SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill allows you to launch independent, long-running AI agent processes, enabling parallel autonomous tasks and interactive collaboration with separate agent instances.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Subprocess Spawning: Create fully independent hermes CLI processes, distinct from the parent agent.
  • Mode Flexibility: Supports non-interactive one-shot queries (-q) for automated tasks and interactive PTY sessions for multi-turn collaboration.
  • Use Case: You need to research a complex topic, write a detailed report, and then have another agent set up a CI/CD pipeline for a project. You can spawn two separate Hermes agents, one for research and one for CI/CD, allowing them to work concurrently and independently.

Quick Start

Use the hermes-agent-spawning skill to launch a new hermes agent process in the background to research the latest AI advancements and save the findings to a file.

Frequently Asked Questions about hermes-agent-spawning

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I spawn an autonomous AI agent subprocess for long-running tasks?

To spawn an autonomous AI agent subprocess, you launch an independent Hermes process via the hermes-agent-spawning skill. This creates a separate agent with its own session, tools, and terminal environment for long-running concurrent work.

What is the difference between spawning an independent agent process and delegating a task?

Spawning an independent agent process creates a full separate Hermes CLI instance with its own session and terminal environment. Delegating a task runs within the existing parent agent context rather than launching an autonomous subprocess.

Can I run multiple Hermes agents in parallel for concurrent automated execution?

Yes, you can run multiple Hermes agents in parallel for concurrent automated execution. The skill supports spawning independent processes, allowing you to run research and CI/CD pipeline setup tasks simultaneously without interference.

How do I start an interactive PTY session for multi-turn collaboration with a spawned agent?

To start an interactive PTY session for multi-turn collaboration, use the hermes-agent-spawning skill to launch a Hermes process in interactive mode. This provides a separate terminal environment for continuous dialogue with the autonomous agent.

Does the skill support non-interactive one-shot mode for automated background execution?

Yes, the skill supports non-interactive one-shot mode for automated background execution. You can pass a one-shot query to the spawned Hermes subprocess, allowing it to execute tasks autonomously without requiring continuous user interaction.

When should I avoid spawning separate agent processes for task orchestration?

You should avoid spawning separate agent processes when tasks require shared session state or direct access to the parent agent context. Spawning creates fully independent subprocesses, making it unsuitable for tightly coupled multi-agent orchestration needing shared memory.
