Hermes Agent v0.12.0 adds Kanban workflow
Hermes Agent v0.12.0 adds a Kanban-driven multi-agent workflow where tasks are claimed, worked in parallel, and handed off when blocked. The release pushes the project closer to an operating system for coordinating autonomous work rather than just a single assistant.
// ANALYSIS
Hermes is betting that the hard part of agent products is not raw model capability, but coordination: ownership, dependencies, and visibility across multiple workers.
- –The Kanban board gives the agent stack a real control plane for task routing, blocking, and handoff
- –Parent-child task dependencies make fan-out/fan-in workflows much more practical for research, refactors, and operations
- –Shared workspaces are the right abstraction for collaboration, but they also raise the usual file-collision and state-leak risks
- –This is strongest for teams already comfortable with self-hosted, terminal-first automation; it is less about consumer polish and more about operator leverage
- –If Hermes keeps the workflow legible, this kind of multi-agent orchestration is more durable than another “chat with tools” wrapper
