Advanced Hermes Agent Engineering

Memory, coordination, planning, safety, optimization, and scale.

A rigorous advanced course on Hermes Agent memory and skills architecture, Bot Mode coordination, integrations, evaluation, optimization, safety, and deployment. The curriculum is grounded in the curated technical references and preserves their technical depth, code, diagrams, decision rules, and failure analysis. Every lesson adds objectives, an applied lab, review questions, and concrete completion evidence. The course closes with a substantial capstone: Deploy a secure multi-agent Hermes system with durable memory, external integrations, evaluation gates, cost controls, and an operational runbook.
