Komagon/hermes-production-patterns

Engineering patterns, starter kits and an hpp CLI for running Hermes Agent reliably around the clock

In short

Hermes Production Patterns is a library of engineering conventions, starter kits and audit tools for running Hermes Agent in long-lived setups. It covers reliable skills, cron jobs, state files and output checks.

What Hermes Production Patterns does

Hermes Production Patterns is a collection of engineering patterns, conventions and templates for running Hermes Agent reliably in long-running, unattended setups. Version 2.0 added six starter kits that are copied and run, five opinionated production stacks, a ten-minute quick start, seven full recipes, a production audit specification with a readiness score, a compatibility matrix and an hpp command-line tool with init, add, validate, audit and doctor commands.

The patterns cover writing reliable skills, keeping cron jobs from drifting, checking output quality, keeping task state in files such as STATE.md, and handling errors without flooding the context. Each pattern carries a maturity label: battle-tested, beta or experimental. A set of 36 regression prompts in test-prompts.json and a STATE.md validation script run in CI. Later releases added a decision-contract convention and notes on Hermes capabilities including browser automation, a QQ Bot gateway and kanban tools. The README is bilingual, Chinese and English.
