What is hermes-agent-control-room?

Hermes Agent Control Room is a starter template and organizational framework for people who want to run multiple AI agents on a server (VPS, a rented cloud computer) in a structured, scalable way. It is not itself an AI agent, it is the documentation, configuration templates, and runbooks (step-by-step operating guides) that govern the agents you set up. The core concept is to establish a central "control room", a folder of documentation that defines who your agents are, what they do, how they connect to each other, and how to recover when things go wrong. Once that foundation exists, you can grow from one general-purpose agent to a team of specialist agents (for example: one for SEO, one for coding, one for marketing, one for server operations) and optionally an orchestrator agent that routes work to the right specialist automatically. The template describes four levels of complexity: starting with one agent and the control room documentation, then adding specialist agents you talk to directly, then adding an orchestrator as a single front door, and finally automating recurring workflows. The key philosophy is to get the manual system working before adding automation. Bundled "skills" (reusable instruction sets for agents like Claude Code) cover tasks such as provisioning a new server, bootstrapping the full stack, managing the agent registry, and auditing security settings.
