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 sync

bash
intutic connect

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).
