* feat(kanban): orchestrator-driven auto-decomposition on triage
Closes the core gap in the kanban system: dropping a one-liner into Triage
now decomposes it into a graph of child tasks routed to specialist
profiles by description, matching teknium's original vision ("main
orchestrator splits/creates actual tasks, doles them out to each agent").
The build
---------
- hermes_cli/profiles.py: new `description` + `description_auto` fields
on ProfileInfo, persisted in <profile_dir>/profile.yaml. Helpers
read_profile_meta / write_profile_meta. `create_profile` accepts
optional description.
- hermes_cli/profile_describer.py: new module — auto-generate a 1-2
sentence description from a profile's skills + model + name via the
auxiliary LLM (`auxiliary.profile_describer`).
- hermes_cli/main.py: new `hermes profile create --description ...`
flag; new `hermes profile describe [name] [--text ... | --auto |
--all --auto]` subcommand.
- hermes_cli/kanban_db.py: new `decompose_triage_task` atomic helper —
creates N child tasks, links the root as a child of every leaf
(root waits for the whole graph), flips root `triage -> todo` with
orchestrator assignee, records an audit comment + `decomposed` event
in a single write_txn.
- hermes_cli/kanban_decompose.py: new module — calls the auxiliary LLM
(`auxiliary.kanban_decomposer`) with the profile roster + descriptions
to produce a JSON task graph, then invokes the DB helper. Rewrites
unknown assignees to the configured `kanban.default_assignee` (or
the active default profile) so a task NEVER lands with assignee=None.
Falls back to specify-style single-task promotion when the LLM
returns `fanout: false`.
- hermes_cli/kanban.py: new `hermes kanban decompose [task_id | --all]`
CLI verb.
- hermes_cli/config.py: new DEFAULT_CONFIG keys —
kanban.orchestrator_profile, kanban.default_assignee,
kanban.auto_decompose (default True), kanban.auto_decompose_per_tick
(default 3), auxiliary.kanban_decomposer, auxiliary.profile_describer.
- gateway/run.py: kanban dispatcher watcher now runs auto-decompose
before each `_tick_once`, capped by `auto_decompose_per_tick` so a
bulk-load of triage tasks doesn't burst-spend the aux LLM.
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/plugin_api.py: new endpoints —
GET /profiles (list roster + descriptions),
PATCH /profiles/<name> (set description, user-authored),
POST /profiles/<name>/describe-auto (LLM-generate),
POST /tasks/<id>/decompose (run decomposer),
GET/PUT /orchestration (orchestrator/default-assignee/auto-decompose
pickers, with resolved fallbacks echoed back).
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js: new OrchestrationPanel
collapsible — dropdowns for orchestrator profile and default
assignee, auto-decompose toggle, per-profile description editor with
Save and Auto-generate buttons. New ⚗ Decompose button next to
✨ Specify on triage-column task drawers.
Behavior
--------
- A task in Triage gets fanned out into a small DAG of child tasks.
Children with no internal parents flip to `ready` immediately
(parallel dispatch). Children with sibling parents wait. The root
stays alive as a parent of every child — when the whole graph
finishes, it promotes to `ready` and the orchestrator profile wakes
back up to judge completion (the "adds more tasks until done" part
of the original vision).
- `kanban.orchestrator_profile` unset -> falls back to the default
profile (whichever `hermes` launches with no -p flag).
- `kanban.default_assignee` unset -> same fallback. Tasks NEVER end
up unassigned.
- `kanban.auto_decompose=true` (default) runs the decomposer
automatically on dispatcher ticks; manual `hermes kanban decompose`
is always available.
Tests
-----
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_decompose_db.py — 7 tests for the
atomic DB helper (status transitions, dep graph, audit trail,
validation errors).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_decompose.py — 6 tests for the
decomposer module (fanout, no-fanout fallback, unknown-assignee
rewrite, malformed-JSON resilience, no-aux-client path).
- tests/hermes_cli/test_profile_describer.py — 10 tests for
profile.yaml r/w + the LLM auto-describer (yaml corrupt tolerance,
user-vs-auto description protection, --overwrite, fallback parsing).
E2E
---
- CLI end-to-end: created profiles with descriptions, dropped a triage
task, mocked the aux LLM with a 3-task graph -> verified all three
children were created with the right assignees, the dependency
edges matched the LLM's graph, root flipped to todo gated by every
child, audit comment + `decomposed` event recorded.
- Dashboard end-to-end: started the dashboard against an isolated
HERMES_HOME, verified all four new endpoints via curl (profile
listing, PATCH for description, PUT for orchestration settings,
POST for decompose). Opened the UI in the browser, confirmed the
OrchestrationPanel renders with all three pickers + the per-profile
description editor, typed a description, clicked Save, verified
~/.hermes/profile.yaml was written. Clicked Decompose on the triage
card and confirmed the inline error message surfaced as designed
("no auxiliary client configured").
* feat(kanban): surface decompose mode (Auto/Manual) as a one-click pill
The auto/manual toggle already existed as kanban.auto_decompose (default
true), but it was buried inside the collapsed Orchestration settings
panel — users couldn't tell at a glance which mode they were in. This
hoists it to a pill at the top of the kanban page so the state is always
visible and one click flips it.
UX
- New "⚗ Decompose: AUTO|MANUAL" pill in the kanban header. Emerald
styling when Auto is on (the default), muted/gray when Manual.
- Pill is visible both in the collapsed AND expanded Orchestration
settings views so context is preserved when the user opens the panel.
- Tooltip explains both states + what clicking does.
- Renamed the in-panel "Auto-decompose on triage / Enabled" checkbox
to "Decompose mode / Auto (default) | Manual" for language parity
with the pill.
Behavior preserved
- Default remains Auto (kanban.auto_decompose=true).
- Manual mode restores pre-PR behavior: triage tasks stay in triage
until the user clicks ⚗ Decompose on each card (or runs
`hermes kanban decompose <id>`).
Implementation
- plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js: load /orchestration on mount
(not just on expand) so the collapsed pill reflects real state.
Render mode pill in both collapsed and expanded headers. Reuses the
existing PUT /api/plugins/kanban/orchestration endpoint — no new
backend, no new tests required.
E2E verified
- Pill renders as "⚗ Decompose: AUTO" on page load (default).
- One click flips to "⚗ Decompose: MANUAL" with muted styling.
- config.yaml on disk shows auto_decompose: false after the flip.
- Second click round-trips back to Auto; config.yaml flips to true.
* feat(kanban): rename mode pill to "Orchestration: Auto/Manual"
Per Teknium feedback — "Decompose" was too implementation-specific.
"Orchestration" is the user-facing concept (the whole pitch is the
orchestrator profile routing work), and the pill is the front door to it.
- Pill text: "Orchestration: Auto" / "Orchestration: Manual" (title case,
no ⚗ prefix, no SHOUTY-CAPS for the mode value)
- In-panel checkbox label: "Orchestration mode" (was "Decompose mode")
- Tooltips updated to match
- No behavior change
* docs(kanban): document decompose, profile descriptions, orchestration mode
Brings the docs site up to parity with the PR. English build verified
locally (npx docusaurus build --locale en) — clean, no new broken links
or anchors. Pre-existing broken-link warnings (rl-training, llms.txt,
step-by-step-checklist, fallback-model) untouched.
- website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md
+ `hermes kanban decompose` action row in the action table, with
pointer to the Auto vs Manual orchestration section.
- website/docs/reference/profile-commands.md
+ `--description "<text>"` flag on `hermes profile create`.
+ Full `hermes profile describe` section: read, --text, --auto,
--overwrite, --all flags with examples.
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md (the big one)
+ Triage column intro rewritten around the Auto-decompose default
behavior, with pointer to the new Auto vs Manual section.
+ Status action row updated to mention both ⚗ Decompose and
✨ Specify on triage cards.
+ New "Auto vs Manual orchestration" section explaining the two
modes, how to flip them (pill, config), how routing-by-description
works, the no-None-assignee guarantee, plus a config knob table
(auto_decompose, auto_decompose_per_tick, orchestrator_profile,
default_assignee) and the two new auxiliary slots
(kanban_decomposer, profile_describer).
+ REST surface table gains 6 new endpoint rows: /tasks/:id/decompose,
/profiles (GET), /profiles/:name (PATCH), /profiles/:name/describe-auto,
/orchestration (GET + PUT).
- website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban-tutorial.md
+ Triage column blurb updated for Auto by default + Manual via the
pill, with cross-link to the Auto vs Manual orchestration section.
- website/docs/user-guide/profiles.md
+ Blank-profile flow now mentions --description and points to the
kanban routing model for context.
- website/docs/user-guide/configuration.md
+ `kanban_decomposer` and `profile_describer` added to the
`hermes model -> Configure auxiliary models` menu listing.
