This project offers a "Control Room" template for managing Hermes AI agents, enabling users to scale from single agents to orchestrated teams. It acts as a central hub for documentation, configuration, and operational management, providing a structured path for agent deployment and workflow automation. It's ideal for users treating AI agents like an operating system, benefiting from organized, scalable infrastructure.

How It Works

The core concept is establishing a "side control plane" (the Agent Control Room) before deploying agents. This control plane houses documentation, runbooks, registry, and configuration templates. The architecture scales through defined levels: Level 1 (Control Room + one agent), Level 2 (direct specialist agents), Level 3 (an optional orchestrator agent), and Level 4 (automated teams). A "Task Bus" pattern facilitates delegation between the orchestrator and specialists.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Setup Options: Agent-driven (point agent at repo, use setup-control-room skill), Manual (SSH into Ubuntu/Debian VPS, clone repo, follow docs/starter-guide.md), or Skill Bootstrap (use setup-control-room locally with SSH alias).
• Prerequisites: VPS (Hetzner recommended), Node.js, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Docker, Hermes Agent. Ubuntu/Debian for manual setup.
• Links: docs/starter-guide.md, skills/setup-control-room/.

Highlighted Details

• Bundled Skills: Utilities for VPS creation (create-vps), control room setup (setup-control-room), agent management (agent-control-room, agent-registry-manager), task routing (agent-task-router), backups (agent-backup-manager), and security audits (agent-security-auditor).
• Layered Architecture: Supports scaling via Levels 1-4, promoting a "control room first" methodology.
• Runtime Separation: Enforces clear distinction between control plane (docs, templates) and live agent runtime state (logs, memory).
• Security Focus: Strict "never commit raw secrets" policy, storing only secret metadata.

Limitations & Caveats

This is a template requiring a Hermes agent for execution. It assumes familiarity with agent workflows and infrastructure management. Actual setup and execution depend on the agent's capabilities and user interaction. No specific bugs or alpha status were mentioned.
