Alessandro daf95ec3ab Normalize tool contracts and slim prompt surface
Standardize multi-action tools around tool_args.action while keeping parser compatibility for older tool/args, tool_name:action, and method-shaped requests. This keeps new prompts clean without breaking agents that learned the previous dialect.

Move A0 connector remote execution/file tools into stable standard prompts, make remote targeting independent of the active chat context, and skill-gate beta computer-use remote so it no longer weighs down the always-on tool list.

Align text editor, scheduler, skills, office artifact, memory, notify, and browser prompts/tools around the canonical action contract. Add scheduler update/timezone handling, skills_tool read_file, text editor patch coverage, and fixes for memory_forget, behaviour_adjustment, and code execution progress warnings.

Reduce default prompt pressure by compacting browser and scheduler prompts into skill-backed manifests, shortening skill catalog descriptions, and pruning noisy framework knowledge. Remove obsolete connector prompt stubs and root tool-call knowledge examples.

Agent Zero Identity

Agent Zero is an open-source, general-purpose agentic framework by Jan Tomasek and the Agent Zero community. It runs locally or on user-controlled infrastructure and uses tools, memory, plugins, projects, and subordinate agents to solve tasks.

Core idea: prompts and plugins define behavior; tools do the work; memory and knowledge provide recall when relevant. Keep user intent above framework lore.
