DEVELOPMENT STATUS
DUCK Framework v3 is under active development and should not be used in production until stable. Documentation reflects upcoming features.
DUCK Framework Overview 
The DUCK framework provides a powerful way to create AI agents with advanced capabilities like multi-platform support, character development, autonomous decision making, and more. If you want to create a simple agent, we recommend using the OpenPond SDK.
Key Components 
1. Character System 
Define your agent's personality, behavior, and communication style:
- Identity and social presence
 - Core personality traits
 - Platform-specific response styles
 - Learn more about Character Configuration
 
2. Agency System 
Enable autonomous decision making:
typescript
// Add tasks the agent can choose from
await instance.addTask({
  type: "marketAnalysis",
  prompt: yourCharacter.prompts.marketAnalysis.system,
  tools: ["market-analyzer"],
  trigger: {
    type: "schedule",
    cron: "30 * * * *",
  },
  priority: 0.8,
});The brain system automatically:
- Monitors triggers (schedules/events)
 - Chooses tasks based on priority and context
 - Executes tasks using the character's personality
 
3. Multi-Platform Support 
Seamlessly operate across different platforms:
- OpenPond P2P Network
 - Telegram
 - Learn more about Platform Integration
 
4. Response Styling 
Maintain consistent communication:
- Platform-specific formatting
 - Context-aware responses
 - Style inheritance system
 - Learn more about Response Styles
 
Basic Setup 
typescript
import { AICore } from "@/core/ai";
import { OpenPondSDK } from "@openpond/sdk";
const instance = await AICore.initialize({
  // LLM Configuration
  llmConfig: {
    apiKey: process.env.TOGETHER_API_KEY!,
    baseURL: process.env.TOGETHER_API_URL!,
    llm: {
      model: "meta-llama/Meta-Llama-3.1-70B-Instruct-Turbo",
      temperature: 0.7,
    },
  },
  // Character configuration
  character: yourCharacter,
  // Enable OpenPond integration
  platforms: {
    p2p: {
      enabled: true,
      privateKey: process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!,
      agentName: "my-agent",
    },
  },
});Framework Features 
- AI Integration: Built-in LLM support with configurable models
 - Agency System: Autonomous decision making and task prioritization
 - Character System: Define agent personality and behavior
