# Must-b — Professional Autonomous AI Operating System

**Must-b** is a locally hosted, enterprise-grade autonomous AI agent platform. It transforms AI from a passive chatbot into an active digital workforce that operates directly on your machine — planning, executing, and iterating without manual intervention.

## Features

**Autonomous Agent Swarms**
Must-b decomposes high-level goals into parallel execution graphs and spawns specialized sub-agents (PM, Frontend, Backend, QA) that coordinate natively. You give the goal — Must-b handles the rest.

**GhostGuard — System Resource Protection**
Built-in RAM and CPU watchdog. GhostGuard continuously monitors system health, enforces per-tool resource limits, and automatically throttles or defers heavy operations when memory pressure is high — keeping your machine stable during long-running tasks.

**Infinite LTM Memory with Context Compaction**
Must-b never forgets. Episodic and semantic memories are stored in a local vector database. When memory grows large, GhostGuard triggers automatic compaction — old entries are summarized and compressed into semantic nodes rather than deleted. Full context is always available via TF-IDF cosine search.

**NightOwl — Background Execution**
Schedule tasks to run silently in the background. Must-b can execute multi-step workflows overnight and deliver results by morning with no supervision required.

**8-Language Interface**
Full UI and agent language support for English, Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Japanese, and Chinese.

**57+ Embedded Skills**
Ships with a production-ready skill library covering terminal automation, filesystem management, web search, browser control, code analysis, GitHub operations, MetaTrader 5 finance bridge, and more.
