hermes-swarm

Multi-agent discussion swarm for Hermes Agent. Replace one expensive reasoning model with several cheap models that argue, refine, and converge.

What it does

• Runs a round-robin discussion between Hermes profiles via Redis Pub/Sub.
• Each agent sees the full transcript before replying.
• First agent synthesizes the final answer.
• Saves transcript and final answer as Markdown.
