RUDR9 turns Hermes Agent into a 9-role dev team with one script
RUDR9 is a single installer script you run right after setting up that automatically builds out nine roles: the default profile acting as CTO plus eight specialist profiles — Planner, Architect, Manager, Builder, or, , and Reviewer. It replaces the repetitive setup work of creating profiles, configuring toolsets, setting up a , installing skills, and wiring MCP connections every time a structured dev workflow is needed. Coordination runs through Hermes's built-in : the CTO role creates tasks, a dispatcher spawns the assigned profile as a worker, and results flow back through task comments and linked , all visible on the board.
The key design choice is that role authority is enforced through actual toolset restrictions rather than just system-prompt instructions — for example, the Planner profile has no file-write tool, and the or has no . A guard plugin running as a pre_tool_call hook watches for and blocks violations of these restrictions.

- Included roles: Planner, Architect, Manager, Builder, or, , and Reviewer
- Coordination happens through Hermes's built-in , covering task creation, assignment, and result sharing
- are enforced through actual tool access restrictions, not system-prompt instructions (e.g. the Planner has no file-write tool)
- A guard plugin using a pre_tool_call hook actively monitors and blocks restriction violations
