Agent CLI Delegation

Use this umbrella when the user wants coding work delegated to a local autonomous coding CLI rather than completed entirely in the current Hermes turn.

Choose the agent CLI

CLI	Best fit	Notes
Claude Code	Larger refactors, repo-aware implementation, PR-ready changes	Keep prompts scoped and include verification commands.
Codex	OpenAI Codex CLI feature/fix work and iterative patching	Provide exact paths, constraints, and tests to run.
OpenCode	Alternative coding agent and PR-review workflows	Useful when the user prefers OpenCode or when comparing agents.

Delegation prompt shape

Include:

1. Goal and non-goals.
2. Repository path and relevant files.
3. Constraints: style, dependencies, APIs, security, backwards compatibility.
4. Required verification commands.
5. Expected deliverables: patch, tests, summary, risks.

Execution rules

• Run agent CLIs in a tracked terminal/background process, not an untracked shell background.
• Require the child agent to report changed files and verification output.
• Independently verify critical claims: inspect diffs and run tests/checks yourself.
• Never ask a child agent to use credentials, deploy, merge, or delete without explicit user authorization.

Review after delegation

1. git status --short and git diff.
2. Check for unrelated changes, secrets, generated junk, or destructive edits.
3. Run the test/lint/typecheck commands that matter.
4. Summarize what was done and what remains.
