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
