AIOS: multi-agent tool for Hermes Agent

Local-first control plane adding project memory, agent teams and verification around coding agents

What AIOS does

AIOS targets long-horizon coding work that falls apart between sessions. It adds cross-session project memory called ContextDB, adaptive workflow routing, multi-agent teams, resumable overnight runs, and evidence envelopes that record commands, exit codes, hashes and test output under .aios/. The README says it is not another agent framework: your agent stays as it is, and everything runs locally.

The supported agents it lists are Codex CLI, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Hermes, Grok, WorkBuddy, Pi and ZCode. After installing, aios init --all is run from a project root, and aios doctor --native --verbose reports what was detected, synced or skipped. Memory can be searched with aios memo search. The installer also detects RTK and Caveman, two local tools that compress command and agent output, and wires the Headroom MCP. Documentation is published in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Key features

ContextDB project memory that persists across sessions and is searchable with aios memo search
Adaptive routing of work to the simplest workable path
Multi-agent teams that split work in parallel and keep coupled changes in order
Resumable long runs with checkpoints
Evidence envelopes stored under .aios/ for each run
aios doctor reports what was detected, synced or skipped

When to use it

Giving a coding agent memory of last week's decisions when it starts a refactor
Splitting a PR review and test update across several agents and collecting the evidence
Letting a release handoff run overnight and resume if it is interrupted

Who it is for: Developers who use one or more coding agents, including Hermes, and want shared memory and verification without changing their client.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

A general tool that supports Hermes among about ten coding agents. The README names Hermes in its list of supported clients but gives no Hermes-specific setup.

FAQ

What is AIOS?

AIOS is a local-first control plane for long-horizon coding agents. It adds project memory, workflow routing, multi-agent teams, resumable runs and verification evidence around the agent you already use.

Does AIOS work with Hermes Agent?

Yes. The README lists Hermes among the agents AIOS runs on top of, next to Codex CLI, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and others.

How do I install AIOS?

On macOS or Linux, run the install script from the latest GitHub release, reload your shell, then run aios init --all from a project root. A PowerShell installer is provided for Windows.
