Hermes Kanban Orchestration

Use this to manage multiple Hermes workers through a visual board.

Setup Flow

1. Update Hermes to a version that supports Kanban.
2. Ask Hermes to initialize or verify Kanban.
3. Create specialist profiles only as needed:
   • Researcher.
   • Analyst.
   • Writer.
   • Reviewer.
   • Developer.
   • QA/tester.
4. Confirm dashboard access, often through an SSH tunnel if hosted on a VPS.
5. Create one test task and verify it moves through the board.

Task Design

Good tasks have:

• One clear output.
• Assigned profile or role.
• Dependencies when needed.
• Priority and size.
• Acceptance criteria.
• Place to store artifacts or final answer.

Bad tasks are vague, subjective, or ask every worker to touch the same thing at once.

Example Research Pipeline

For a content topic:

1. Researcher A: What is new in this topic this week?
2. Researcher B: What already exists on YouTube/search/social in the last 30 days?
3. Analyst: Find the gap, contrarian angle, or underserved question.
4. Writer: Draft three concepts, hooks, titles, and outlines.
5. Reviewer: Check claims, novelty, and fit for the audience.

Operating Rules

• Use Kanban for visibility, not just decoration.
• Keep human comments short and specific.
• Use dependencies so later tasks wait for earlier research.
• Ask for concise status reports rather than full logs.
• Archive completed tasks after outputs are captured.
