What problem does it solve? Setting up a consistent, repo-local Hermes agent environment (profile, pruned skills, hook scripts, rules files, and a ./dev entrypoint) is error-prone, with subtle pitfalls like corrupted config values, untrusted skills, and silently non-executing hooks. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Exemplar Mirroring: Reads an established reference repo (~/dev/verdict) first, then mirrors its dev script, profile config, and hook structure adapted to the new repo's language and toolchain. - Profile & Hook Provisioning: Creates Hermes profiles, prunes skills via literal JSON config sets, and installs git-guard, formatter, and evidence-recorder hook scripts with correct event registration. - Verification & Pitfall Avoidance: Ships a doctor command that validates profile, skill symlinks, trust counts, hook executability, and toolchain presence, plus a catalog of known failure modes and their fixes. - Use Case: When starting a new web project, run this procedure to clone the verdict setup, swap the cargo-fmt hook for prettier/eslint, and finish with a passing ./dev doctor before committing. ## Quick Start Set up a repo-local Hermes dev environment for this repository by mirroring the verdict exemplar, then verify it with ./dev doctor.
