OCTO — the open workplace built for humans × AI agents.
Let Lobsters (OpenClaw-powered digital doubles) do the thinking and doing. You focus on taste.

The Go foundation library that every OCTO backend service builds on — protocol, crypto, storage, HTTP, logging, event bus.
octo-lib is the shared Go module at the bottom of the OCTO backend stack. It
contains the protocol types, cryptographic primitives, storage adapters, HTTP
helpers, worker pool, and event-bus code that octo-server, octo-matter, and
the adapters layer all import rather than re-implement.
- One protocol surface. All OCTO services speak the same message / channel / stream types — defined once, here. No silent drift between services.
- Batteries included, dependencies minimal. RSA / AES / DH / SHA crypto, SSRF-safe URL validation, MySQL / Redis / SQLite adapters, a zap-based structured logger, and a Webhook gRPC client are all a single
importaway. - Stable, versioned Go module. Consumed as a regular
go getdependency; SemVer-tagged; no vendoring required, no magic code generation at build time.
go get github.com/Mininglamp-OSS/octo-libThen in your Go code:
import (
"github.com/Mininglamp-OSS/octo-lib/pkg/log"
"github.com/Mininglamp-OSS/octo-lib/pkg/util"
)
func main() {
log.Info("hello octo")
id := util.GenUUID()
log.Info("new id: " + id)

OCTO ships under three shared principles that apply to every repository in this matrix:
- Local-first. Anything that can run on the user's own box — chats, embeddings, agents — should. Your data stays yours; cloud is a choice, not a requirement.
- Humans judge, AI thinks and acts. Humans focus on taste (what matters, what's right, what to ship). Lobster agents — OpenClaw-powered digital doubles — carry the thinking and execution load.
- Release-as-product. Every open-source cut is shipped as a self-contained product, not a code dump: one squash per release, Apache 2.0, no internal baggage, reproducible from this repo alone.
