Klerik: automation for Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent profile that reviews other agent profiles' work against quality standards

What Klerik does

Klerik is a Hermes Agent profile that acts as the quality gate in a multi-agent setup. It reviews code, configs and outputs produced by other agent profiles and checks them against standards covering security, performance, style and correctness. It can run linters, tests and static analysis tools, and it verifies that an agent's output meets its stated requirements.

The profile is built around blocking rather than advising. When a check fails, Klerik refuses to approve the work, reports what failed and why, and asks for fixes. Behavior is set in ~/.hermes/profiles/klerik/config.yaml through strictness (lenient, standard or strict, default standard), required_checks (tests, lint, security, docs) and auto_block_on_failure (default true). The README places it between a builder profile called Chizul and deployment, with a profile called Senter able to dispatch review tasks to it. It is one profile in a fleet by the same author.
