Hermes

Integrate Intutic governance with NousResearch Hermes — the skill-based AI developer agent.

How it works

Intutic injects rules into .hermes/config.yaml to override model provider endpoints and binds tool execution hooks (hermes-check.sh) to filter shell commands and tool uses.

Setup

1. Initialize Intutic

bash
intutic init

The CLI detects Hermes and registers it as a harness:

✓ Detected harnesses:
  • hermes -> .hermes/config.yaml

2. Start the proxy

bash
intutic start

Have an Intutic account or run your own control plane? Use intutic connect instead. It starts the same proxy and adds bidirectional config sync.

What gets written

Intutic generates:

  • YAML Config: .hermes/config.yaml (overriding base URLs and credentials).
  • Hook Script: .intutic/hooks/hermes-check.js (referenced for PreToolUse interception).
