The Agent class uses 13 mixins to provide distinct capabilities without deep inheritance hierarchies. Each mixin focuses on a specific concern (orchestration, tools, context, memory, etc.), enabling modular testing and feature toggling.
Agent execution feeds events through registered callbacks (status, thinking, tool_output, approval) that route to UI layers without tight coupling. Enables real-time monitoring and multi-client synchronization.
All I/O operations use asyncio with non-blocking patterns. Long-running operations (LLM calls, file I/O, network requests) run in thread pools to prevent event loop blocking.
The system tracks token consumption at multiple levels (message, turn, session) and implements intelligent context compaction, chunking, and message selection to stay within LLM context windows.
Working memory (in-turn), semantic memory (session-scoped), and deep memory (long-term archive) provide different retrieval patterns optimized for recency, relevance, and scale.
Input/output guards with configurable levels (stop_suspicious, ask_for_approval) and tool execution approval callbacks enable safe autonomous operation with human oversight.
Automatic detection of large-scale list-processing tasks triggers a specialized micro-loop that processes items one-at-a-time with constant context, preventing context window overflow.
SessionOrchestrator decomposes complex requests into DAGs, executes tasks in parallel with dependency constraints, and manages timeout/retry policies for resilient multi-step workflows.
FileRegistry maps logical paths to physical locations, enabling downstream tasks to discover and reference upstream artifacts without knowledge of session IDs or directory structures.
Environment variables → .env file → config.yaml (home) → config.yaml (local) → hardcoded defaults provide flexible configuration with security-sensitive overrides.
PinchTab uses accessibility trees (~800 tokens) instead of screenshots (~2K+ tokens), achieving 2-3x token efficiency for web automation tasks.
Automatically detects context overflow and splits large documents into chunks, processes independently, and combines results via LLM synthesis.
Supports both fast "loop" mode (direct tool execution) and "contracts" mode (planner + critic validation) for different task complexity levels.
Automatically detects large-scale tasks and switches to per-item processing to prevent context explosion, with automatic list extraction after content fetch.
Unified interface supporting Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI with provider-specific quirks handled transparently.
Combines full-text search (BM25) with vector embeddings and temporal decay scoring for intelligent context retrieval across multiple timescales.
Every failure point has a fallback (chunk LLM failure → skip chunk; combine overflow → concatenate; vision failure → return screenshot path).
Direct HTTP client for local models. Enables offline operation with open-source LLMs.
Standard API + ChatGPT Responses API with SSE streaming for real-time responses.
Full API support with prompt caching for cost-efficient long-context processing.
