Nous Research Hermes Agent v0.12.0: Multi-Agent Kanban & Architecture

Multiple bloggers mentioned Nous Research released Hermes Agent v0.12.0, adding multi-agent support: multiple agents claim tasks from a kanban board and work in parallel, parent tasks can be split into subtasks, and results are aggregated before continuing; each task runs in an independent profile with its own tools, skills, and persona, with agents passing files via shared workspaces (directories, git worktree, or temporary directories). v0.12 also includes built-in kanban-orchestrator and kanban-worker skills, with an SQLite backend ensuring durability and atomicity. The Trinity-Large-Thinking model is available for free use on Nous Portal this week.

Codex /goal Feature Explained & Practical Advice

Multiple Chinese bloggers discussed the mechanism and usage of Codex’s experimental /goal feature: this feature mounts a long-term goal to the current thread, automatically pushing through multiple rounds until completion or budget exhaustion, suitable for “verifiable long-term goals” rather than initial requirement clarification. @LufzzLiz provided a detailed breakdown of the three underlying components (local state, hidden prompt, runtime scheduling) and gave recommended writing tips: define scope and success criteria, attempt to overcome blockers first, and if unsolvable, summarize the blocking points and stop. @Astronaut_1216 referenced @wadezone’s content about “99% of Douyin AI tutorial bloggers don’t have Claude Code and the $200 OpenAI subscription”, stating their own habit of first checking Xianyu for existing tools before making decisions.

Discussion on Self-Media IP Building & Private Domain Monetization Paths

Multiple Chinese bloggers mentioned views on long-term self-media operation. Core viewpoints include: content should project real experiences of the world, including what is seen, felt, and puzzled by; product definition refers to something that can be delivered, not just paid content; the path from novice to the first pot of gold is not suitable for one-on-one consulting, but should be standardized; the user journey is the core link, from seeing content to guiding orders, building trust in between through methods like social media circles.
