-## 12. Design Goals
+## 12. BotOS — Multi-Platform Bot Orchestration
+
+### 12.1 Architecture
+
+BotOS is the multi-platform bot orchestration layer for PraisonAI. It follows the same protocol-driven, agent-centric philosophy as the rest of the SDK.
+
+```
+┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│                    BotOS                          │
+│   Multi-platform orchestrator (runs all bots)    │
+├──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬─────────────────┤
+│ Bot      │ Bot      │ Bot      │ Bot             │
+│ telegram │ discord  │ slack    │ custom_platform │
+├──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴─────────────────┤
+│       Agent / AgentTeam / AgentFlow              │
+│              (AI brain)                           │
+└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### 12.2 Layer Separation
+
+| Layer | Package | Purpose |
+|-------|---------|---------|
+| `BotOSProtocol` | `praisonaiagents` (Core SDK) | Interface contract — lightweight |
+| `BotOSConfig` | `praisonaiagents` (Core SDK) | Configuration dataclass |
+| `Bot` | `praisonai` (Wrapper) | Single-platform bot wrapper |
+| `BotOS` | `praisonai` (Wrapper) | Multi-platform orchestrator |
+| `_registry` | `praisonai` (Wrapper) | Platform adapter registry |
+
+### 12.3 Usage Patterns
+
+```python
+# === Level 1: Single bot, 3 lines ===
+from praisonai.bots import Bot
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+bot = Bot("telegram", agent=Agent(name="assistant", instructions="Be helpful"))
+bot.run()
+
+# === Level 2: Multi-platform, shared agent ===
+from praisonai.bots import BotOS
+from praisonaiagents import Agent
+
+agent = Agent(name="assistant", instructions="Be helpful")
+botos = BotOS(agent=agent, platforms=["telegram", "discord"])
+botos.run()
+
+# === Level 3: AgentTeam in BotOS ===
+from praisonai.bots import BotOS, Bot
+from praisonaiagents import Agent, AgentTeam, Task
+
+researcher = Agent(name="researcher", instructions="Research topics")
+writer = Agent(name="writer", instructions="Write content")
+t1 = Task(name="research", description="Research AI", agent=researcher)
+t2 = Task(name="write", description="Write about AI", agent=writer)
+team = AgentTeam(agents=[researcher, writer], tasks=[t1, t2])
+
+botos = BotOS(bots=[Bot("telegram", agent=team)])
+botos.run()
+
+# === Level 4: YAML config ===
+botos = BotOS.from_config("botos.yaml")
+botos.run()
+
+# === Level 5: Custom platform extension ===
+from praisonai.bots._registry import register_platform
+
+class MyCustomBot:
+    def __init__(self, **kwargs): ...
+    async def start(self): ...
+    async def stop(self): ...
+
+register_platform("mychat", MyCustomBot)
+bot = Bot("mychat", agent=agent, token="my-token")
+bot.run()
+```
+
+### 12.4 Token Resolution
+
+Tokens are resolved in order: `explicit token=` > env var > empty string.
+
+| Platform | Env Var |
+|----------|---------|
+| Telegram | `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` |
+| Discord | `DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN` |
+| Slack | `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN` + `SLACK_APP_TOKEN` |
+| WhatsApp | `WHATSAPP_ACCESS_TOKEN` + `WHATSAPP_PHONE_NUMBER_ID` |
+| Custom | `{PLATFORM}_BOT_TOKEN` |
+
+### 12.5 File Locations
+
+| What | Where |
+|------|-------|
+| BotOSProtocol | `praisonaiagents/bots/protocols.py` |
+| BotOSConfig | `praisonaiagents/bots/config.py` |
+| Bot class | `praisonai/bots/bot.py` |
+| BotOS class | `praisonai/bots/botos.py` |
+| Platform registry | `praisonai/bots/_registry.py` |
+| Unit tests | `tests/unit/test_botos_protocol.py` |
+| Integration tests | `tests/unit/test_botos_integration.py` |
+
+### 12.6 Extending Platforms
+
+Third-party platforms can be registered at runtime:
+
+```python
+from praisonai.bots._registry import register_platform, list_platforms
+
+# Register
+register_platform("line", LineBot)
+register_platform("viber", ViberBot)
+
+# Verify
+print(list_platforms())  # [..., "line", "viber", ...]
+
+# Use
+bot = Bot("line", agent=agent, token="my-line-token")
+```
+
+**Adapter contract**: Custom adapters must implement `async start()` and `async stop()`. Optional: `send_message()`, `on_message()`, `on_command()`, `is_running` property.
+
+### 12.7 YAML Config Format
+
+```yaml
+# botos.yaml
+agent:
+  name: assistant
+  instructions: You are a helpful assistant.
+  llm: gpt-4o-mini
+platforms:
+  telegram:
+    token: ${TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN}
+  discord:
+    token: ${DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN}
+  slack:
+    token: ${SLACK_BOT_TOKEN}
+    app_token: ${SLACK_APP_TOKEN}
+```

+Extensible Approval Protocol for PraisonAI Agents.

+This package provides a protocol-driven, per-agent approval system for

+    get_approval_registry().set_backend(AutoApproveBackend(), agent_name="bot")
+

+
+    from praisonaiagents.approval import ApprovalProtocol, ApprovalRequest, ApprovalDecision
+
+    class WebhookBackend:
+        async def request_approval(self, request: ApprovalRequest) -> ApprovalDecision:
