RUDR9

What This Is

One-command installer that transforms Hermes Agent into a 9-role AI engineering organization. Profiles, Kanban coordination, per-profile authority enforcement, PAUL-inspired workflow.

Repo Layout

• install.sh — the installer (preflight → profiles → SOULs → toolsets → skills → MCPs → Kanban → hooks → plugin → verify)
• assets/souls/ — 8 SOUL.md role templates
• assets/plugins/rudr9-guard/ — authority enforcement plugin (pre_tool_call hook)
• assets/hooks/rudr9-long-task/ — stuck loop alert
• assets/templates/ — project init files (AGENTS.md, PROJECT.md, STATE.md)
• Dockerfile — isolated test environment

Development

# Dry run (no changes)
./install.sh --dry-run

# Guard plugin tests
cd assets/plugins/rudr9-guard
python3 -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0, '.')
from rules import is_allowed
assert not is_allowed('planner', 'write_file')
assert is_allowed('builder', 'write_file')
assert not is_allowed('security', 'terminal')
print('ok')

# Full Docker test
docker build -t rudr9-test .
docker run -d --name rudr9-test rudr9-test tail -f /dev/null
docker exec -d rudr9-test bash -lc 'cd /home/rudr9/RUDR9 && ./install.sh > /tmp/install.log 2>&1'
# wait ~8 min
docker exec rudr9-test bash -lc 'hermes profile list && hermes kanban assignees'
docker rm -f rudr9-test

Conventions

• Conventional Commits: feat:, fix:, docs:, refactor:
• Branch naming: feat/, fix/, docs/
• All changes through PRs — no direct commits to main
• Test before pushing: ./install.sh --dry-run must pass

Key Design Decisions

• Guard plugin reads HERMES_PROFILE env var (set by Kanban dispatcher when spawning workers) — NOT HERMES_HOME basename
• Builder+Checker fused into one profile (in-session validation loop)
• Kanban is coordination bus + user dashboard (not just display)
• Sequential-by-default (max_in_progress_per_profile: 1) — parallelism is opt-in
• Install backs up SOUL.md before overwriting; uninstall restores
