The Daimons

Six specialized agents. Each has its own model configuration, tool access, and a SOUL.md that defines precisely what it does — and what it must never do.

Hermes
Hermes Orchestrator

The only agent the user speaks to directly. Decomposes tasks, routes to the right Daimon, and synthesizes results. Owns .eter/.hermes/.

Model: claude-3.5-sonnet
Key Tools: delegate_task, talk_to, discover, run_workflow, memory, clarify
SOUL.md Limits: No implement code · No direct web search · No skip session close
Workflows: project-init, feature, bug-fix, security-review, research, refactor
→ No implement code → No direct web search → No skip session close
Ariadna
Ariadna Project Manager

Maintains CURRENT.md and LOG.md. Detects blockers before they stop work. Provides session onboarding status on every open.

Model: gpt-4o
Key Tools: todo, memory, read_file, write_file, session_search
SOUL.md Limits: No architectural decisions · No code writing · No direct user contact
Workflows: project-init, feature
→ No architectural decisions → No code writing → No direct user contact
Hefesto
Hefesto Senior Developer

Receives specs from Hermes, spawns atomic sub-agents (Ergates) via delegate_task(role=...), consolidates results, and runs tests.

Model: claude-3.5-sonnet
Key Tools: delegate_task, execute_code, read_file, write_file, patch, terminal, search_files
SOUL.md Limits: No design decisions · No ambiguous specs (report first) · Tracks via TASKS.md
Workflows: feature, bug-fix, security-review, refactor
→ No design decisions → No ambiguous specs → Tracks via TASKS.md
Etalides
Etalides Web Researcher

Uses web_search + web_extract. Every finding requires a source URL and a confidence level. Output is always structured: Findings / Sources / Confidence.

Model: claude-3.5-sonnet
Key Tools: web_search, web_extract, browser_navigate, browser_snapshot, browser_click
SOUL.md Limits: No opinions or recommendations · ≤10 links / standard mode · Append-only RESEARCH.md
Workflows: feature, bug-fix, security-review, research
→ No opinions → ≤10 links / standard → Append-only RESEARCH.md
Daedalus
Daedalus UX/UI Designer

Designs user flows, layout specs, and HTML/CSS prototypes. Performs UX review post-implementation to catch regressions. Ensures WCAG compliance.

Model: claude-3.5-sonnet
Key Tools: browser_navigate, browser_snapshot, browser_vision, read_file, write_file
SOUL.md Limits: No production code · No tech stack decisions · Minimum steps per flow
Workflows: project-init, feature, refactor
→ No production code → No tech stack decisions → Minimum steps per flow
Athena
Athena Security Engineer

STRIDE threat modeling, OWASP review, dependency CVE auditing. Flags risks to Ariadna as sprint blockers. Activates proactively on new endpoints or dependencies.

Model: claude-3.5-sonnet
Key Tools: search_files, read_file, terminal, web_search
SOUL.md Limits: No code implementation · All CVE search via Etalides · Risk before deployment
Workflows: feature, bug-fix, security-review, refactor
→ No code implementation → CVE search via Etalides → Risk before deployment
