Trinity

What Trinity does

Trinity takes design ideas from Claude Code and Hermes Agent and specifies how to add them to OpenClaw's TypeScript architecture, plugin system and channel framework. For Hermes, it analyzes the hermes-agent repository and lists features that OpenClaw lacks or does worse, grouped into seven improvement tracks. The README characterizes hermes-agent as a Python agent framework with a shared tool substrate exposed through CLI, gateway, ACP, MCP, batch and RL surfaces.

The analysis highlights SQLite session persistence with WAL and FTS5, a training and evaluation pipeline, supply-chain scanning of skills across 20+ threat categories, a tool set that includes browser automation and Mixture of Agents, plugin hooks around tool and LLM calls, and gateway coverage of 15+ messaging platforms including WeCom, DingTalk, Feishu and WeChat. Documents include the spec in English and Chinese, planning prompts, architecture decision records, a contributor guide, execution plans and a technical reference. The maintainer reports building OpenClaw from source and running it on Ubuntu 22.04.

• Companion track that brings Claude Code features into OpenClaw
• Architecture decision records, contributor guide, execution plans and technical reference
• English and Chinese versions of the main spec

When to use it

• Reading a structured analysis of hermes-agent's architecture
• Planning which Hermes features to port into OpenClaw

Who it is for: OpenClaw maintainers and agent-framework developers who want a written comparison of hermes-agent and OpenClaw.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

Not an add-on for Hermes Agent; it is an OpenClaw project that uses hermes-agent as a source of ideas and documents its architecture.

Note: The Hermes material is an analysis and specification for OpenClaw, not a tool you run inside Hermes Agent.
