Architecture

Understand how OpenWalrus is designed — the agent model, daemon event loop, extension protocol, memory, task delegation, and built-in tools.

Where to start

• Agents — configuration, scoping, and execution modes
• Runtime — how the runtime manages agents and sessions
• Memory — zero-infrastructure memory over plain markdown files
• Tasks — context isolation via delegate and collect
• Context Compaction — how agents stay within context limits
• Built-in Tools — filesystem and shell tools
• Protocol Reference — the wire protocol specification
