sleepy 51123212c4 Initial commit: coding harness feedback analysis
Harnesses under analysis:
- opencode (Go-based coding agent)
- pi (minimal terminal coding harness by Mario Zechner)
- hermes (Nous Research agent)
- forgecode (AI pair programmer with sub-agents)

Each harness folder contains:
- repo/: Source code from respective repositories
- feedback/localllm/: Community feedback for local/smaller models
- feedback/frontier/: Community feedback for frontier models

Research focus: Tool handling, skills systems, prompt engineering,
context management, and best practices for smaller/local models.

Research/Analysis Folder for hermes

This is the research and analysis folder for the hermes coding harness.

Folder Structure

hermes/
  repo/           - NousResearch/hermes-agent source code
  feedback/
    localllm/     - Community feedback and performance data for local models
    frontier/     - Community feedback and performance data for frontier models

What's Inside

  • repo/: The hermes-agent repository (agent that grows with you by Nous Research)
  • feedback/localllm/: Feedback, benchmark results, and observations from using hermes with smaller/local LLMs
  • feedback/frontier/: Feedback, benchmark results, and observations from using hermes with frontier models

Feedback Format

Each feedback file should include:

  • Model used (name, size, provider)
  • Benchmark results or task performance
  • Issues encountered
  • What worked well
  • Source reference: URL or site where the feedback came from (community posts, Discord, GitHub issues, etc.)

Research Focus

This folder collects data on:

  • Tool handling and capabilities
  • Skills system effectiveness
  • Prompt engineering strategies
  • Context management
  • Performance on benchmarks (terminal-bench, etc.)

Goal

Extract best practices specifically for smaller/local models and document what works vs. what doesn't for the hermes harness.
