- **HyperParams Protocol**: Open-source protocol for agent validation and performance tuning.  
- **Token Prediction Plugin**: Reinforcement learning framework for token predictions.  
- **Safe Validator Plugin**: AI agent for reviewing Safe multisig transactions.  
- **Unreal Engine Plugin**: Enables communication between Unreal Engine and Eliza instances.  
- **Nostr Plugin for Tech Support Bot**: Planned for tech-support automation.  

## **Recent Fixes & Improvements**  
- **ESLint Fixes**: All issues resolved in PR #2143.  
- **Instagram Image Upload**: Fixed, but a better system is suggested.  
- **Solana Plugin Fixes**: Improved functionality.  
- **WhatsApp Chat to Character Conversion**: `chats2character.js` generates character schemas.  
- **Memory Leak Fix**: OOM bug fixed in v0.25.8.  
- **Distributed Storage Plugin**: PR submitted for integration.  

## **Plugin & Integration Issues**  
### **Twitter Client Issues**  
- **Problem**: `@elizaos/client-twitter` module not found.  
- **Solution**: Install via `pnpm add @elizaos/client-twitter` and check `package.json`.  

### **Twitter Image Posting Issue**  
- **Problem**: 'media parameter is missing' error.  
- **Solution**: Ensure correct image file handling.  

### **Web Search Plugin Not Triggering**  
- **Problem**: Plugin registers but does not execute.  
- **Solution**: Verify `TAVILY_API_KEY` and clear agent data.  

### **RAG Knowledge System Issues**  
- **Problem**: Agent does not use `.md` knowledge files.  
- **Solution**: Ensure files are in `characters/knowledge/[agent-name]`. `.pdf` not supported.  

### **Hosting on VPS**  
- **Problem**: Agent stops running when inactive.  
- **Solution**: Use `pm2` (`pm2 start pnpm -- start`).  

### **Deferred Execution of Actions**  
- **Problem**: No built-in scheduling.  
- **Solution**: Use `setTimeout` in action handler. Built-in scheduling suggested.  

### **Telegram API Token**  
- **Problem**: No clear documentation.  
- **Solution**: Use [BotFather](https://telegram.me/BotFather) to generate a token.  

### **Plugin Installation Issues**  
- **Problem**: Users struggling with installation.  
- **Solution**: Use `npx elizaos plugins install @elizaos-plugins/[plugin-name]` and verify with `npx elizaos plugins list`.  

## **FAQ (Common Questions & Answers)**  
1. **How do I install a plugin?** Use `npx elizaos plugins add <plugin-name>`.  
2. **Why is my Twitter agent not working?** Ensure Twitter is added as a plugin, not a client. Check API credentials.  
3. **How do I enable RAG knowledge?** Ensure correct directory structure (`characters/agent-name/knowledge/`).  
4. **How do I run ElizaOS with a local LLM?** Use `plugin-local-ai` and set `USE_LOCAL_AI=true` in `.env`.  
5. **How do I prevent Twitter bans?** Mark the account as automated and avoid excessive posting.  
6. **How do I improve tweet formatting?** Enhance character file details and use a better LLM (Anthropic, Llama 405).
