Meet Tara, your 24/7 personal assistant powered by Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Multi-channel messaging, long-term memory, skills, task scheduling, session management, and more — all running locally.
- Agent-powered sessions — Interact with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex through managed sessions with full streaming support
- Multi-channel messaging — Receive and respond to messages from multiple channels (e.g. Feishu/Lark)
- Message streaming — Streaming response for IM channel (if supported message updating/patching, e.g. Feishu)
- Task scheduling — Queue-based task dispatcher with per-session serial execution and cross-session concurrency
- Cron jobs — Schedule recurring tasks with cron patterns
- Session persistence — Sessions stored as JSONL files with full message history
- Web dashboard — React-based UI for managing sessions, tasks, and memory
- File and image support — Send and receive files and images through message channels
- RESTful API — Hono-based API server with type-safe RPC client

- Bun (latest)
- One of the following coding agents:
- Claude Code installed and configured
- OpenAI Codex installed and configured
First, clone the repo and install all its dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/magiccube/agentara.git
cd agentara
make installThen, run in DEVELOPMENT mode. Both backend server and frontend website will be launched.
make devOn first run, Agentara creates ~/.agentara with default config, workspace, and data directories.
The backend runs on http://localhost:1984 and the frontend dev server on http://localhost:8000 (proxying API requests to the backend).
Go to your IM client and start chatting with Tara:
/bootstrap
Or schedule a cronjob:
Hey, Tara! Schedule a cronjob to run every 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM to run the `/pulse` skill.
| Variable | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
AGENTARA_HOME |
Home directory for all Agentara data | ~/.agentara |
AGENTARA_LOG_LEVEL |
Log level (trace, debug, info, warn, error) |
info |
AGENTARA_SERVICE_PORT |
API server port | 1984 |
AGENTARA_SERVICE_HOST |
API server host | localhost |
A config.yaml is auto-generated at $AGENTARA_HOME/config.yaml on first run. Here is an example:
agents:
default:
type: claude # Agent runner to use
tasking:
max_retries: 1 # Max attempts per task before marking as failed
messaging:
default_channel_id: 9e3eae94-fe88-4043-af40-e7f88943a370 # Change it to yours
channels:
- id: 9e3eae94-fe88-4043-af40-e7f88943a370 # Unique ID for the channel
type: feishu
name: Tara
description: Tara's default channel
params:
app_id: $FEISHU_APP_ID # Resolved from environment variable
app_secret: $FEISHU_APP_SECRET
chat_id: oc_xxxxxxxxxxxxxString values starting with $ are automatically resolved from environment variables at load time. All fields are validated with Zod on startup — missing or invalid values will produce a clear error.
All data lives under $AGENTARA_HOME (~/.agentara by default):

- Use
loggerfrom@/sharedfor logging — never useconsole.logdirectly - Import from
@/shareddirectly, not from sub-paths - Entities are defined with Zod schemas first, TypeScript interfaces second
- Use underscore naming for entity fields
- Private class members are prefixed with
