Agent event infrastructure, without the noise.

Short, practical writing on event layers, delivery channels, OpenClaw setup, and making agents proactive without wasteful polling.

OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, and Codex-style agents around shared event infrastructure.Agent infrastructure

What agent builders are learning from OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, and Codex

The 2026 assistant stack is converging on the same pain points: context cost, handoff, permissions, local delivery, and reliable interrupts.

The event layer is becoming agent infrastructure

Why proactive agents need an event layer between raw app streams and expensive reasoning turns.
