and other 3rd party APIs etc..), simplifying the experience to get a powerful agent going.
-
Rich Skills — Plug into Gmail, Slack, Notion, and the rest of your stack via rich, feature-backed skills. Connections are typically one click through setup wizards instead of wiring APIs by hand. Workflow data is kept on device, encrypted locally, and treated as yours: encryption and sensitive context stay on your machine. Webhooks give instant feedback into the agent when external systems or skills emit events, so the loop stays tight without constant polling.
-
Local knowledge base — Built from your data and your activity. How you work across tools, sessions, and connected services—so the agent gets rich, workflow-aware context, not a one-off chat transcript. Everything is stored on your machine and compounding over time without becoming a cloud dossier. Channels, skills and ongoing conversations feed the same loop so day-to-day context does not reset every session.
-
Local AI model — The Rust core exposes local AI paths (and the desktop bundle can ship local/bundled runners where applicable) for the workloads above—vision snippets, speech helpers, summarization, tooling—so sensitive steps can stay off the cloud when you choose.
-
Deep desktop integrations — OpenHuman is a native desktop assistant, not a web-only chat: memory-aware keyboard autocomplete, voice (STT listening and TTS replies), screen intelligence that understands what is on screen and feeds your local context, plus windowing and OS-level permissions—so the agent meets you on the machine, not trapped in a browser tab.

OpenHuman vs other agents
High-level comparison (products evolve—verify against each vendor). OpenHuman is built to minimize vendor sprawl, keep workflow knowledge on-device, and ship deep desktop features—not only chat.
