ContentForge: automation for Hermes Agent

Editorial production system that researches, verifies, drafts and delivers long-form content with review

What ContentForge does

The /contentforge:create-content command runs a 10-phase pipeline for each topic and produces a publication-ready .docx, with a 43-pattern humanizer, a fact-checker subagent, three-category internal linking and C2PA provenance. The README counts 22 skills, 13 specialist agents, 10 quality gates and 29 Python scripts, and puts each piece at 30 to 60 minutes.

Beyond a single draft, a lifecycle loop measures published pieces with cf-aeo-check and audits them for decay with cf-audit, feeding the results into the next calendar and brief through file contracts. A run auditor re-derives every gate before a run may be marked finished. Version 4.5.0 states that nothing installs itself: a missing Python package prints the exact pinned command, and CONTENTFORGE_INSTALL_DEPS=1 consents for one run. Supported hosts listed include Claude Code, Cowork, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI, Antigravity, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw and Grok.
