SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This parity skill identifies drift and divergence between Gormes and Hermes/Honcho, enabling bounded, source-backed sweeps to align behavior and route work to the smallest applicable subskill.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Bounded parity sweeps against active upstream contracts and Gormes surfaces to validate alignment.
  • Evidence-bound routing: collect upstream evidence and delegate, isolate tasks to specialized subskills.
  • Auto-selection of parity passes (survey, row-shaping, stale-upstream, implemented-feature reconciliation, handoff) for incremental improvements.

Quick Start

Invoke gormes-hermes-parity to start a bounded parity pass against Hermes/Honcho and route follow-up work to the smallest applicable subskill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect drift between Gormes and Hermes or Honcho behavior atoms?

Run bounded, source-backed parity sweeps against active Hermes sources to identify drift between Gormes and Hermes/Honcho. This validates alignment across behavior atoms, upstream contracts, and progress rows, routing follow-up work to the smallest applicable subskill.

What is a bounded parity sweep for upstream contract validation?

A bounded parity sweep is a source-backed validation pass comparing Gormes surfaces against active Hermes sources. It uses defined pass types including survey, row-shaping, stale-upstream-check, and implemented-feature-reconciliation to collect evidence and isolate tasks.

How do I route parity discovery tasks to specialized subskills?

Route parity discovery tasks by collecting upstream evidence during the sweep and delegating the isolated work to the smallest applicable subskill. The sweep auto-selects pass types to generate a concise task packet for downstream implementation.

Do I need active Hermes sources to run a parity sweep?

Yes, running a bounded parity sweep requires access to active Hermes sources like ./hermes-agent, exact upstream refs, and canonical parity artifacts. These provide the source-backed evidence needed for validation and task routing.

What pass types are available for reconciling implemented features and checking stale upstreams?

Available pass types include survey, row-shaping, stale-upstream-check, implemented-feature-reconciliation, and handoff. The sweep auto-selects the appropriate pass to validate alignment and generate a downstream task packet.

What are the limitations of running parity sweeps without exact upstream refs?

Without exact upstream refs and canonical parity artifacts, the sweep cannot perform source-backed validation or accurately route tasks. The mechanism requires active Hermes sources and exact refs to produce a reliable downstream task packet.
