Minions Hermes Mission Control - Multi-Agent Coordination Setup Guide¶

Minions Hermes Mission Control is a multi-agent coordination dashboard for Hermes. Dispatch tasks to swarms of agents, track progress on shared boards, and aggregate results - all from a single control interface.

Quality Tier: 🔵 Community

What It Does¶

Swarm Dispatch: Send tasks to multiple Hermes agents simultaneously
Shared Task Boards: Kanban-style boards visible across agents
Progress Tracking: Real-time status updates from all active agents
Result Aggregation: Collect and merge outputs from parallel agent runs
Resource Allocation: Assign priority levels and compute budgets per agent
Conflict Resolution: Detect and resolve overlapping or contradictory agent outputs

Prerequisites¶

Requirement	Check
Hermes Agent installed	`hermes --version`
Multiple agent profiles	`hermes profile list` (at least 2)
`npx` available	`npx --version`

Installation¶

npx skills add https://github.com/reason-machines/hermes-skills --skill minions-hermes-mission-control

Verify:

hermes skills list | grep minions-hermes

Configuration¶

Create ~/.hermes/mission-control/config.yaml:

# Minions Mission Control Configuration
swarm:
  max_concurrent_agents: 5
  default_timeout: 300          # seconds
  retry_failed_tasks: true
  max_retries: 2

boards:
  persist_path: ~/.hermes/mission-control/boards/
  auto_archive_days: 7

agents:
  - name: corpusiq-growth
    profile: corpusiq
    priority: high
    max_tasks: 3
  - name: corpusiq-dev
    profile: dev
    priority: medium
    max_tasks: 2
  - name: corpusiq-research
    profile: research
    priority: low
    max_tasks: 5

Usage¶

Dispatch a Swarm Task¶

hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control \
  --dispatch "Research top 5 AI agent trends for Q3 2026" \
  --agents corpusiq-growth,corpusiq-research \
  --board trends-research

Check Board Status¶

hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control --board trends-research --status

Sample Output:

Board: trends-research | 3 tasks | Updated: 2s ago
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
✅ corpusiq-growth/search-social    - Done (42s)
🔄 corpusiq-growth/analyze-papers   - Running (18s elapsed)
⏳ corpusiq-research/web-scrape     - Queued
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Aggregate Results¶

hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control --board trends-research --aggregate

Cancel a Board¶

hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control --board trends-research --cancel

Swarm Task Patterns¶

Pattern	Command Flag	Use Case
Fan-Out	`--strategy fanout`	Same task to all agents, compare results
Pipeline	`--strategy pipeline`	Agent A output → Agent B input
Scatter-Gather	`--strategy scatter`	Break large task into sub-tasks, parallel exec, merge
Voting	`--strategy vote`	Multiple agents solve same problem, majority wins

Integration with CorpusIQ¶

For CorpusIQ multi-agent workflows:

Content Research: Fan-out topic research to growth + research agents
Competitive Analysis: Scatter-gather: one agent per competitor, aggregate findings
Code + Docs Pipeline: Dev agent builds feature → growth agent writes announcement
Overnight Sweeps: Dispatch multiple agents for nightly marketplace/social sweeps

Example: Overnight Content Sweep¶

hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control \
  --dispatch "Full overnight sweep: skills.sh + social mining + email check" \
  --agents corpusiq-growth,corpusiq-research \
  --strategy scatter \
  --board overnight-sweep \
  --schedule "0 2 * * *"

Verification¶

# List active boards
hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control --boards

# Test with a simple dispatch
hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control \
  --dispatch "Self-test: echo 'hello' and return" \
  --agents corpusiq-growth \
  --board test-board

# Check result
hermes skill invoke minions-hermes-mission-control --board test-board --aggregate

Troubleshooting¶

Symptom	Likely Cause	Fix
"No agents available"	Agent profiles not configured	Add agents to `config.yaml` or use `--agents` flag
Tasks stuck in "Queued"	Agent at max task limit	Increase `max_tasks` or reduce concurrent workload
"Board not found"	Board name typo or archived	Check `--boards` for active boards
Agent timeout	Task too complex for timeout	Increase `default_timeout` or split into smaller tasks
