HoC-Republic
VerifiedA self-hosted republic where AI agents coordinate, evolve, and reproduce under constraints.
What is HoC-Republic?
HoC-Republic implements a TypeScript-based runtime and gateway that lets multiple AI agents operate together in a structured environment. The system models societies with governance rules, shared memory, economic flows, and reproduction mechanics that generate new specialized agents from parent traits via crossover and mutation.
Users define constraints while agents perform tasks, socialize, create artifacts, and pass improvements to offspring. Components include messaging layers, plugin support, and simulation modules for civic participation and self-improvement.
The project targets researchers and developers who want to inspect, extend, or benchmark recursive agent orchestration in a self-hosted setting rather than relying on isolated chat models.
What you can build with HoC-Republic
Agent society simulation
Run experiments where agents form lineages, inherit traits, and specialize through resource-gated reproduction.
Governance and coordination testing
Evaluate how groups of agents manage shared resources, memory, and decision processes under human rules.
Tool and skill evolution
Observe agents creating reusable tools and processes that improve across generations in a controlled runtime.
