Problem

We drifted. 104 commits on hermes-agent fork, 28 modifications to upstream files, blocking hermes update.

Agents committed directly to hermes-agent because nobody enforced the sidecar boundary. The result: we can't pull upstream updates without a painful merge of 499 commits.

Architecture Rule (restored)

  • hermes-agent = upstream NousResearch. hermes update pulls latest. WE DO NOT COMMIT HERE.
  • timmy-config = our sidecar. All sovereign work lives here: configs, scripts, CI, docs, wizard-bootstrap, skills.
  • Skills directory (~/.hermes/skills/) = plugin mechanism for agent behavior extensions.

Plan

  1. Extract all 142 unique files from hermes-agent fork into timmy-config
  2. Reset hermes-agent to pure upstream (origin/main)
  3. Reinstall from clean upstream
  4. Put guards in place to prevent future drift
  5. For ~15 agent/* files that import hermes internals: restructure as skills or runtime patches

Sub-issues below.
