SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It prevents Codex from accidentally taking over Kanban ownership while still letting a Hermes Kanban worker use Codex for bounded, reviewable implementation work.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dual-lane workflow: Treats Codex as an input lane only, with Hermes owning lifecycle, reconciliation, testing, and final handoff.
  • Isolated execution: Enforces git worktree/branch isolation so Codex changes stay contained and reversible.
  • Safety-first acceptance: Requires Hermes-side verification of diffs, test reruns, and PMB safety constraints when applicable.

Quick Start

Tell Hermes to open an isolated Codex lane for a coding or documentation Kanban task, then let Hermes reconcile the diff and complete or block the task based on its own verification.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Codex safely as an autonomous agent without losing task ownership?

Run Codex safely by using a dual-lane workflow where Codex acts as an untrusted patch generator in an isolated git worktree, while a Kanban worker retains ownership of task lifecycle, verification, and final handoff.

What is the best way to isolate autonomous coding agent changes in git?

Isolate autonomous coding agent changes by enforcing strict git worktree and branch isolation, ensuring modifications stay contained, reversible, and independently verifiable before any reconciliation occurs.

How do I verify autonomous agent code patches before merging?

Verify autonomous agent patches through a reconciliation checklist that executes independent test reruns, diff reviews, and safety constraint checks before completing or blocking the Kanban task lifecycle.

Does the Codex lane workflow support documentation and refactoring tasks?

Yes, the Codex lane workflow supports scoped coding, refactoring, documentation, test, and migration tasks, provided they can be validated through Hermes-run tests during the reconciliation phase.

When should I not use an isolated kanban implementation lane for autonomous agents?

Avoid using an isolated Kanban implementation lane for autonomous agents when coding tasks cannot be validated via Hermes-run tests or lack strict safety constraints for independent verification.
