Define intent. Let Soothe handle the rest.
Soothe is a goal-driven orchestration framework for 24/7 autonomous agents. It keeps humans out of the execution loop: you describe what you want, and Soothe plans, executes, and steers the work to completion — across sessions, across goals, across time.
Built on soothe-nano and an enhanced deepagents, it adds a persistent agentic loop and goal engine: context carries across sessions, long-running goals keep moving, and interdependent objectives coordinate through a typed dependency graph. Move from human-in-the-loop to agent-in-the-loop.
We believe autonomous agents should work the way great teams do: given a clear objective, they plan, act, remember, and adapt — without someone watching every step.
Soothe is built on five ideas:
- 🎯 Goals, not prompts — A goal is a first-class, persisted entity with its own lifecycle, not a string in a prompt. Soothe tracks dependencies between goals, coordinates them, and keeps each one moving.
- 🔁 A loop that thinks — StrangeLoop is a compiled plan → assess → execute graph that actively pulls the next ready goal and reports back. Two-phase planning keeps it frugal; evidence-bound steps keep it honest.
- 🧠 One memory, one truth — A single DAG is the source of truth for goals, steps, and the message ledger. Every record stores the reasoning that created it, so projections show why, not just what.
- 🔄 Always-on, never-loses — A persistent daemon owns 24/7 state.
/detachkeeps a loop running while your client exits; crash recovery bounds re-execution loss to one bundle of work per goal. - 🌐 One wire contract — A published AsyncAPI 3.0 spec is the single source of truth for the WebSocket protocol. Schema validation at the transport boundary, capability negotiation, full
subscribe → next → completelifecycle. No compatibility shims.
