Hermes ACP Orchestrator Skill

A production-oriented Hermes skill for ACP-style multi-agent delegation.

What it solves

This skill standardizes how you delegate work across:

• Hermes internal subagents
• Codex
• Claude Code

It focuses on three things:

1. Clear agent routing (agent=...)
2. Context isolation (delegated work does not pollute the parent context)
3. Safety controls (timeouts + output limits for external agents)

Skill Name

hermes-acp-orchestrator

Who should use this

Use this skill if you are orchestrating engineering workflows where different sub-agents specialize in different tasks (implementation, review, risk analysis, synthesis).

Quick example

delegate_task(tasks=[
  {"goal": "Risk review", "agent": "claude-code"},
  {"goal": "Patch + tests", "agent": "codex"},
  {"goal": "Final integration summary", "agent": "hermes"}
])

Recommended Hermes config

delegation:
  external_timeout_seconds: 900
  external_max_output_chars: 24000
