+
+</div>
+
+POLYROB is a self-hosted autonomous AI agent that runs on your own machine. You give it a goal in
+plain language and it does the rest — planning the work into steps, browsing the web, reading and
+writing files, running code and shell commands, calling external tools and APIs, and recovering
+from its own errors until the goal is done. It works with every major LLM provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek,
+OpenRouter, NVIDIA NIM, twenty more flat-rate and regional rows, six OAuth subscription plans,
+and any endpoint you declare) and fails over between them automatically,
+remembers what it learns across sessions, and reaches you wherever you are — your terminal, the web
+console, a REST API, or chat surfaces like Telegram and email. Switch it into personal-agent mode
+and it becomes durably autonomous: it keeps a backlog of goals that survives restarts, writes and
+curates its own skills from experience, wakes itself to follow up on unfinished work, and refines
+an evolving model of how you work.
+
+> **Self-hosted, not a SaaS.** POLYROB runs on your own machine or server. There is no hosted
+> version — your keys, your data, your control. The core install is ~50 MB with zero cloud
+> dependencies; everything beyond LLM calls stays on your box unless you opt in.
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Give it a goal and walk away
+
+POLYROB doesn't just answer — it *works*, and it keeps working when you're not watching.
+
+- **Durable goal board** — a cross-session backlog in SQLite with atomic claims and a circuit breaker that survives process restarts, so long-running or unattended work isn't lost to a reboot.
+- **Cron in natural language** — the agent schedules its own recurring runs (`"every monday 09:00"`, `"30m"`, cron syntax), and can deliver results out-of-band to Telegram, email, or X.
+- **Self-wake** — re-enters idle sessions to continue or follow up, with depth and backoff guards so it never loops.
+- **Background review + curator** — a cheap aux model reviews what worked every few turns and can distill a new skill; unused skills are retired automatically and revived when relevant again.
+- **Parallel delegation** — `delegate_task` spawns least-privilege sub-agents for concurrent workstreams (no money/comms/code-exec, can't re-delegate), sync or detached in the background.
+
+## 🧬 It learns and gets better with use
+
+Run POLYROB as your personal agent (`POLYROB_LOCAL=true`) and it turns experience into durable
+capability instead of forgetting it when the task ends.
+
+- **Reflective, hierarchical memory** — findings are organized into phases, consolidated by an LLM, and forgotten by *importance* (`recency + relevance + frequency`), not just age.
+- **Cross-session recall** — SQLite FTS5 keyword search out of the box (zero extra deps), or optional hybrid keyword+vector recall (`sqlite-vec`) that transparently degrades to keyword search if the extension can't load — the agent keeps working either way.
+- **Episodic activity log** — a durable "what happened last time" ledger bridges each new session so it never starts cold.
+- **Writes its own skills** — authored through a scanned, quarantined pipeline; every self-modification is reviewed before it takes effect, so a background turn can never silently rewrite a skill or the agent's identity.
+- **Evolving identity** — a per-user self-doc the agent updates (owner-gated) as it learns how you work.
+- **Named profiles** — run several isolated bots on one machine (`polyrob -P scout`), each with its own persona, memory, keys and daemons; export a profile or install one from a git repo. See [docs/guide/profiles.md](docs/guide/profiles.md).
+
+Skills use the open [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io) `SKILL.md` format — the same format as
+Claude Code, discovered straight from `~/.agents/skills/` (and `~/.claude/skills/`). Install from a local folder, a GitHub repo, or
+a `SKILL.md` URL: `polyrob skill install <spec>` threat-scans, quarantines, and waits for your
+explicit approval. See **[docs/guide/skills.md](docs/guide/skills.md)**.
+
+## 🛠️ A real toolbox
+
+- **Web, two ways** — a lightweight `web_fetch` returns any URL as clean markdown with **no browser install needed**, or full **Playwright** automation (navigate/click/type/screenshot/DOM extract, anti-detection) when you need it.
+- **MCP client** — connect any Model Context Protocol server over **STDIO, SSE, HTTP, or Streamable HTTP**, with auto tool-discovery, per-server circuit breakers, encrypted secrets, and live resource subscriptions.
+- **Structured web data** — the AnySite tool pulls structured data from **200+ sites and platforms**; Perplexity-backed search; Twitter/X and Gmail tools.
+- **Code & files** — file/CSV/JSON handling, built-in coding tools (`str_replace` / `apply_patch` / `run_tests` / grep), git & GitHub tools, and opt-in sandboxed code execution.
+- **Vision** — reasons over screenshots and images.
+
+## 🔌 Use it from anywhere
+
+One agent core, many front doors:
+
+- **Terminal** — run `polyrob` to talk to the agent: live tool transcripts, secret-scrubbed output, resumable sessions, and nearly sixty slash commands (`/inbox`, `/goals`, `/model`, `/memory`, `/pause`, `/autonomy`, `/config`; the full list is in [docs/guide/cli.md](docs/guide/cli.md)).
+- **Web console** — five clear destinations for Chat, Inbox, Work, Money, and Agent. Watch live work, resolve approvals, manage standing jobs and apps, reconcile the agent's ledger, and change its capabilities from one owner surface.
+- **REST API + SSE streaming**, plus a drop-in **OpenAI-compatible `/v1`** endpoint — point any OpenAI SDK at `localhost:9000/v1`.
+- **A2A protocol** — Google's Agent-to-Agent standard (Agent Card discovery, JSON-RPC, SSE) so other agents can discover and delegate to yours.
+- **MCP server** — expose polyrob to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client as a read-only tool provider (`POST /mcp`, off by default) — it's an MCP client *and* server.
+- **Chat surfaces** — Telegram (live incremental streaming + voice-note transcription), email (IMAP/SMTP), WhatsApp, Discord, Slack, Signal, and X (Twitter) DMs.
+
+## 🖥️ One console for the whole agent
+
+The POLYROB Console keeps conversation, unattended work, owner decisions, money, and agent policy in
+one place. It uses the same goal board, approval queue, wallet ledger, and configuration primitives as
+the CLI and API, so a decision made in one surface is visible in the others.

+
+## 🧠 Multi-provider intelligence
+
+- **One agent, every provider** — six built-ins plus flat-rate rows, OAuth subscription plans and your own endpoint, behind a native LLM layer with **no third-party agent framework**. The live list and how to pick one: [docs/guide/configuration.md §3](docs/guide/configuration.md#3-providers-and-models).
+- **Bring your own endpoint** — declare any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible provider in `~/.polyrob/providers.yaml` with **zero code**: a local Ollama/vLLM/LM Studio, Groq/Together/Fireworks, a z.ai GLM Coding Plan, or a corporate gateway. Declared models list and route like built-ins; hostile rows (secret-exfil `env_key`s, metadata endpoints) are refused at load.
+- **Automatic failover** — a rate-limited or failing provider silently retries on a fallback.
+- **Live model switching** — `/model <provider> <model>` mid-session, or per-request override on the `/v1` surface.
+- **Cross-provider prompt caching** — cuts token cost on long sessions, with cached-token metrics surfaced per provider.
+- **Optional extended thinking** — per-provider reasoning budgets (Anthropic thinking blocks, DeepSeek CoT, OpenAI reasoning effort), plus a scrubber that keeps leaked reasoning prose out of your history and output.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+POLYROB targets **Python 3.11+**.
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install (with all optional features)
+pipx install "polyrob[all]"
+
+# 2. Browser engine (optional — only needed for web automation).
+#    pipx isolates the venv, so run playwright FROM polyrob's venv:
+"$(pipx environment --value PIPX_LOCAL_VENVS)/polyrob/bin/playwright" install chromium
+
+# 3. Configure (connects a provider key, writes ~/.polyrob/.env)
+polyrob init
+
+# 4. Sanity-check your setup
+polyrob doctor
+
+# 5. Start it
+polyrob
+```
+
+> Plain `pip install polyrob` into your own venv? Then step 2 is just
+> `python -m playwright install chromium` in that venv — and the core agent
+> runs fine without the browser at all.
+
+Run `polyrob` and you're talking to the agent. Give it a task in plain language and it plans, works,
+and reports back; ask a follow-up and it keeps going. `polyrob doctor` is a real preflight — it
+reports which provider keys resolve, the exact model it will pick, your active memory backend, and
+workspace isolation.
+
+**Turn on autonomy** to unlock the self-evolving and goal-seeking loops (skills, curator,
+goal board, self-wake, episodic memory):
+
+```bash
+polyrob autonomy on --global     # writes AUTONOMY_ENABLED=true to ~/.polyrob/.env; `polyrob init` also asks
+```
+
+The four axes, what each one moves and how to stop it again:
+[docs/guide/configuration.md §5](docs/guide/configuration.md#5-the-autonomy-dial).
+
+<details>
+<summary>Optional: web console & REST API</summary>
+
+```bash
+polyrob dashboard   # web console         → http://localhost:5050
+polyrob serve       # local REST API      → http://localhost:9000
+polyrob gateway     # run all enabled chat surfaces (Telegram/email/…) in one process
+```

+## A taste of what it can do
+
+```
+"Research competitors in the AI automation space and write a report
+ with pricing, features, and positioning."
+
+"Monitor this webpage daily and alert me when the price drops below $500."
+
+"Log into my dashboard, export the monthly report, and email it to my team."
+
+"Scrape these 50 product pages, extract pricing, and build a CSV."
+```
+
+More real-world examples → **[docs/examples.md](docs/examples.md)**
+
+---
+
+## The terminal, done right
+
+Run `polyrob` and you're in the agent. From inside the session, slash commands give you full control:
+
+| In-session command | What it does |
+|---|---|
+| `/compact` | LLM-compresses the context window (e.g. 8,432 → 3,210 tokens) mid-session |
+| `/usage` | Authoritative token + cost accounting from the local DB |
+| `/model <provider> <model>` | Hot-swap the model without losing the conversation |
+| `/memory search <q>` | Search cross-session memory inline |
+| `/self` | View the agent's SOUL (identity) and evolving SELF doc |
+| `/replay` | Visually replay a past session |
+| `/autonomy` | Inspect goals, cron, and the autonomy loops |
+
+Twelve named toolsets (`minimal`, `safe`, `research`, `coding`, `development`, `browser`, `social`,
+`full` and more) let you scope exactly what the agent can touch. Management subcommands round it
+out — `polyrob doctor` (preflight), `polyrob kb add/search` (local knowledge base), `polyrob auth`
+(provider sign-in), `polyrob keys` (API access), `polyrob profile` (several bots on one machine),
+and `polyrob update` (self-update with snapshot, guarded migration, verify and **auto-rollback**;
+`--apply` for git installs, a hint for pipx).

+
+## Safe autonomy by design
+
+An autonomous agent that touches the web, your files, and other people needs guardrails. POLYROB
+marks external content as untrusted data and layers capability, authority, approval, and containment
+checks around it. The core protections below are **on by default**:
+
+| Layer | Protection | Default |
+|-------|------------|---------|
+| **Untrusted-input wrapping** | Web pages, emails, and tool results framed as data, not instructions | **On** |
+| **Least-privilege delegation** | Sub-agents get narrowed toolsets (no money/comms/code-exec), no re-delegation | **On** |
+| **Schema sanitization** | Hostile tool-schema constructs fixed before they reach a provider | **On** |
+| **SSRF confinement** | `web_fetch` re-validates every redirect hop; blocks loopback/metadata/private targets | **On** |
+| **Self-modification review** | New skills / identity edits are quarantined and reviewed before taking effect | **On** |
+| **Code-exec containment** | Hardened Docker container by default on a server; the local subprocess backend is a convenience, not a sandbox, and a server refuses it; no inherited API keys | On when code-exec enabled |
+| **Run budget** | Cap a session's provider spend; the run halts honestly at the ceiling rather than claiming success | Opt-in (`RUN_BUDGET_USD`) |
+| **Four-tier access** | OWNER / CORRESPONDENT / GROUP MEMBER / DENIED routing for chat surfaces | Opt-in (`CORRESPONDENT_ACCESS_ENABLED`; on under `AUTONOMY_MODE=autonomous`) |
+| **Group chats (rooms)** | Allowlisted room + per-chat role; every room turn runs a read-only, audience-bounded toolset (never money/exec/delegation) in a session that carries no owner state | Opt-in (`GROUP_CHAT_ENABLED`; on under `AUTONOMY_MODE=autonomous`) |
+| **Memory threat-scan** | Rejects injected jailbreak/persona-rewrite patterns on write | Opt-in (`MEMORY_THREAT_SCAN`) |
+
+When you expose the agent to other people, the **access model** keeps a stranger's message as
+*data*: **OWNER** steers the agent · **CORRESPONDENT** (a third party the agent contacted) can only
+return data, never command · **GROUP MEMBER** is answered in an allowed room from a read-only toolset ·
+**DENIED** is blocked. A correspondent-tainted session has high-impact
+tools (money, comms, code-exec) gated off until a genuine owner turn.
+
+> **Chat surfaces are off by default for a reason.** When you enable them, treat inbound DMs as
+> untrusted input — use pairing/approval. A public group chat is a documented, supported feature
+> ([docs/guide/groups.md](docs/guide/groups.md)) with its own allowlist, per-chat roles and a
+> read-only room toolset — read that guide before turning `GROUP_CHAT_ENABLED` on.
+
+---
+
+## Crypto & web3 *(optional, off by default)*
+
+POLYROB can act as an economic agent when you want it to — all of it gated behind flags and off by
+default:
+
+- **x402 pay-per-request** — USDC micropayments on Base (opt-in Solana settlement) via the x402 protocol; the agent can both charge for its API and pay for external resources, and invoices settle facilitator-free by on-chain detection.
+- **Native agent wallet** — one seed derives per-venue EVM keys *and* a Solana address, with per-transaction and rolling 24h spend caps; testnet by default.
+- **On-chain token sight** — a read-only tool (14 verbs, NFTs included) for token identity, price, liquidity, a safety screen, pool discovery, and the agent's own portfolio across Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon and Solana — plus `reconcile`, which diffs the agent's position ledger against actual chain balances. Address is the only identity (a ticker is never resolved for you), and unknown is never rendered as zero.
+- **Guarded on-chain trading** — transfers, exact-amount approvals/revokes and swaps (local Uniswap V3 first, opt-in aggregator fallback) go through one choke point that *simulates* the transaction, measures its real asset and allowance deltas, and refuses unless they match a declared intent. `dry_run` by default, fail-closed gates, and anything above a configurable ceiling waits for an owner approval. Solana swaps (Jupiter) run the same guard order with an authority-grant refusal in place of the allowance check.
+- **Venue trading** — Hyperliquid (perps) and Polymarket (prediction markets) tools, dry-run by default behind a master + per-venue live switch and per-venue caps.
+- **ERC-8004 trustless agents** — optional on-chain agent identity + portable reputation.
+- **SIWE** wallet auth for the multi-tenant posture.
+
+> ⚠️ **Crypto features are unaudited.** The wallet, signing, and payment code (`crypto` extra) has
+> **not** had any independent security audit. It ships **as-is with no warranty** and can lose
+> funds. Enable it only at your own risk, and prefer testnets. See

+
+## Configuration essentials
+
+```bash
+# ~/.polyrob/.env — set any providers you have keys for
+OPENROUTER_API_KEY=sk-or-...   # recommended: one key reaches every model
+ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
+OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
+GEMINI_API_KEY=...
+
+# Memory backend: local_vector is the CLI default (hybrid recall; needs the [memory-vector]
+# extra, degrades to keyword FTS5 without it). Server default: sqlite
+MEMORY_BACKEND=local_vector
+
+# The CLI sets POLYROB_LOCAL for you (interactive tools). Autonomy is a second switch:
+# AUTONOMY_ENABLED=true
+```
+
+POLYROB falls back across providers automatically on billing or rate-limit errors; switch
+mid-session with `/model <provider> <model>` (or `<provider>/<model>`). Configuration guide →
+**[docs/guide/configuration.md](docs/guide/configuration.md)** · full environment-flag reference
+(SSOT) → **[docs/CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CONFIGURATION.md)**.
+
+Everything crypto — the agent wallet, paying for resources (x402), getting paid
+(invoicing, branded QR cards, on-chain settlement), watchtower subscriptions, on-chain
+token sight and guarded transfers, ERC-8004 reputation, credits, and the trading
+tools — is documented end-to-end (all OFF by default) in
+**[docs/guide/payments.md](docs/guide/payments.md)**.
+
+---
+
+## Installation options
+
+```bash
+pipx install "polyrob[all]"     # recommended — everything
+pip install polyrob             # core agent + keyword memory + CLI  (~50 MB, zero cloud deps)
+pip install "polyrob[browser]"  # add Playwright browser automation
+pip install "polyrob[server]"   # add FastAPI REST API + web console
+```
+
+Every extra, what it adds and what it costs you in disk:
+[docs/guide/getting-started.md](docs/guide/getting-started.md#extras).
+
+### Self-hosting & deployment
+
+Run it three ways, and the posture auto-derives from how you bind it: **`local`** (loopback, no
+auth — the default), **`own_ops`** (public host with owner login; `--host 0.0.0.0` auto-upgrades to
+this so you can't accidentally expose a no-auth console), or **`multitenant`** (wallet/SIWE +
+billing). One `docker compose up` builds the server + browser + vector memory and persists
+memory/sessions/skills across restarts. See
+**[docs/guide/self-hosting.md](docs/guide/self-hosting.md)**.
