🚀 Quick Start

Important

If you no need auto-compact / dream / control context-window and websearch feature. you can no configuration anything

if you no need free local-websearch you can skip config searxng`` and just set TAVILY_API_KEY` in env

# Maximum_Context_Window = min(CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_CONTEXT_TOKENS, CLAUDE_CODE_AUTO_COMPACT_WINDOW) - 20000
# set 200k env in ~/.claude/settings.json or terminal
# the 20k is used to compact as buffer band
# set tool_search env
# set agentteam in tmux

# Config SearXNG
# 1. docker configuration
# local config search engine - searxng in archlinux
# make sure have install docker and docker-compose
sudo pacman -S docker-compose && docker
docker --version && docker compose version
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

# make sure open pc and now start docker daemon
sudo systemctl enable --now docker

# 2. docker-compose pull
# use VersperSearch a pre-build docker config in https://github.com/versperai/VersperSearch
# or install searxng in docker-compose by yourself
curl -fsSL \
-O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/searxng/searxng/master/container/docker-compose.yml \

# add json source in formats behind html - jsonl in 87 lines
cd searxng/core-config/ && sudo nvim settings.yml

# start searxng engine
docker compose up -d

# 3. check search feature
# check in every browser

Auto Compact & Dream & SubAgent

🧠 Core Mechanisms of Cycle Long Run

• Auto Compact — Automatically optimizes and compresses historical context to bypass sequence length bottlenecks.
• Dream — Asynchronously distills operational data into long-term insights.

🗂️ SubAgent Swarm Topology

SubAgent Type	Core Responsibility
🛡️ General-Purpose	Orchestrates routing, high-level user interaction, and dispatching.
🔍 Explore	Conducts deep semantic search and autonomous tool discovery.
📋 Plan	Handles multi-step chain-of-thought strategy and task decomposition.
🧪 Verification	Executes automated runtime validation, assertion checks, and fault tolerance.
