A Rust-based Agent Operating System that runs autonomous 'Hands'—pre-built capability packages—on 24/7 schedules without requiring user prompts. It ships as a single ~32MB binary and requires externally provided LLM APIs for inference.
Project overview
Compiles to a single binary and shifts the agent paradigm from prompt-reactive to scheduled, autonomous task execution.

Best for
Developers seeking a Rust-based framework to run autonomous, scheduled agent tasks 24/7 from a single binary.
Key capabilities
Pre-built autonomous capability packages that run independently, on schedules, without requiring user prompts.
Limitations and risks
The project is feature complete but pre-1.0; users should expect rough edges and breaking changes between minor versions.
The project ships rapidly, with documented breaking changes occurring between minor versions prior to a v1.0 release.
Getting started
Setup is documented as easy via a single binary curl install. The documented first success path is running the curl install script, followed by 'openfang init' and 'openfang start'.
