What this cluster is about

This cluster documents the event-driven, self-observing hook layer for Hermes and compatible AI toolchains (Copilot, Cloud Code, Gemini, Codex). The core idea: instrument every agent with semantic hooks that emit structured events onto a shared bus, then deploy specialised observer agents that learn from those traces and gradually reshape how the system behaves — without retraining the underlying models.

This work sits at the intersection of Multi-Agent Systems, Autonomic Computing (MAPE-K), Event-Driven Architecture, and Runtime Observability.

Pages in this cluster

🪝 Hermes Hook Layer — Abstract & Engineering Brief

The publication-ready output. Contains:

• A short academic abstract (suitable for paper introductions or proposals)
• A single engineering design paragraph (suitable for README, architecture docs, or pitch decks)

Use this page when you need to communicate the idea quickly and precisely to an academic or technical audience.

📖 Hermes Hook Layer — Extended Reference

The full reference. Contains:

• Key academic fields and positioning sentence
• Precise terminology table (instrumentation, complex events, meta-control, observational learning, etc.)
• Agent taxonomy with 8 hook-layer roles (titles, responsibilities, purposes)
• Engineering vocabulary reference (event bus, event sourcing, control plane vs. data plane, closed-loop adaptation)
• UX narrative story illustrating the user experience
