# Hermes Agency Agents Router Plugin

Generated by `scripts/convert.sh --tool hermes`.

This integration installs one Hermes plugin named `agency-agents-router` instead
of adding 232+ generated skills to `skills.external_dirs`. Hermes sees a
small fixed tool surface at startup, while the complete Agency roster is
stored on disk in `data/agents.json` and searched/loaded lazily.

Generated agent count: 232

## Tools exposed to Hermes

- `agency_agents_search` — find matching specialists by query/division.
- `agency_agents_inspect` — inspect one specialist's metadata or full body.
- `agency_agents_load` — compose one specialist prompt for the current task.
- `agency_agents_delegate` — delegate through Hermes `delegate_task` when available.

## Specialist usage instruction for Hermes

When a Hermes project needs Agency specialists, explicitly ask Hermes to use
the `agency-agents-router` plugin/router and load only the specialists needed for
the current phase. Do not ask Hermes to install or preload the full Agency
roster as skills.

Recommended project instruction:

```text
Use the agency-agents-router plugin. Search the Agency roster for the right
specialists, then load or delegate only the specific agents needed for each
part of the project. For multi-discipline projects, use multiple selected
specialists across the project, but keep routing lazy: do not preload the
full Agency roster and do not add agency-agents to skills.external_dirs.
```

Example:

```text
For this Data Swami build, use the agency-agents-router plugin to pick
relevant Agency specialists. Search first, then delegate to selected agents
such as frontend, backend, UX, QA, data engineering, and product strategy as
needed. Load/delegate each specialist on demand rather than loading all
Agency agents at startup.
```

## Install

```bash
./scripts/convert.sh --tool hermes
./scripts/install.sh --tool hermes
```

The installer copies the generated plugin to:

```text
${HERMES_HOME:-~/.hermes}/plugins/agency-agents-router
```

It then enables `agency-agents-router` under `plugins.enabled` in the Hermes
config. It does **not** write to `skills.external_dirs`.
