🎓 Mentor

Multi-skill orchestration and self-improvement engine — the control plane for your agent.

Why Mentor?

When you have 26+ skills, someone needs to coordinate them. Mentor is the control plane: it decomposes goals into task graphs, supervises execution across skills, and dynamically repairs failures. In heartbeat mode, it reads journals from every skill, scores performance against baselines, and generates improvement proposals. It's the reason the OCAS suite works as a system instead of a pile of disconnected tools.

Skill packages follow the agentskills.io open standard and are compatible with OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, Claude, and any agentskills.io-compliant client.

Quick Start

# Create a project
"Research the competitive landscape for AI calendar tools and write a summary"

# Check progress
"What's the status of my research project?"

# Run a workflow plan
"Run contact-enrichment for person_abc123"

Mentor auto-initializes on first use, including registering heartbeat and cron jobs.

What It Does

Mentor operates in two modes. In runtime mode it decomposes goals into task graphs, supervises execution, and repairs failures through layered escalation. In heartbeat mode it reads journals from every skill, scores OKRs against baselines, and generates improvement proposals routed to Forge and Fellow. It also supports named Workflow Plans — pre-authored, parameterized task sequences invokable by name.
