Claude Agent SDK for Python repo

Anthropic's official Python library that exposes the Claude Code agent loop, built in tools, and context management as an embeddable SDK, currently at release v0.2.152.

What it does for you: Lets YY run the same agent loop that powers Claude Code inside custom Python scripts or servers, so a Hermes style runtime can spawn subagents, hooks, and permission logic without reimplementing the harness from scratch. The latest release adds a defer hook decision, strict MCP config options, and updatedToolOutput for post tool hooks, all of which reduce custom glue code the Telegram bridge would otherwise need to write by hand.

In practice: This is the actual plumbing under Axion, worth tracking release notes on weekly rather than treating as optional reading.

For: Claude (Axion). This is Anthropic's own SDK for embedding the Claude Code agent loop in custom software, so it is Claude specific by definition and is what a Hermes style runtime would be built on top of.

sandbox-runtime repo

An open source OS level sandboxing tool from Anthropic that restricts filesystem and network access for arbitrary processes without requiring a container, the same isolation code used inside Claude Code's own bash sandbox.

What it does for you: Lets YY wrap Axion's agent generated shell commands, local MCP servers, or any untrusted subprocess in filesystem and network restrictions on his own machine, using native primitives, sandbox-exec on macOS and bubblewrap on Linux, plus a network proxy filter, so no Docker install is needed. It is the closest thing to a ready made permission fence for exactly the kind of agent driven shell commands Axion already runs.

In practice: The most directly relevant and credible pick in this lens because it is literally Anthropic hardening its own Claude Code sandbox and open sourcing it.

For: Both runtimes. OS level sandboxing wraps any subprocess Axion or a Hermes runtime spawns, on macOS or Linux, so it is not tied to one specific agent runtime.

Langfuse repo

A self hostable open source LLM engineering platform combining tracing, prompt management, and evaluation including LLM as judge scoring, currently at release v4.28.1.

What it does for you: Self host it once and get a full trace viewer for every Axion agent and MCP call, prompt version history so a bad hook writer prompt edit can be rolled back, and built in LLM as judge scoring pointed at Hermes runs to catch quality regressions before YY sees them. It integrates with OpenTelemetry so it can sit under Claude Code's existing OTel hooks without custom glue code.

In practice: The most mature and actively shipped option in this lens, with daily commits and a real community behind it.

For: Both runtimes. Self hostable observability platform that ingests OpenTelemetry traces, so it works with any LLM stack Axion or Hermes calls, not only Claude Code.

Mem0 repo

An open source memory layer that extracts, stores, and retrieves facts from agent conversations across sessions, with official Python and TypeScript SDKs.

What it does for you: Drops into a Claude Code agent or MCP server as a persistent fact store so an agent remembers preferences, past decisions, and project state across separate sessions instead of losing everything when the context window resets. It ships an official Anthropic SDK integration, so it can sit alongside Claude Code without a custom adapter, and two SDK releases shipped in the last week alone, so the API is actively moving.

In practice: The most mature and widely adopted memory option, feels like the safe default rather than the interesting new thing.

For: Both runtimes. Ships generic Python and TypeScript SDKs plus 21 framework integrations, so it works equally from a Claude Agent SDK script or a Hermes runtime.

DeepEval repo

An Apache 2.0, Pytest style Python framework for LLM and agent evaluation with more than 50 built in metrics including LLM as judge, trajectory, and tool use scoring.

What it does for you: Lets YY write eval cases as normal Python test functions and score agent trajectories with metrics like TaskCompletionMetric, plugging into LangChain, Pydantic AI, and CrewAI callback hooks so an Axion agent can fail CI when a prompt change breaks behavior. It ships a dedicated quickstart aimed at people who build with an AI coding assistant rather than write eval harnesses by hand, which fits how YY already works.

In practice: Feels the most code native and CI friendly of the evaluation tools, closest to writing normal unit tests.

For: Both runtimes. A Python testing library that runs as normal unit tests, usable from any codebase regardless of which agent runtime is under evaluation.

Chonkie repo

An open source Python and JavaScript text chunking library built for RAG ingestion pipelines, offering token, semantic, sentence, recursive, and late chunking strategies.

What it does for you: Drops into an Axion ingest step to split brain documents and reports into chunks before embedding, so YY does not have to hand roll splitting logic for every corpus. Its stated throughput and small package size mean it can run inline in the nightly brain ingest without adding real latency or a heavy dependency tree.

In practice: A small, fast, purpose built tool that looks like a genuine time saver for the boring first mile of any RAG pipeline.

Snyk Agent Scan repo

A CLI security scanner from Snyk that auto discovers local AI agent configurations, MCP servers, and agent skills, then scans them for prompt injection, tool poisoning, and malicious skill payloads.

What it does for you: YY could point this at Axion's Skills folder and any locally configured MCP servers before syncing them into the runtime, catching tool poisoning, credential handling issues, or hardcoded secrets in a skill before it ever executes against his accounts. It is the closest thing to an antivirus scan for the exact kind of skill and MCP sprawl Axion already has, with over 710 skills to check.

In practice: Practical and directly usable today with almost no setup cost, worth a one time run against the Skills folder this week.

For: Both runtimes. A CLI scanner that reads local skill and MCP configuration files directly, independent of which runtime later executes them.

RAGFlow repo

An open source, self hostable RAG engine combining deep document parsing, chunk inspection, and agent workflow building in one system, currently at release v0.27.0.

What it does for you: Provides a full ingest to answer pipeline, parsing messy PDFs and docs, chunking with visual inspection, then retrieving for an agent, that could sit under a Hermes runtime as the retrieval backend for report and brain search. It has a built in MCP dashboard so it can expose retrieval as MCP tools directly to Claude Code agents, and a May 2026 update cut retrieval latency by 50 to 100 percent per the project's own release notes.

In practice: The most complete, most starred, most actively shipped tool in this lens, but it wants to be the whole system rather than a component to drop into Axion.

For: Both runtimes. A self hosted RAG engine reachable over its own API and MCP dashboard, usable from Claude Code or any other client that speaks MCP.

mcp-compressor plugin

An MCP server wrapper from Atlassian Labs, shipped in TypeScript, Python, and Rust, that reduces the tokens consumed by MCP tool definitions and responses.

What it does for you: Sits between a Claude Code MCP client and existing MCP servers, compressing verbose tool schemas and tool call outputs before they reach context. For a solo operator running several MCP servers inside Hermes, this directly shrinks the fixed token tax every session pays just to list available tools, leaving more room for actual work.

In practice: Feels like exactly the kind of quiet infrastructure fix a large org builds for itself and open sources almost as an afterthought, worth a cautious trial.

For: Both runtimes. A proxy that sits between any MCP client and existing MCP servers, so it benefits Claude Code sessions and any other MCP based runtime equally.

prompt-caching (flightlesstux) plugin

An MCP plugin and Claude Code plugin that automatically places cache_control breakpoints, analyzes cacheability, and tracks real time cache savings for Claude Code sessions.

What it does for you: Installs as a Claude Code plugin that watches repeated file reads and long coding conversations and injects caching breakpoints automatically, claiming up to 90 percent token cost cuts on repeated reads with zero configuration. It targets the exact caching problem YY's own automations already care about, without needing a separate proxy service.

In practice: The most immediately relevant find in this lens, purpose built for exactly this runtime.

For: Claude (Axion). Ships specifically as a Claude Code plugin with a .claude-plugin folder targeting Claude API cache control breakpoints, so it is Claude specific rather than a generic wrapper.

MemPalace repo

A fully local AI memory system built around a palace and drawer metaphor, using ChromaDB internally, that ships an MCP server with 45 tools for reads, writes, knowledge graph operations, and multi agent coordination.

What it does for you: Installs as a CLI plus an MCP server that a Claude Code agent can call directly for persistent storage, cross session recall, and multi agent handoffs through an agent diary and log stream, with no external API calls required since it runs fully local. It ships its own .claude-plugin directory, meaning Claude Code plugin wiring is closer to drop in than most competitors.

In practice: The most exciting fit on paper for a local first Axion and Hermes stack, but the growth curve is fast enough to double check before building on it.

For: Both runtimes. Runs as a local CLI plus an MCP server, so it is reachable from Claude Code or any other MCP capable client without being tied to one vendor's SDK.

Cognee repo

An open source AI memory platform combining a knowledge graph with vector search, packaged as a self hosted engine for persistent agent memory.

What it does for you: Offers a hybrid graph plus vector retrieval pipeline in one package, so YY gets both fact lookup and semantic search without wiring two separate systems together. It ships MCP integrations directly, meaning it can be added to Claude Code as a memory MCP server with less custom glue code than assembling a vector store and graph store separately.

In practice: Feels like the most complete out of the box package for someone who wants graph and vector memory without assembling it themselves.

What it does for you: Ships an MCP server labeled for Claude and Cursor so YY could add local, self hosted transcription as a tool inside Axion without paying per minute to a cloud speech to text API, useful for transcribing meeting recordings, voice notes, or podcast raw footage before content processing. It also has an OpenAI compatible API mode for wiring into existing pipelines.

In practice: The most directly usable option here for an actual pain point, self hosted transcription of coaching content feeding into the brain.

A community maintained fork of AutoGen, now shipping a rewritten event driven framework that reached stable v1.0 and is iterating through 1.0.x patch releases, currently v1.0.3.

What it does for you: The 1.0.x line added a SkillPlugin that is spec aligned with agentskills.io, meaning AG2 agents can load the same kind of portable skill packages Axion already uses, plus a feature to serve an AG2 agent as an MCP server with OAuth, which is a direct bridge into YY's existing MCP based tooling.

In practice: The most directly relevant find in the orchestration lens, its skills and MCP server features read like they were built with Axion's setup in mind.

For: Both runtimes. A Python framework that can run standalone or expose itself as an MCP server, so it works whether or not Claude Code is the caller.

AgentField repo

An open source execution backend that runs agent functions as durable, callable services with async fire and forget execution, webhooks, streaming, and retries, with no enforced timeout.

What it does for you: Solves the problem of a background agent that needs to run for hours without a client connection, by exposing an async endpoint that queues the job, retries with backoff, and calls a signed webhook when done, which is exactly the shape of an unattended overnight Axion task. It explicitly supports wrapping Claude Code or Codex CLI calls as callable functions, and keeps existing LangGraph or CrewAI logic runnable inside it rather than requiring a rewrite.

In practice: The single most concretely useful spec in this lens for turning a Claude Code call into a fire and forget background job with a webhook callback.

For: Both runtimes. Wraps Claude Code or Codex CLI calls as callable functions but is not itself Claude specific, so it fits any coding agent CLI.

It has WebRTC and telephony transport built in, so it can sit in front of Claude Code style agent logic as the voice front end.

In practice: Feels like the current default choice for anyone assembling a voice agent from parts rather than a single vendor SDK.

Arize Coding Harness Tracing repo

An Apache 2.0 open source library that instruments coding agent harnesses, including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, and emits OpenInference spans to Arize AX or Phoenix.

What it does for you: Reconstructs each turn of a Claude Code session as a trace tree, prompts, tool calls, model responses, and subagent runs, and ships that to Phoenix, which is self hostable, so YY can see exactly where an Axion agent run wasted tokens or looped. It targets the specific harness YY already uses rather than a generic LLM SDK, so setup is narrower than instrumenting raw API calls by hand.

In practice: Feels like the right shaped tool at the right time, small and unproven but pointed straight at Claude Code instead of being generic.

For: Both runtimes. Instruments Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex alike and emits vendor neutral OpenInference spans, so it is not exclusive to one runtime.

gh-aw repo

A GitHub built framework for writing scheduled and event triggered agentic workflows in markdown that run inside GitHub Actions using Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini, or Codex as the engine.

What it does for you: Lets YY define a background agent as a markdown file with a cron trigger or repo event, then have it run sandboxed in Actions with safe output guardrails instead of building a custom scheduler and credential store. Directly usable for Axion style overnight jobs if any repo automation moves to GitHub, and its sandboxing model is a reference for hardening a Hermes runtime.

In practice: Feels like the most credible and best resourced entry in this lens since GitHub itself is maintaining it, but the recent security retraction is a real flag on a young project.

For: Both runtimes. Runs inside GitHub Actions and can use Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini, or Codex as the engine, so it is deliberately runtime agnostic.

Muse Code plugin

Meta's first terminal based coding agent, released in beta on 2026-08-05, powered by the Muse Spark 1.2 model with a 1 million token context window.

What it does for you: Runs multiple background subagents each in its own isolated git worktree so parallel changes never collide, which maps directly onto how YY could farm out coding sub tasks for Axion without manual branch juggling. Every tool call and decision writes to a replayable event log, giving a built in audit trail for autonomous runs up to 24 hours and more than 1,000 tool calls, which is the kind of crash recovery a Hermes runtime currently lacks.

In practice: The worktree per subagent plus event log design feels like the most directly copyable idea for a Hermes runtime this week, genuinely new rather than a wrapper.

For: Standalone tool. A closed beta product with its own model and account system, used as a separate tool rather than built into Axion or a Hermes runtime.

A remote MCP server listed in the official MCP registry that exposes more than 150 hosted AI apps for image, video, audio, and 3D generation as callable, streamable tools.

What it does for you: Gives YY one MCP connection that fans out to many hosted generation models instead of installing separate SDKs for each provider, useful for carousel, poster, or video pipeline work where several single purpose media MCPs are currently juggled separately.

In practice: An interesting all in one media gateway, but pricing and authentication details need a closer read before trusting an agent to call it unattended.

For: Both runtimes. A remote MCP server reachable from any MCP capable client over HTTP, not exclusive to Claude Code.
