Hermes Multi-Agent Workflow

What Hermes Multi-Agent Workflow does

Hermes Multi-Agent Workflow is a skeleton for an autonomous triage pipeline built on Hermes Agent. A fleet of agents detects items from sources, removes duplicates, scores them against a rubric, researches them in parallel and routes each to a fulfillment path. The pipeline then stops at a human gate where you approve, shelve or modify, and approved items are fulfilled and delivered. Everything is coordinated on one Hermes Kanban board.

The shape of the pipeline is fixed, and what flows through it is yours: all domain-specific settings live in triage.yaml, with markdown templates for paths, scope rails and scout skills. The engine is a Python package with config loading, scoring, routing, dedup, an item vault and a Kanban store, and a CLI validates the config and prints the Hermes setup plan. It ships pre-wired as a worked example that finds pain points AI-agent users hit and builds a fix or an explainer video. The README is clear that it is a template, not a turnkey app.

Key features

• Pipeline from intake through dedup, scoring, parallel research and routing to a human approval gate
• Hermes Kanban board used as the coordination bus
• A single triage.yaml for sources, rubric, research lanes, route map, paths and roles
• Scout and orchestrator SKILL.md templates
• CLI commands to validate, scaffold, init and install
• A per-item cost report script and 12 generic tests

When to use it

• Adapt the pipeline to monitor a different source of leads or problems
• Put one approve, shelve or modify checkpoint between research and any outward action
• Study a complete worked Hermes multi-agent design before building your own

Who it is for: Developers who want a starting structure for a multi-agent Hermes pipeline with a human approval step.

How it fits with Hermes Agent

It is built on Hermes Agent: it coordinates work on the Hermes Kanban board, uses skill templates and Hermes profiles and crons, and its CLI prints a Hermes setup plan.

How to install Hermes Multi-Agent Workflow

These commands are copied from the project's README. Check the repository for the latest steps before you run them.

pip install -r requirements.txt
python -m cli.triage validate
python -m unittest discover -s tests
python -m cli.triage scaffold

Requirements: Python with PyYAML for the template itself; going live also needs a Hermes install, profiles, auth and scouts (see docs/07-runbook.md)

Note: The README states this is a template, not a turnkey app, and going live requires setting up Hermes, profiles, auth and scouts.
