SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Hermes Agent generates artifacts inside the parent repository, which pollutes the codebase. This skill routes outputs to a structured ~/workspace/ with dedicated subdirectories and pre-commit validation to keep the repo clean.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Output routing: move research reports to ~/workspace/reports, audit reports to ~/workspace/audits, cloned repos to ~/workspace/repos, and temporary files to ~/workspace/tmp.
  • Pre-commit validation: prevents accidental commits of agent artifacts by ensuring they are redirected to the appropriate locations.
  • Persistence guidance: explains how ~/workspace/ persists within the dev container environment and how to back up important artifacts.

Quick Start

Use this skill to ensure all agent artifacts are redirected to the proper workspace directories before commit.

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent agent artifacts from polluting my repository root?

To prevent agent artifacts from polluting the repository root, you can route generated outputs to a structured ~/workspace/ with dedicated subdirectories like reports and tmp. This keeps your codebase clean.

Can pre-commit hooks stop accidental commits of temporary agent files?

Yes, pre-commit validation can stop accidental commits of temporary agent files by enforcing output routing rules that redirect artifacts to ~/workspace/tmp before they enter the staging area.

How do I organize cloned repos and audit reports in a dev container?

You organize cloned repos and audit reports in a dev container by routing them to ~/workspace/repos and ~/workspace/audits respectively, ensuring structured artifact management within the persistent environment.

Does artifact routing work with a DevContainer environment?

Artifact routing works with a DevContainer environment by structuring outputs into ~/workspace/ subdirectories and providing persistence guidance on how those files are retained and backed up within the container.

What is the best way to route Hermes Agent research outputs?

The best way to route Hermes Agent research outputs is to redirect them directly into ~/workspace/reports, which dedicates a structured subdirectory for research artifacts away from the parent repository.
