Zulip Platform Plugins — Domain Vocabulary

This document captures the shared language and architectural invariants for the multi-platform Zulip agent communication system.

Domain Terms

Term Definition
Agent An AI agent operating on a platform (Hermes/Agent Zero/PI/openclaw) that can receive and respond to Zulip messages
Adapter / Plugin A platform-native component that bridges Zulip events to the agent framework
@mention A Zulip mention (@**Tanko Bot**) that triggers the named agent to respond
@all-bots A dedicated Zulip bot user that, when @mentioned, triggers ALL agents across all platforms
Topic A Zulip conversation thread within a stream
Private topic An agent-named topic (e.g., tanko-private) where only the bot and its owner participate
Owner The human user associated with an agent bot, stored in per-agent config

Naming Conventions

  • Agent Zulip bot display names: lowercase, dash-separated, -bot suffix — e.g., tanko-bot, mumuni-bot
  • Agent Zulip bot emails: <name>@chat.sysloggh.net — e.g., tanko-bot@chat.sysloggh.net
  • Private topics: <agent-name>-private — e.g., tanko-private
  • Owner privacy: agent should never expose owner name to other agents or users

Agent Registry

Agent Platform Zulip Bot CT Private Topic
tanko Hermes (Python) tanko-bot amdpve CT 112 tanko-private
mumuni Hermes (Python) mumuni-bot minipve CT 114 mumuni-private
koonimo Hermes (Python) koonimo-bot amdpve CT 113 koonimo-private
koby Hermes (Python) koby-bot amdpve CT 111 koby-private
kagentz Agent Zero kagentz-bot amdpve CT 105 kagentz-private
abiba PI/openclaw (TypeScript) abiba-bot amdpve CT 100 abiba-private

@all-bots Resolution

@all-bots refers to all 6 agents across all frameworks (Hermes, Agent Zero, PI/openclaw). When @all-bots is mentioned in any topic:

  1. Each per-agent bot receives the event (since they all share narrow: stream agent-hub)
  2. Each bot checks: "Is All Bots in mentioned_users?"
  3. If yes, bot forwards the message to its agent
  4. @all-bots is a dedicated Zulip bot user with display name All Bots and email all-bots@chat.sysloggh.net

Response Rules

  • Own topic: Agent always responds (to its private topic)
  • Collaboration topic (any topic that isn't a private topic): Agent responds only when @mentioned
  • @all-bots: All agents respond
  • Private topics: Only the agent owner + bot are participants; bot enforces this

Monorepo Structure

All 3 platform plugins live in a single Gitea repository at git@192.168.68.17:homelab/zulip-platform-plugins.git

Guardian Directives

  • All destructive actions require user confirmation before execution
  • Plugin updates are version-controlled through Gitea
  • Config files are per-agent and pushed alongside code
