Buddy v1.0 (Redacted Public Release)

Buddy is a lightweight local agent designed for task execution, orchestration, and simulation workflows. It listens for instructions from a local Flask server, executes them, and returns output — acting as a foundation for more complex workflows.

✂️ What Happened to the Cool Stuff?

There used to be some cool stuff here, but it has been redacted for ethical concerns 😔
Certain features interacted with online services in ways that might raise eyebrows. Those features have been surgically removed from this release to keep everything squeaky clean.

If you're reading this, you're likely reviewing the project for collaboration, contribution, or portfolio purposes. What remains is the core logic, architecture, and philosophy behind a broader autonomous system called Testbed.

🧠 Core Components

• exec_handler.py – executes system instructions from the queue
• tag_listener.py, tag_grabber.py – extracts or tracks relevant tags from input/output
• log_server.py – simple Flask API for instruction polling and result capture
• /buddy_extension/ – previously housed extension logic (now redacted)
• requirements.txt – minimal dependencies (mostly just Flask)

🚀 Setup & Usage

1. Clone the Repo

git clone https://github.com/Detin1990/Buddy_alpha1.0.git
cd Buddy_alpha1.0

2. Install Dependencies

pip install flask

3. Run the Flask Server

python log_server.py

4. Start the Buddy Agent

python exec_handler.py

Buddy will begin polling for tasks and executing them locally.

---

🧪 Example Workflow

1. You send a task (like echo Hello World) to the server
2. Buddy retrieves the task
3. It runs the task and logs the output
4. Server receives and stores the result

You now have a basic decision-execution loop that can be extended or sandboxed to suit your goals.
