Wolli

Create agents that grow around a purpose<br>Each agent remembers across sessions, runs on schedules, reacts to events, and extends itself over time.<br>$npm i -g wolli

Give each agent a purpose<br>A wolli agent is born empty. Tell it what it's for and it writes who it is into its SOUL.md.<br>scout<br>~/.wolli/agents/scout

Watch it extend itself<br>Scout needs issues delivered the moment they open, so it writes its own GitHub integration, the workflow that wakes it, and the tool to talk back.<br>scout<br>~/.wolli/agents/scout

It wakes up on events<br>An issue opens and the workflow wakes scout in a fresh session. It triages, flags what matters, and reports back.<br>scout<br>~/.wolli/agents/scout

MEMORY.md<br>USER.md

Everything an agent needs to grow<br>Memory, autonomy, sandboxing, and scheduling are built into every agent. Focus on its purpose.

Purpose-built

The agent works out its purpose with you in its first conversation and writes it as the first line of its SOUL.md.

Self-extending

The agent authors and installs its own skills, tools, and integrations. It grows more capable at its job instead of staying a fixed tool.

Persistent

Sessions are an append-only JSONL tree, the agent's lifetime memory. Nothing is rewritten; the latest leaf resumes by default.

Curated memory

SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, and USER.md are frozen into the system prompt each session, maintained by the agent itself.

Sandboxed

Runs sandboxed by default: Apple Seatbelt, bubblewrap, or Docker. Your real machine is an approval-gated escalation away.

Any model

Multi-provider via OAuth login: Anthropic, OpenAI, and others.
