+Lightweight enough to understand completely. Complete enough to not reinvent wheels. Not a framework, not 50,000 lines of opinions — just composable building blocks for agents. The core imports nothing; when you want governance, wire bareguard and every tool call traverses one policy hook, one audit log, one budget cap.

 ## What this is
 
-bareagent is a lightweight agent orchestration library (~2.4K lines of core, one required dep). It provides composable components for LLM tool-calling loops, goal planning, state tracking, scheduled actions, human approval gates, persistent memory, circuit breaking, provider fallback, single-gate governance via [bareguard](https://npmjs.com/package/bareguard), cross-platform shell tools, and an MCP bridge. All components are independent — use one, use all, or bring your own.
