Core Components

This document describes the core components of OpenHuman and their interactions.

Component Details​

1. Rust Core​

Rust Core is the core engine of the system, responsible for:

  • Agent lifecycle management
  • Task scheduling and execution
  • Tool call orchestration
  • Memory tree read/write

2. Memory System​

The memory system includes two storage types:

  • SQLite Database (chunks.db) - Structured memory storage
  • Markdown Files (wiki/) - Obsidian-compatible plain text storage

3. Tool Layer​

The tool layer connects to third-party services:

  • Native Tools: File operations, shell, git
  • Integrated Tools: Gmail, Slack, Notion, etc.
  • API Tools: Web Search, Web Scraper

4. Learning Layer​

The learning layer handles automatic memory management:

  • Importance evaluation
  • Memory compression
  • Association discovery

Data Flow​

Input → Parsing → Memory Retrieval → Agent Processing → Tool Call → Response
