OpenKairos

OpenKairos is an open-source, model-agnostic autonomous background daemon inspired by Anthropic's unreleased KAIROS architecture. Unlike traditional AI coding assistants that wait for prompts, OpenKairos runs 24/7, scanning your repository every 5 minutes, building persistent memory about your project, and proactively alerting you to security issues, failing tests, and code quality problems. It supports multiple LLM providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, and local Ollama models, and delivers notifications via Telegram, macOS notifications, or terminal.

• Proactive Tick Engine: Wakes every 5 minutes to scan git diffs, evaluate changes, and take autonomous action — no prompts needed.
• 3-Layer Persistent Memory: Maintains a high-level MEMORY.md, structured topic files, and raw append-only logs to retain full project context across sessions.
• AutoDream Consolidator: After 30+ minutes of idle time, the daemon consolidates scattered observations into compressed, durable project knowledge.
• Model Agnostic: Auto-detects your LLM provider from environment variables; works with Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Gemini, or Ollama locally.
• Omni-Channel Notifications: Sends morning briefings, real-time security alerts, and task completion updates via Telegram, macOS notifications, or terminal output.
• Two Operating Modes: Run in continuous Observation Mode (kairos watch) for background monitoring, or Task Mode (kairos task "...") to assign a specific objective the daemon pursues autonomously.
• GitHub Webhook Integration: Built-in webhook server captures push events, pull requests, and CI/CD pipeline statuses for deep audit reflexes on git diff outputs.
• MCP Integration: Natively integrates with the Model Context Protocol, enabling autonomous connection to calendars, email, CI pipelines, and cloud infrastructure without manual prompts.
• Security Auditing: Detects leaked API keys, SQL injection vulnerabilities, and risky code patterns before commits are made.
• CLI Reference: Install via pip install openkairos, then use commands like kairos watch, kairos task, kairos brief, kairos dream, and kairos doctor to manage the daemon.
