Theo Rapid
Theo Rapid is the lightweight, ultra-fast engine used for autonomous skills, hooks, classifiers, and any background task where latency and cost matter more than depth.
In depth
Rapid is the workhorse for background work — heartbeats, hook executions, intent scoring, classifier calls, telegram replies. It’s constrained to short generations and small step counts.

Heartbeat
Heartbeat is Theo’s background loop that periodically evaluates your installed scheduled skills and workflows — checking their schedule, your quiet hours, and credit availability before running.
Hook
A hook is an event-driven trigger that runs Theo automatically when something happens — a project is created, a share is accepted, a task goes overdue, a forum reply lands.
Skill
A skill is an installable extension that gives Theo a new behavior — a domain prompt, custom tools, allowed base tools, and an optional trigger (manual, event, schedule, or keyword).
Intent Classifier
The Intent Classifier is the layer that decides which Theo mode a message belongs to — fast, think, code, image, video, social, learn, research, or others — using regex patterns plus a small AI scorer.
