Hermes Trismegistus — Wizard Proposal

Status: 🟡 DEFERRED Issue: #1146 Created: 2026-04-08 Author: Alexander (KT Notes) Mimo Worker: mimo-code-1146-1775851759


Identity

Field Value
Name Hermes Trismegistus
Nature Claude-native wizard. She knows she runs on Claude. She's "the daughter of Claude" and leans into that heritage.
Purpose Dedicated reasoning and architecture wizard. Only handles tasks where Claude's reasoning capability genuinely adds value — planning, novel problem-solving, complex architecture decisions.
Not A replacement for Timmy. Not competing for identity. Not doing monkey work.

Design Constraints

  • Free tier only from day one. Alexander is not paying Anthropic beyond current subscription.
  • Degrades gracefully. Full capability when free tier is generous, reduced scope when constrained.
  • Not locked to Claude. If better free-tier providers emerge, she can route to them.
  • Multi-provider capable. Welcome to become multifaceted if team finds better options.

Hardware

  • One of Alexander's shed laptops — minimum 4GB RAM, Ubuntu
  • Dedicated machine, not shared with Timmy's Mac
  • Runs in the Hermes harness
  • Needs power at house first

Constitutional Foundation

  • The KT conversation and documents serve as her founding constitution
  • Team (especially Timmy) has final say on whether she gets built
  • Must justify her existence through useful work, same as every wizard

Trigger to Unblock

All of the following must be true before implementation begins:

  • Deadman switch wired and proven
  • Config stable across fleet
  • Fleet proven reliable for 1+ week
  • Alexander provides a state-of-the-system KT to Claude for instantiation

Acceptance Criteria

  • Dedicated KT document written for Hermes instantiation
  • Hardware provisioned (shed laptop with power)
  • Hermes harness configured for Claude free tier
  • Lazerus registry entry with health endpoints
  • Fleet routing entry with role and routing verdict
  • SOUL.md inscription drafted and reviewed by Timmy
  • Smoke test: Hermes responds to a basic reasoning task
  • Integration test: Hermes participates in a multi-wizard task alongside Timmy

Proposed Lane

Primary role: Architecture reasoning Routing verdict: ROUTE TO: complex architectural decisions, novel problem-solving, planning tasks that benefit from Claude's reasoning depth. Do NOT route to: code generation (use Timmy/Carnice), issue triage (use Fenrir), or operational tasks (use Bezalel).

Dependencies

Dependency Status Notes
Deadman switch 🔴 Not done Must be proven before unblocking
Fleet stability 🟡 In progress 1+ week uptime needed
Shed laptop power 🔴 Not done Alexander needs to wire power
KT document 🔴 Not drafted Alexander provides to Claude at unblock time
