K-2SO

Background task agent for your desktop. K-2SO is the brains — it plans, researches, and reports. Pair it with an MCP integration pack (like R2-D2) for local system tools.

OpenCode is a prerequisite, not bundled. Install and configure OpenCode yourself (provider, auth, ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json). K-2SO registers via sidecar files and never writes your OpenCode config.

What it does

• Accept instructions via CLI (k2so ask "...") over a Unix domain socket API
• Run tasks in the background through an OpenCode engine
• Stream progress to a local web dashboard — a persistent HTTP bridge at http://127.0.0.1:7780 (run via k2so dashboard, or the k2so-dashboard.service companion unit under R2-D2); k2so open opens it in your browser
• Queue work with configurable concurrency limits; prune old workspaces with k2so prune
• Remember context across tasks via local memory files (SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md, skills)

Requirements

• Node.js 20+
• OpenCode installed and configured with your LLM provider
• An MCP server for platform-specific tools (optional for testing)

Install

# 1. Install OpenCode and configure your provider (see docs/OPENCODE.md)
curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

# 2. Install K-2SO
npm install -g @5kyguy/k2so

# 3. Register K-2SO (markdown agent + memory seeds — no opencode.json edits)
k2so init

# 4. Run
k2so serve
k2so ask "Summarize what is in my Downloads folder"

Upgrading from the old install.sh model? Run k2so init --migrate-opencode to move the agent to ~/.config/opencode/agents/k2so.md and remove the legacy agent.k2so block from your config.

Full guide: docs/INSTALL.md. Health check: k2so doctor. Remove: k2so uninstall.

Memory

K-2SO is a companion that grows via local files in ~/.config/k2so/:

• Soul — persona (SOUL.md)
• User — model of you (USER.md)
• Memory — long-term facts (MEMORY.md)
• Skills — reusable procedures (skills/*.md)

k2so memory show
k2so memory edit user
k2so open    # open the dashboard (127.0.0.1:7780) in your browser

Details: docs/MEMORY.md.

Development

npm install
npm run build
node dist/cli.js init    # or: npm link && k2so init
k2so serve

Configuration

Profile path defaults to ~/.config/k2so/profile.toml. Override with K2SO_PROFILE.

See docs/OPENCODE.md and templates/ for profile and agent templates.

Changelog

See CHANGELOG.md or the GitHub Releases page.

R2-D2 integration

R2-D2 ships r2d2-mcp, Hyprland hotkeys, and voice ingress that call into K-2SO. K-2SO itself stays platform-agnostic.
