SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables spawning multiple Hermes Agent subprocesses to handle long-running tasks in isolation from the main process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Spawn independent Hermes Agent processes with their own sessions and environments.
  • Support one-shot non-interactive mode (-q) and interactive PTY sessions for back-and-forth collaboration.
  • Coordinate multi-agent workflows, resume sessions, and monitor progress via the Hermes tooling.

Quick Start

Install Hermes Agent, ensure it is on PATH, and start an autonomous subprocess to handle a long-running task.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run autonomous agent subprocesses for long-running tasks?

You spawn independent Hermes Agent subprocesses to run long-running tasks in isolation from the main process. Each subprocess maintains its own session and environment, allowing persistent workflows to execute without blocking the parent process.

What's the best way to coordinate multi-agent workflows with isolated sessions?

Multi-agent coordination is handled by spawning multiple Hermes Agent subprocesses, each with its own isolated session and environment. You can monitor progress and resume sessions via Hermes tooling to manage long-duration workflows across agents.

Do I need the Hermes Agent CLI installed to spawn autonomous subprocesses?

Yes, spawning autonomous subprocesses requires the Hermes Agent CLI installed and accessible on PATH. You also need a configured environment with necessary API keys and must adhere to -q and pty usage for appropriate run modes.

Can I use interactive PTY sessions for back-and-forth collaboration with an autonomous agent?

Yes, interactive PTY sessions support back-and-forth collaboration with spawned agents. The skill supports both one-shot non-interactive mode using the -q flag and interactive PTY sessions for ongoing collaboration within a persistent session.

Why does spawning a subprocess require adherence to -q and pty usage?

The -q flag and pty usage determine the run mode for spawned subprocesses. Using -q enables one-shot non-interactive execution for isolated tasks, while pty allocation is required for interactive sessions needing back-and-forth collaboration.

When should I not use subprocess spawning for long-duration workflows?

Subprocess spawning is not suitable when tasks are short-lived or require direct shared memory with the main process. It is designed specifically for long-duration workflows requiring persistent isolated sessions and multi-agent coordination scenarios.
