Echo Core

AI-powered personal assistant bot with Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp bridges. Uses Claude Code CLI for conversation, with persistent sessions, cron scheduling, semantic memory search, and heartbeat monitoring.

Quick Start

# Interactive setup wizard (recommended for first install)
bash setup.sh

The wizard handles prerequisites, virtual environment, bridge tokens, config, and systemd services in 10 guided steps.

Manual Setup

# 1. Create venv and install dependencies
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

# 2. Store Discord token in keyring
./cli.py secrets set discord_token

# 3. Edit config.json (bot name, owner ID, channels)

# 4. Start
systemctl --user start echo-core

  • Discord: slash commands via discord.py
  • Telegram: commands + inline keyboards via python-telegram-bot
  • WhatsApp: Node.js Baileys bridge + Python polling adapter
  • All three run concurrently in the same asyncio event loop

Key Components

cli.py CLI tool — status, doctor, logs, secrets, cron, etc.
setup.sh Interactive 10-step setup wizard
bridge/whatsapp/ Node.js WhatsApp bridge (Baileys + Express)

CLI Usage

The setup wizard installs eco as a global command (~/.local/bin/eco):

eco status                   # Bot online/offline, uptime
eco doctor                   # Full diagnostic check
eco restart                  # Restart the service
eco restart --bridge         # Restart bot + WhatsApp bridge
eco stop                     # Stop the service
eco logs                     # Tail echo-core.log (last 20 lines)
eco logs 50                  # Last 50 lines
eco secrets list             # Show stored credentials
eco secrets set <name>       # Store a secret in keyring
eco secrets test             # Check required secrets
eco sessions list            # Active Claude sessions
eco sessions clear           # Clear all sessions
eco channel list             # Registered Discord channels
eco cron list                # Show scheduled jobs
eco cron run <name>          # Force-run a cron job
eco memory search "<query>"  # Semantic search in memory
eco memory reindex           # Rebuild search index
eco heartbeat                # Run health checks
eco whatsapp status          # WhatsApp bridge connection
eco whatsapp qr              # QR code pairing instructions
eco send <alias> <message>   # Send message via router

Configuration

config.json — runtime configuration:

{
  "bot": {
    "name": "Echo",
    "default_model": "opus",
    "owner": "DISCORD_USER_ID",
    "admins": ["TELEGRAM_USER_ID"]
  },
  "channels": { },
  "telegram_channels": { },
  "whatsapp": {
    "enabled": true,
    "bridge_url": "http://127.0.0.1:8098",
    "owner": "PHONE_NUMBER"
  },
  "whatsapp_channels": { }
}

Secrets (Discord/Telegram tokens) are stored in the system keyring, not in config files.

Services

Echo Core runs as systemd user services:

systemctl --user start echo-core              # Start bot
systemctl --user start echo-whatsapp-bridge   # Start WA bridge
systemctl --user status echo-core             # Check status
journalctl --user -u echo-core -f             # Follow logs

Requirements

  • Python 3.12+
  • Claude Code CLI
  • Node.js 22+ (only for WhatsApp bridge)
