Who it is forA manager or operator who needs several Bots that split one larger job, each with a clear responsibility.
The problemBuilding each team member by hand is slow, and a half-built team is hard to track.
The outcomeA lead Bot and its member Bots are created, with a per-member result saying what finished and what is still pending.
What you need first
- Hermes Agent 0.21 or newer with the hermes CLI on your PATH
- Hermes Desktop for Bot Mode (the CLI also works, since Bots are profiles)
- Linux or macOS (Windows is not supported)
- A model provider configured in Hermes
Steps
- Complete the install and enable steps for Bot Forge on your main profile or manager Bot
- Run
hermes bot-forge-doctorand confirm the manager profile is listed as enabled - Ask the manager Bot to create a team with
create_team, naming a lead and its members and their jobs - Review the result, which reports each Bot's sign-in and gateway status
- Run
check_agentsto confirm the team members exist and their configs are correct
Prompt for your agent
Using the repo BkashJEE/hermes-bot-forge, ask the manager Bot to run create_team for <team goal> with a lead and members. Expected output: a per-member result listing each Bot as created, pending sign-in, or failed. Verify by running check_agents and confirming every member is listed.
Caveat. A team is not all-or-nothing, so a partial result is expected and each pending member has to be checked separately.
