Why we included this project

Ouroboros is a general-purpose agent that carries its identity, durable memory, and history across tasks and restarts, so a long-running workflow does not lose context when you switch projects or reboot the machine. It runs as a native desktop app or a headless CLI, keeps its repository and memory on your own hardware, and can use remote model APIs you configure or a local GGUF model for inference. It also coordinates a live swarm of specialist agents and can rewrite the implementation it runs on, down to its own code, prompts, and dependencies. That combination appeals to developers and small teams who want an agent that can evolve its own tooling rather than just chain fixed steps, and who want their agent's state and history to stay under their control.
