Agent Data Hub v0.1.8

Agent Data Hub v0.1.8

Agent Data Hub v0.1.8 is a small Hub View usability release for the local-first
technical preview.

It does not add a new memory model, hosted service, autonomous agent execution,
or write path. The release turns the visible agent handoff page into a clearer
setup flow: choose the agent, follow one setup card, then check whether the
handoff is visible.

What Changed

Connect Your Agent

• The agent-context page now starts the setup area with Connect your agent.
• The setup flow shows three explicit steps:
  • choose the agent
  • connect once where possible
  • check the handoff
• The page keeps the honest boundary: Hub View creates setup material and
  reviewed context for the agent; it never runs an agent by itself.

Agent Picker

• The page now has a Choose your agent picker with direct links for:
  • Chatbot
  • Codex
  • Claude Code
  • Hermes/custom agent
  • Other MCP-compatible agent
  • Terminal fallback
• Each picker card says what kind of setup is expected: copy/paste, one local
  click, one copied command, persistent rule, MCP config, or temporary terminal
  run.

Handoff Check

• A new Check the handoff block explains what the user should look for after
  setup.
• Chatbots should receive the copied text before the task.
• Local agents should show an ADH Context Loaded receipt or equivalent
  counts at task start.
• The terminal fallback remains clearly labelled as temporary and not the normal
  automation path.

Recommended First Run

From a fresh folder:

git clone https://github.com/AlexanderSmyslowski/central-agent-data-hub.git
cd central-agent-data-hub
scripts/first_run_demo.sh

Then open Hub View and use:

1. Use ADH with an agent
2. Prepare agent handoff
3. Connect your agent
4. Choose your agent
5. Check the handoff

For a phone preview on the same trusted Wi-Fi:

scripts/first_run_demo.sh --mobile

Verification

This release was checked with:

git diff --check
bash -n scripts/*.sh
.venv/bin/python -m compileall agent_hub
.venv/bin/python -m pytest -q
scripts/smoke_public_demo.sh
.venv/bin/python -m agent_hub.cli status
.venv/bin/python -m agent_hub.cli check

A short first-run observation confirmed that a tester can find Connect your
agent, use Choose your agent, understand Connection verification, and
explain Check the handoff.

Boundaries

• no schema change
• no migration
• no new dependency
• no new Hub-memory write path
• no autonomous agent execution
• no hosted service
• no MCP write tools
• no authentication or role system

Release Position

v0.1.8 is suitable for evaluating whether Agent Data Hub can guide a first-time
user from "I can see reviewed memory" to "I know how to hand this context to my
agent and how to check the handoff."

It remains a technical preview. The release improves orientation and
verification language; it does not guarantee that an unconfigured external agent
used the context.
