Wrapping Hermes Agent with agent-stack: six tiny libs for the boring parts
The article discusses the development of agent-stack, a collection of six libraries designed to enhance the functionality of the Hermes Agent. These libraries address common operational issues that arise outside the agent loop, such as validation and error handling. The author emphasizes that agent-stack is meant to complement Hermes without rebuilding its core functionalities.
- ▪Agent-stack consists of six single-concern libraries that can be installed together or individually.
- ▪Each library addresses specific operational challenges, such as context fitting, validation, and budget management.
- ▪The Hermes Agent Challenge encourages improvements on existing work, which is the basis for the creation of agent-stack.
