Quick Overview

AgentLife is built on a three-tier pack model:

  1. Base — the foundation layer with MCP server definitions and shared utilities
  2. Persona — a curated pack that turns your agent into a specialist (e.g. Life Ops, Student)
  3. Use Case — individual capabilities within a persona (e.g. portfolio tracking, study planning)

Each persona pack includes:

  • 5 skills — actionable workflows your agent follows
  • 4 use cases — pre-configured configurations with cron jobs and MCP alternatives
  • 3 cron scripts — scheduled tasks that run automatically (daily briefs, weekly checks)
  • 2 helper scripts — Python tools for data analysis, planning, and automation
  • 7+ MCP recommendations — suggested server integrations for live tool access

Prerequisites

AgentLife runs on top of Hermes Agent, an open-source AI agent framework. You'll need:

  • Hermes Agent installed (v0.16+)
  • Python 3.10+
  • A model provider (OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, or local)
  • An internet connection (for persona pack downloads)
