Minions

Mission Control for Hermes Agent

Hermes Agent is powerful, but running real work on it means juggling terminal sessions, losing track of which job finished, and manually checking on long-running tasks. The more you delegate, the harder it gets to manage.

Minions gives you one screen to create, supervise, and review autonomous Hermes Agent work.

Hosted access option on Agent37.

Quick Start

Prerequisites: Node.js 18+ and Hermes Agent

npx minionsai

Open http://localhost:6969.

Local sqllite db is created on first run and state lives in ~/.minions/

Check the installed version:

minions --version
npm view minionsai version

The Settings page also shows the version of the running Minions server.

Features

• Kanban board: see every task at a glance: in progress, in review, done
• Autonomous execution: describe what you want in chat, walk away; the agent decides how to get it done
• Automatic review queue: successful agent runs move cards to ready for review
• Live streaming: watch tool calls, reasoning, and responses in real time
• Human-in-the-loop: agents propose completion; you verify and close. Nothing moves to done without your sign-off
• Per-task model control: override model and reasoning effort on any task
• Scheduled Tasks: create and manage recurring Hermes jobs, history, and output
• File browser: see files agents have created in the workspace directory
• Local-first option: self-host with SQLite, no account, and no cloud dependency. Your local data stays on your machine

How It Works

Each task is a persistent Hermes root session. You talk to it, it works, and the board reflects where everything stands. Chat transcripts live in Hermes's session database; Minions stores task metadata, status, and per-task settings in a local SQLite database.

Who It's For

• Hermes power users juggling multiple sessions across projects
• Indie founders delegating research, ops, writing, and coding to their agent
• Anyone running long-lived Hermes work who needs to know what finished, what's stuck, and what needs attention

Roadmap

• Scheduled task supervision: automatically monitor, recover, and report on scheduled agent jobs
• Notifications: get alerted via Telegram, WhatsApp, or webhook when a task needs review
• Skills library: pluggable skill templates for common workflows (lead gen, web research, content pipelines, data collection, competitive monitoring, outbound sequences)
• OpenClaw adapter: run Minions against OpenClaw-hosted agents

FAQ

Can I use this with other agents? Not yet. The adapter interface exists, but launch is Hermes-only. OpenClaw is next.
