Hermes · Kanban Board

A SQLite task queue. Many named agents pulling work, surviving restarts.

Kanban is a durable task board in ~/.hermes/kanban.db, shared across all your profiles; every task is a row, every worker a real named agent. Unlike delegate_task (a blocking call), it is a durable queue: fire-and-forget, retryable, human-in-the-loop, with an audit trail. Tasks flow triage → todo → ready → running → blocked → done. Run hermes kanban init, create tasks with --assignee, and the dispatcher (in the gateway, 60s tick) spawns the assigned profile as a worker. Workers drive the board via kanban_* tools. An orchestrator decomposes a goal into linked child tasks; a stuck worker blocks and you unblock it from the dashboard or /kanban.
