Feature Catalog

OpenSquilla combines a personal-agent runtime with model routing, tools, memory, channels, scheduling, and reusable skills.

Product Surfaces

Surface	What it is for
Web UI	Local control console, setup, chat sessions, approvals, logs, channels, and usage surfaces.
CLI chat	Interactive terminal agent work.
CLI agent	Single-turn automation, CI-like runs, and benchmark-style invocations.
Gateway RPC	Local server surface for Web UI, CLI clients, channels, and external clients.
Channels	Telegram, Slack, Feishu/Lark, Discord, DingTalk, WeCom, Matrix, QQ, terminal, and websocket-style integrations.

Distinctive Features

SquillaRouter

Local routing for model tier selection. It is designed to keep easy turns cheap and reserve expensive models for work that needs them.

Read: features/squilla-router.md

TUI Frontend

Terminal chat uses a streaming plane for token deltas and a structured UI plane for plugin snapshots such as the Router HUD.

Read: tui.md for user-facing terminal chat usage and features/tui-frontend.md for backend details.

Tool Compression

Large tool outputs are projected into compact provider-visible previews while the runtime can keep richer raw results out-of-band.

Read: features/tool-compression.md

Meta-Skills

Repeatable multi-step workflows can be represented as skills, inspected, proposed, replayed, and reused. By default, users launch them manually on supported chat surfaces with /meta and /meta <name>.

Read: features/meta-skills.md and features/meta-skill-user-guide.md

Memory

Durable memory lets OpenSquilla recall useful user preferences, project notes, and previous task traces without forcing every old transcript into the active prompt.

Read: features/memory.md

Skills

Skills package task-specific guidance and scripts so the agent can load the right operating instructions only when a task needs them.

Read: features/skills.md

Compaction and Cache Continuity

Long sessions can compact old context, preserve recent task state, and report compaction lifecycle events.

Read: features/compaction-and-cache.md

Sessions and Durable Agents

Sessions preserve conversation continuity, exports, and running-task control. Durable agents provide named identities and defaults for recurring workstreams.

Read: sessions.md and agents.md

Usage, Diagnostics, and Permissions

Usage reports explain recent model spend. Diagnostics and replay help inspect a turn after it runs. Permission and approval controls keep tool access matched to the task.

Read: usage-and-cost.md, diagnostics-and-replay.md, and approvals-and-permissions.md

Core Runtime Capabilities

• Unified TurnRunner path across Web UI, CLI, and channels.
• Provider abstraction for OpenAI-compatible APIs, Anthropic, Ollama, and other configured backends.
• Streaming responses, tool calls, retries, approvals, artifacts, and final usage accounting.
• Durable session storage with transcript, summaries, context states, and replay support.
• Per-agent workspaces and durable agent entries.
• Subagent support for bounded delegation.

Tools

OpenSquilla includes tools for:

• Filesystem read/write/edit/list/glob/grep.
• Shell commands, background processes, and code execution.
• Git status, diff, log, and commit.
• Web search and web fetch.
• Memory search/save/get/delete.
• Session search, session spawn/send/history/status.
• Artifact publication.
• Image generation, PDF, TTS, and media workflows.
• Spreadsheet, PPTX, DOCX, CSV, and PDF authoring through bundled skills.
• Feishu/Lark docs, chat, drive, wiki, permissions, and media upload.
• Cron and gateway administration.
• Skill listing, viewing, creating, editing, installing dependencies, and meta-skill invocation.

Skills

Bundled user-facing skills include:

• deep-research
• summarize
• memory
• cron
• github
• docx
• pptx
• xlsx
• pdf-toolkit
• html-to-pdf
• multi-search-engine
• weather
• tmux
• sub-agent
• skill-creator

Retained bundled MetaSkills include meta-kid-project-planner, meta-paper-write, meta-short-drama, and meta-skill-creator. Experimental MetaSkills may exist in development trees, but they are not presented as stable built-in product capabilities.

Read: features/skills.md

Scheduling

The cron command group manages scheduled OpenSquilla runs:

opensquilla cron list
opensquilla cron add \
  --every 1h \
  --text "Summarize important project updates" \
  --name hourly-project-check
opensquilla cron status <job-id>
opensquilla cron run <job-id>
opensquilla cron runs <job-id>

Scheduled jobs can deliver work through configured surfaces such as channels or webhooks depending on the configured job.

Read: scheduling.md

Migration

OpenSquilla can import compatible state from OpenClaw and Hermes Agent. It can also copy a complete supported CLI/Desktop profile, or historical Windows Portable data, into a separately owned OpenSquilla profile:

opensquilla migrate openclaw --json
opensquilla migrate openclaw --apply
opensquilla migrate hermes --json
opensquilla migrate hermes --apply
opensquilla migrate opensquilla --source PATH --json
opensquilla migrate opensquilla --source PATH --apply

Same-product imports always require explicit source selection. A populated target is never merged: it can only be kept or fully backed up and replaced.
