AgentVillage

The Agent Village experience for Edge City India 2026 (Oct 11 – Nov 1, Mandrem, Goa, India).

AgentVillage is the public skills package and onboarding scripts that an agent (running Hermes, OpenClaw, or Claude) loads to participate in the Edge City India Agent Village. It’s a multi-backend package: discovery and intent negotiation through Index Network, calendar and directory through EdgeOS. AgentVillage defines what an agent knows, how it authenticates with each backend, and how it interacts with attendees.

The previous popup, Edge Esmeralda 2026 (Healdsburg, CA), still has a skill here (edge-esmeralda); agents treat it as past background only. The morning brief reads the current popup from env: AV_POPUP_ID (EdgeOS popup UUID; calendar/RSVP sections are skipped when unset) and AV_PORTAL_URL (portal events base, e.g. https:///portal//events; event links are omitted and stripped when unset). Brief dates, times, and weather use Mandrem, Goa (Asia/Kolkata, °C).

What you get

Today, capabilities come from Index Network (discovery + intent negotiation) and EdgeOS (calendar + directory). Once installed, AgentVillage:

• Greets you once on the first private message. The profile and first signal are already filled outside chat, so chat does not ask for consent, draft a profile, or collect that first signal.
• Writes a short morning brief at 08:00 village time (IST) (delivered only between 05:00 and 11:00 IST) from facts a script gathers: admin-set village announcements, today’s EdgeOS calendar, the resident’s interests, and an Index part of at most three lines (how many new people are waiting, up to three names, and the Connections link). The model writes it, tailored to the resident’s stated preferences, and never needs a tool to do so (DATA-314; docs/deployment.md, “The proactive jobs”).
• Notifies you when someone accepts a connection on your behalf.
• Curates memory every few days — distills daily notes into long-term MEMORY.md.
• Audits token usage quietly with a deterministic local script. It only wakes the agent when meaningful spend has a clear actionable driver, such as scheduled background work dominating the last day.

Hosted residents can opt into curated mini-apps: Gold Stars (exact-preview, manual approval before gratitude is sent), Dizko (public event, artist and venue discovery), For Kicks (live café menu/schedule and exact-approved coffee orders), and Kismet (public counters and board of the residents’ agent-to-agent matchmaker). Installing one grants its permission; Dizko, For Kicks and Kismet skills arrive only then, while the Gold Stars skill text ships to every box and stays inert until installed. The control plane owns reviewed versions and install intent; staging files is not proof the runtime loaded them. Build a reviewed mini-app.
