-# Requirements: ngn-agent
-
-**Defined:** 2026-06-14
-**Core Value:** The agent must NEVER mutate real infrastructure beyond what the limited IAM role permits, while being maximally useful for diagnostics, research, and automation.
-
-## v1 Requirements
-
-### Authentication & Provider
-
-- [ ] **AUTH-01**: Agent authenticates via AWS Bedrock as primary LLM provider using boto3 SSO auth chain
-- [ ] **AUTH-02**: Agent falls back to OpenRouter when Bedrock encounters errors (rate limits, 5xx, auth failures)
-- [ ] **AUTH-03**: Project-local `./.aws/` config with limited SSO role mounted read-only into Docker container
-- [ ] **AUTH-04**: SSO token refresh handled via AWS SDK cached registration (~7 day validity); browser login on expiry
-- [ ] **AUTH-05**: OpenRouter API key stored in `~/.hermes/.env`
-
-### Container & Security
-
-- [ ] **CONT-01**: Hermes configured with Docker terminal backend
-- [ ] **CONT-02**: Docker container runs with `--cap-drop ALL`, `--security-opt no-new-privileges`, PID limits
-- [ ] **CONT-03**: `./.aws/` mounted into container as read-only volume
-- [ ] **CONT-04**: AWS_PROFILE=limited environment variable set in container
-- [ ] **CONT-05**: Hermes dangerous command approval enabled with manual or smart mode
-- [ ] **CONT-06**: Hardline blocklist protects against catastrophic commands
-
-### Memory & Knowledge
-
-- [ ] **MEM-01**: Hermes persistent memory (MEMORY.md + USER.md) stores infrastructure facts
-- [ ] **MEM-02**: Agent proactively saves environment facts and conventions
-- [ ] **MEM-03**: Session search available for recalling past infrastructure context
-- [ ] **MEM-04**: Git worktree isolation enabled for parallel branch work
-
-### Gateway
-
-- [ ] **GATE-01**: Telegram gateway configured and connected
-- [ ] **GATE-02**: Pairing-based authorization for new users
-- [ ] **GATE-03**: Scheduled daily reports and stale session cleanup
-
-### Skills
-
-- [ ] **SKIL-01**: Skills system operational with Hermes Skills Hub integration
-- [ ] **SKIL-02**: Read-only infrastructure diagnostic skills operational
-- [ ] **SKIL-03**: Jira and Confluence reporting via MCP tools
-
-## v2 Requirements
-
-### Enhanced
-
-- **SKIL-04**: Self-improving auto-skills that detect and adapt to recurring patterns
-- **SKIL-05**: Custom Hermes skills catalog for platform engineering workflows
-- **GATE-04**: Microsoft Teams gateway
-
-## Out of Scope
-
-| Feature | Reason |
-|---------|--------|
-| Direct `~/.aws` mounting | Privileged credentials must never enter container |
-| Non-AWS cloud providers | GCP/Azure deferred — focus on AWS first |
-| Native mobile app | Telegram gateway covers mobile use case |
-| Self-hosted model serving | Bedrock + OpenRouter sufficient |
-| Kubernetes in-cluster deployment | Local agent with CLI access only |
