Hermes Council

What Hermes Council does

The repository description presents Hermes Council as a multi-agent debate system for Hermes Agent: it spawns custom-composed expert agents that debate a question in structured rounds and produce visible transcripts and a synthesized recommendation, using a SKILL.md and no new infrastructure.

The current README is narrower. It describes a plugin foundation packaged as the hermes-agent-council distribution, which exposes a hermes-council entry point in the hermes_agent.plugins group. Hermes discovers the entry point and calls the package-level register(ctx) function when the plugin is enabled. The README states that protocol behavior is landing in follow-up issues and that the foundation does not yet provide council behavior, commands, tools, storage or inference. The package is not published to PyPI, so it is installed from a local checkout.
