Hermes is a research-grade and production-ready multi-agent framework built to eliminate repetitive software engineering bottlenecks. Rather than relying on simple, single-turn LLM generation, Hermes orchestrates an autonomous directed acyclic graph (DAG) of specialized subagents running in sandboxed Docker containers.

1. Orchestrator-Worker Decomposition: High-level requirements are decomposed into discrete, verified tasks with strict acceptance criteria and explicit file scopes. 2. Sandboxed Execution: Isolated execution trees with dedicated network egress and ephemeral worktrees prevent host pollution. 3. Deterministic Verification Gate: Every change is tested against compilation, lint rules, and unit test suites before being eligible for merge. 4. Bounded Self-Correction: In the event of a test failure, runtime stack traces and AST diagnostics are looped back into worker context for iterative refinement.
