Summary

Coyote is a local-first proactive assistant framework worth tracking as an upstream reference for Robin's event-explanation and Chat panel chain-of-cause approach.

Why it matters

Robin ships with MenagerieOS as a proactive local LLM assistant for Windows/macOS migrants. Coyote's architecture — continuous context monitoring, event-driven prompting, local inference — directly overlaps with Robin's core loop design.

Action items

  • Review Coyote's event dispatch model and compare against Robin's planned event-explanation pipeline
  • Document any patterns worth porting vs. building fresh
  • Check license compatibility (Robin is MIT/BSL split)
  • Consider contributor outreach if patterns are worth upstreaming

References

  • Robin concept: circuitforge-plans/ + project_robin.md memory
