Methodology for Any Agent

How It Works

1. Install the plugin — hermes plugins install agustinusnathaniel/maestria/packages/hermes --enable
2. Plugin activates — Registers 9 methodology skills, 6 slash commands, permission roles, and lifecycle hooks. The plugin has no startup probes for external tools — it is self-contained.
3. Pick your mode — /fein (full pipeline), /sonar (research only), /blitz (fast implementation) — each enables the right specialists and tool gates
4. Dispatch specialists — The orchestrator decomposes work via delegate_task and enforces maker/checker separation. Complex coding tasks can use the opencode_route tool if OpenCode CLI is installed.
5. Review before delivery — Reviewer validates output before anything reaches you

Quick Install

hermes plugins install agustinusnathaniel/maestria/packages/hermes --enable

The plugin is fully self-configuring — Hermes discovers its hooks, commands, and skills from plugin.yaml. No manual setup needed.
