Conclusion status
No confirmed conclusion exists for this pair. The evidence below is presented for transparency; a relationship conclusion requires a human review that has not happened, or a previous decision no longer matches the current evidence.
Evidence suggests openvoiceos/ovos-core is a fork of mycroftai/mycroft-core. Human review required before publication.
Seed context: Carry-forward from 2026-10-16 research; NOT APPROVED. The original Mycroft core README says it is no longer maintained and names OpenVoiceOS as its spiritual successor. The OpenVoiceOS README says Mycroft is now-defunct and that OpenVoiceOS continues that work. GitHub repository identities are distinct: MycroftAI/mycroft-core ID 59299524; OpenVoiceOS/ovos-core ID 340058160. GitHub metadata identifies ovos-core as an unarchived fork whose parent is the exact Mycroft repository; fork metadata is supporting identity evidence, while the successor relation is based on the explicit maintenance and handoff statements. Latest verified target activity from 2026-10-16: default branch commit 8ca3cda026a9e018cf10bac3e6cafe26fca29302 dated 2026-10-08T19:33:31Z.
