Features
01Customizable Agent Loop: Users can edit prompts, gates, routing, and skills, gaining full ownership and control over the agent's behavior.
02Headless Daemon Operation: Enables running long-duration coding tasks in the background, with optional notifications via Telegram upon task completion.
03Cross-Session Persistent Memory: Agents maintain preferences, decisions, and procedures across runs using both hot memory (for always-present facts) and a searchable fact archive.
04Built-in Task Orchestrators: Provides high-level commands like `/mint` for full feature development and `/diagnose` for automated bug root-cause analysis, dispatching waves of subagents.
05Multi-Surface Interaction: Supports interaction via one-shot commands, an interactive REPL, a headless daemon, and a Telegram bot, all sharing the same session manager and memory.

Use cases
↳Automating lengthy coding projects: Delegate complex, multi-step coding tasks to run autonomously in the background.
↳Interactive terminal-based development: Use the REPL for real-time coding assistance, tool access, and plan mode, integrating directly into the developer's workflow.
↳Full feature development lifecycle: Orchestrate the entire process from idea (spec) to research, planning, building, verifying, and shipping new features using `/mint`.
↳Automated bug diagnosis and resolution: Employ `/diagnose` to automatically generate and test multiple root-cause hypotheses for failing tests or bugs.
↳Personalized agent knowledge management: Maintain and leverage a persistent memory of preferences, decisions, and procedures across all agent interactions.
