ACS (Agnostic Config Suites): developer tool for Hermes Agent

Licensed skill system and local cockpit for coding agents including Claude Code, Hermes, Kiro and Codex

What ACS (Agnostic Config Suites) does

ACS ships as a single acs binary. According to its description it bundles more than 25 auto-activating skills covering spec-driven development, test-driven development, security review and architecture blueprints, installed for several agents at once. The CLI manages the local setup: acs setup initializes a workspace and agent rules, acs doctor --fix diagnoses and repairs the environment, and acs start launches background services and a dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:20130.

Other commands cover a scheduler, multi-account AI gateways, a load-balancing proxy across providers, a local kanban tracker and management of MCP servers. Updates come from the project's CDN with acs update. The README says prompt histories, metrics and configuration stay on the local machine. A valid commercial license is required to run it, activated with acs activate or acs login through GitHub.
