# Yao — Build Autonomous Agents. Just Define the Role.
# Yao — App Runtime for the AI Era
Yao is an open-source engine for autonomous agents — event-driven, proactive, and self-scheduling.
Yao is an open-source runtime for building AI agents and web applications — shipped as a single binary.

## What Makes Yao Different?
## How It Works
| Traditional AI Assistants | Yao Autonomous Agents |
| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Entry point: Chatbox | Entry point: Email, Events, Schedules |
| Passive: You ask, they answer | Proactive: They work autonomously |
| Role: Tool | Role: Team member |
Think of Yao Agent as a **cage, not an animal**. What you put inside determines the behavior; the cage keeps it controlled.
> The entry point is not a chatbox — it's email, events, and scheduled tasks.
Every request flows through the same pipeline:
![Pipeline](docs/pipeline.png)
`Create Hook` runs before the executor — inject context, enforce constraints, route requests.
`Next Hook` runs after — validate output, trigger downstream actions, drive multi-step loops.
**The AI does the heavy lifting. You define the boundaries.**
### Three Modes
| Mode | Executor | When to use |
|------|----------|-------------|
| **LLM** | OpenAI, Anthropic, etc. | Conversational assistants, Q&A, content generation |
| **CLI Agent** | OpenCode, Claude Code, Codex in a container | Computer use, sandbox isolation, SKILL ecosystem |
| **Pure Hook** | Your own TypeScript code | Deterministic logic, routing, menu flows — no AI needed |
All three share the same Hook interface. You can mix them freely — route some requests through the LLM, handle others with pure code, all inside a single `Create Hook`.

## Features
### Autonomous Agent Framework
### Agent Framework
Build agents that work like real team members:
- **Three Trigger Modes** — Clock (scheduled), Human (email/message), Event (webhook/database)
- **Six-Phase Execution** — Inspiration → Goals → Tasks → Run → Deliver → Learn
- **Multi-Agent Orchestration** — Agents delegate, collaborate, and compose dynamically
- **Continuous Learning** — Agents accumulate experience in private knowledge bases
### Native MCP Support
Integrate tools without writing adapters:
- **Process Transport** — Map Yao processes directly to MCP tools
- **External Servers** — Connect via SSE or STDIO
- **Schema Mapping** — Declarative input/output schemas
### Built-in GraphRAG
- **Vector Search** — Embeddings with OpenAI/FastEmbed
- **Knowledge Graph** — Entity-relationship retrieval
- **Hybrid Search** — Combine vector similarity with graph traversal
- **TypeScript Hooks**`Create` and `Next` hooks intercept every request; built-in V8 engine
- **Native MCP Support** — Connect tools via process, SSE, or STDIO transport
- **Memory API** — Four scopes: request-level, session, user, team
- **Multi-Agent** — Delegate to specialist agents or call agents in parallel
- **CLI Agent / Sandbox** — Run Claude Code (or other CLI runners) in an isolated container with VNC desktop support
- **Skills Ecosystem** — Drop reusable capability packs (`SKILL.md`) into any CLI Agent
### Full-Stack Runtime
Everything in a single executable:
- **All-in-One** — Data, API, Agent, UI in one engine
- **TypeScript Support** — Built-in V8 engine
- **Single Binary** — No Node.js, Python, or containers required
- **Edge-Ready** — Runs on ARM64/x64 devices
- **Data Models** — Define database tables and relations in JSON/YAML
- **REST APIs** — Map routes to model queries or TypeScript processors
- **SUI Pages** — Component-based web UI with server-side rendering
- **Chat UI (CUI)** — Built-in conversation interface for agents
- **TypeScript** — Built-in V8 engine; no Node.js required
- **Single Binary** — Runs on ARM64/x64; no Python, Node, or containers needed on the host
### Built-in Search
- **Vector Search** — Embeddings with OpenAI or FastEmbed
- **Knowledge Graph** — Entity-relationship retrieval
- **GraphRAG** — Hybrid vector + graph search

## About the Name
Yao (爻, yáo) is the fundamental symbol in the I Ching — the building block of the eight trigrams. Like a binary digit, it has two states. Their combinations describe the patterns of everything.

[English](README.md)
YAO 是一款开源应用引擎,使用 Golang 编写,以一个命令行工具的形式存在, 下载即用。适合用于开发业务系统、网站/APP API 接口、管理后台、自建低代码平台等。
---
YAO 采用 flow-based 的编程模式,通过编写 YAO DSL (JSON 格式逻辑描述) 或使用 JavaScript 编写处理器,实现各种功能。 YAO DSL 可以有多种编写方式:
## 工作原理
1. 纯手工编写
Yao Agent 本质上是一个**笼子,而不是动物**。放进去的东西决定行为,笼子保证可控。
2. 使用自动化脚本,根据上下文逻辑生成
每个请求都经过同一套管道:
3. 使用可视化编辑器,通过“拖拉拽”制作
![Pipeline](docs/pipeline.png)
官网: [https://yaoapps.com](https://yaoapps.com)
`Create Hook` 在执行器前运行 —— 注入上下文、施加约束、路由请求。
`Next Hook` 在执行器后运行 —— 校验输出、触发下游动作、驱动多步循环。
**AI 负责干活,你来划定边界。**
文档: [https://yaoapps.com/doc](https://yaoapps.com/doc)
### 三种模式
## 最新版本下载安装 (推荐)
| 模式 | 执行器 | 适用场景 |
|------|--------|---------|
| **LLM** | OpenAI、Anthropic 等 | 对话助手、问答、内容生成 |
| **CLI Agent** | 容器中的 OpenCode、Claude Code、Codex | Computer Use、沙箱隔离、SKILL 生态 |
| **纯 Hook** | 你自己的 TypeScript 代码 | 确定性逻辑、菜单路由、无需 AI 的业务流程 |
https://github.com/YaoApp/xgen-dev-app
三种模式共享同一套 Hook 接口,可以自由混合 —— 在一个 `Create Hook` 里,部分请求走 LLM部分用纯代码处理。

一个二进制文件包含所有能力:
Yao 基于 **flow-based** 编程思想,采用 **Go** 语言开发,支持多种方式扩展数据流处理器。这使得 Yao 具有极好的**通用性**,大部分场景下可以代替编程语言, 在复用性和编码效率上是传统编程语言的 **10 倍**;应用性能和资源占比上优于 **PHP**, **JAVA** 等语言。
- **数据模型** — 用 JSON/YAML 定义数据库表和关联关系
- **REST API** — 将路由映射到模型查询或 TypeScript 处理器
- **SUI 页面** — 组件化 Web UI支持服务端渲染
- **Chat UICUI** — 内置对话界面,开箱即用
- **TypeScript** — 内置 V8 引擎,不依赖 Node.js
- **单一二进制** — 支持 ARM64/x64宿主机无需 Python、Node 或容器
Yao 内置了一套数据管理系统,通过编写 **JSON** 描述界面布局,即可实现 90% 常见界面交互功能特别适合快速制作各类管理后台、CRM、ERP 等企业内部系统。对于特殊交互功能亦可通过编写扩展组件或 HTML 页面的方式实现。内置管理系统与 Yao 并不耦合,亦可采用 **VUE**, **React** 等任意前端技术实现管理界面。

## 关于 Yao
Yao 的名字源于汉字**爻(yáo)**,是构成八卦的基本符号。八卦,是上古大神伏羲观测总结自然规律后,创造的一个可以指代万事万物的符号体系。爻,有阴阳两种状态,就像 0 和 1。爻的阴阳转换驱动八卦更替以此来总结记录事物的发展规律。
