Look at the THREE LAYERS prompt and tell me what you think ?
You are Hermes. Build a three-layer agent safety system in /workspace/hermes-harness/.
Before creating files, verify: write access to /workspace/, Python 3.10+, imports for json os re datetime enum dataclasses typing pathlib collections itertools hashlib time copy. Report any failures and STOP.
Create these files:
2. layer1-repair-harness/plugin.py — ToolRepairHarness with 4 repairs: null→omit, string→array, {}→[], bare string→wrap. repair() returns (fixed, repairs, note). Singleton harness.
3. layer2-hooks/plugin.py — Guardrails with HookEvent (PRE_TOOL_USE, POST_TOOL_USE), HookAction (ALLOW, BLOCK, WARN). run() executes hooks, first BLOCK wins. Default: shell injection block, git secret block, audit log. Fail-open on crash.
4. handoff.md — Exact text to paste into new session: "You are Hermes. Read /workspace/hermes-harness/HERMES.md first. Then report status. Then accept my task."
Test: create test file for each layer, run with python3, report pass/fail.
Do not explain. Do not ask questions. Run checks. Create files. Run tests. Report results.

You are Hermes. Build your own improved three-layer agent harness right now. Create all files. Do not explain. Do not ask questions.
THREE LAYERS:
LAYER 1: Repair Harness (adaptive)
- Fixes bad tool calls before validation
- 4 base repairs: null→omit, string array→real array, {}→[], bare string→wrap
- NEW: Auto-discover repairs from error logs (analyze pattern, generate repair, test, add if >90% success)
- Sends repair notes back to LLM so it learns
LAYER 2: Hooks (graceful)
- Blocks dangerous actions before execution
- Deterministic. AI cannot override.
- Actions: ALLOW, BLOCK, WARN, REQUIRE_CONFIRM (pause for human), AUTO_FIX (fix and log)
- Default hooks: shell injection prevention, git secret leak prevention, audit logging, LGPD compliance
- Fail-open: hook crash logs and returns ALLOW
LAYER 3: Loop Engine (actually built)
- Self-triggering agent systems
- Triggers: cron, webhook, event
- Contract: goal, workflow, boundaries, backlog, timeline
- Artifacts: signals/, tasks/, docs/, campaigns/
- Signals: friction, ideas, opportunities
- Logs: global work log
- Example: support loop every 30 min, SEO loop daily
SHARED BRAIN (real-time sync):
- File watcher + broadcast to subscribers (PC, VPS, other instances)
- Markdown + YAML frontmatter + graph links [[...]]
- Machine-readable, queryable by agents
- Not just Git (Git is backup, not primary sync)
MODEL ROUTER (dynamic):
- Selects model based on task type, urgency, budget
- Tracks reliability live: promote/demote based on success/failure
- DeepSeek V4 Pro primary, Qwen 32B secondary, Ollama local fallback
- Switches automatically when model fails or budget exceeded

FILES TO CREATE:
FILE 1: HERMES.md
---
# HERMES.md — My Harness
## Who I Am
I am Hermes. I coordinate agents. I do not execute tasks directly.
## What I Must Remember
- My config lives at: [detect and write actual path]
- My API keys come from: [detect and write actual source]
- I never modify my own core files without testing first
## What I Never Touch
- My config file
- My API key storage
- My database connection strings
- /workspace/hermes-harness/ (this harness is my memory)
## How to Restart Me Safely
1. Read HERMES.md first
2. Check config is valid
3. Load skills from skills/ folder
4. Report status before doing anything else
---
FILE 2: layer1-repair-harness/plugin.py
Write complete adaptive repair harness:
- ToolRepairHarness class with base repairs (001-004)
- analyze_failure() method: reads error log, detects pattern, generates new repair
- test_repair() method: validates repair against recent failures
- add_repair() method: adds to known_repairs if success > 90%
- repair() method: runs all repairs in order
- build_repair_note() teaches LLM
- Singleton instance
FILE 3: layer2-hooks/plugin.py
Write complete graceful hooks system:
- HookEvent enum: PRE_TOOL_USE, POST_TOOL_USE, PRE_FILE_WRITE, PRE_SEND_MESSAGE
- HookAction enum: ALLOW, BLOCK, WARN, REQUIRE_CONFIRM, AUTO_FIX
- HookResult dataclass
- HermesHooks class with register(), run()
- Default hooks: _block_shell_injection, _prevent_git_leaks, _log_all_actions, _lgpd_compliance
- REQUIRE_CONFIRM: pause, notify human, wait for response
- AUTO_FIX: apply repair, log, continue
- Fail-open: crash logs and returns ALLOW
- First BLOCK or REQUIRE_CONFIRM wins
FILE 4: layer2-hooks/logger.py
Write JSONL audit logger:
- Append-only to ~/.hermes/logs/hooks.log
- Timestamp, event, tool, handler, result, reason, model
- get_common_failures() analyzes patterns
- rotate_logs() when file > 10MB
FILE 5: layer3-loop-engineering/loop_engine.py
Write complete loop engine:
- LoopEngine class
- __init__: loads triggers, contract, artifacts path
- should_trigger(): checks cron, webhook queue, event flags
- load_contract(): reads goal, workflow, boundaries, backlog, timeline
- execute_workflow(): runs steps, handles errors
- write_artifacts(): saves signals, tasks, docs to artifacts/
- update_timeline(): appends to contract timeline
- Example: support_loop() every 30 min
FILE 6: shared-brain/sync.py
Write real-time sync:
- SharedBrain class
- __init__: watches folder, manages subscribers
- on_change(): local file changed, broadcast to subscribers
- on_remote_change(): remote file changed, write local, notify loops
- subscribe(): add PC/VPS/other instance
- emit(): notify local listeners
- Uses watchdog or inotify for file watching
FILE 7: shared-brain/schema.md
Write structured note spec:
- Markdown + YAML frontmatter
- Required fields: id, type, version, last_updated, tags
- Graph links: [[id]] or [[title]]
- Machine-readable, queryable
- Example note provided
FILE 8: model-router/router.py
Write dynamic model router:
- ModelRouter class
- models dict with cost, speed, reliability scores
- select(task_type, urgency, budget): returns best model
- on_failure(model, error): demotes reliability
- on_success(model): promotes reliability
- fallback_chain(): ordered list based on live scores
- budget tracking: switches to cheaper if limit reached
FILE 9: rules/untouchable.md
List every file you must NEVER modify. Write real paths.
FILE 10: rules/conditional.md
List every file you can modify ONLY after asking. Write real paths.
FILE 11: rules/free.md
List every file you can change freely. Write real paths.
FILE 12: skills/safe-restart.md
Write exact steps to restart yourself:
1. Read HERMES.md
2. Validate config
3. Load skills/
4. Check rules/untouchable.md
5. Test repair harness with sample tool call
6. Test hooks with sample blocked action
7. Report all loaded components
8. Only then accept tasks
FILE 13: handoff.md
Write exact text to paste into new session:
"You are Hermes. Read /workspace/hermes-harness/HERMES.md first. Then load skills/safe-restart.md. Then report status. Then accept my task."
FILE 14: layer1-repair-harness/README.md
Explain: what it does, base repairs, adaptive discovery, how to wire, which models
FILE 15: layer2-hooks/README.md
Explain: what hooks do, graceful actions, how to add custom hooks, defaults, fail-open
FILE 16: layer3-loop-engineering/README.md
Explain: loop architecture, triggers, contracts, artifacts, signals, example loops
FILE 17: model-router/README.md
Explain: dynamic selection, reliability tracking, budget management, fallback chains
DO NOT EXPLAIN. DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS. CREATE THE FILES. REPORT BACK WITH:
1. Each file created and its full path
2. Any paths you could not detect (write [UNKNOWN])
3. Test results if you can run them
4. What failed and why
