hermes-agent-spawning

You can spawn independent Hermes Agent subprocesses to run long-running tasks in isolation, giving each process its own session, tools, and lifecycle. This preserves separate context and enables persistent sessions across different working directories.

Spawning subprocesses isolates each agent's context and enables persistent sessions, whereas task delegation shares context within a single process. Subprocesses maintain independent lifecycles, making them better suited for parallel subtasks and multi-turn interactive work.

Yes, spawned Hermes Agent subprocesses support interactive PTY sessions for back-and-forth collaboration, as well as a one-shot (-q) mode for single-turn execution. PTY mode allows real-time interaction while maintaining process isolation.

Spawning independent Hermes Agent subprocesses allows you to run parallel subtasks across different working directories. Each subprocess maintains its own isolated session and process lifecycle, preventing context bleed between concurrent tasks.

Use one-shot (-q) mode for single-turn tasks where you need an immediate result without ongoing interaction. Use interactive PTY mode when you need back-and-forth collaboration across multiple turns within a persistent, isolated session.
