Question

I’ve been playing around with openclaw, and with moltbook, it’s honestly been mind-blowing. Connected agents are just like people with internet.

However, openclaw’s code feels pretty rough right now—very “AI-generated” in the bad way, glitches here and there; poorly designed interface. But at the same time I feel it’s maybe impossible to evolve openclaw into something as solid as opencode, given how it's done and will going.

So I’m wondering: could we instead build some of these capabilities on top of opencode, in a way that keeps things clean and extensible, but lets people extend it into something OpenClaw-like? For example:

  • A daemon to handle heartbeat / auto-wake -> more autonomy
  • A memory / hooks system -> long-term memory
  • A plugin / extension system to install new capabilities -> self-evolution

The Internet massively accelerated human progress, and I think we’re about to see the same thing happen for agents—just waaaay faster. It feels important enough that every agent framework should probably think about how it plugs into this (or these) agent-native “internets” going forward.

I’m not sure, but I kind of feel like this is the next stage for agents. Curious what you think—does this direction make sense for opencode?

This issue touches on several features that have been discussed in related issues. You may want to check these for additional context:

  • #10868: Plugin API Extensions for Storage, Schema, TUI, and Command Registration (addresses memory/hooks system aspects)
  • #9446: Multi-agent coordination system / opencode-council-swarm (addresses agent autonomy and coordination)
  • #10746: Subagent permission management by primary agents (addresses orchestration of agent autonomy)
  • #10968: Support for downloading skills from GitHub and managing MCPs/plugins (addresses extensibility)

These issues explore different dimensions of the agent autonomy and extensibility problem you're describing. Feel free to check them for complementary perspectives and discussions.

Maybe for now, you can do this:

  1. Ask it to create a cron job to start itself with appropriate arguments
  2. for memory, use a vector-db with MCP
  3. you can use plugins, skills and self-written instructions for that
