Weeks 4 & 5
What I tried:
Hermes — I found using Hermes to try to orchestrate work a bit tricky, especially around getting containers to work correctly, i.e. I got errors about not being able to start the container once I moved beyond a single profile.
This could be a skill issue of course, but this coupled with not being able to use the Claude subscription made me move on. I will file Hermes as a useful too for other things — I can imagine it is great for stuff where you want to chat remotely to it from anywhere at any time, and you want it to build memory.
Pi.dev — brief go at this, but not too long. I figured this would be good if I need a coding agent I can hack, but for now Claude Code is fine for my usages as a unit of doing work.
Kanban plugin — here I am using Claude Code and trying to get a simple local kanban flow going. This works quite well and I recommend trying it!
claude plugn marketplace add motlin/claude-code-plugins
claude plugin install markdown-tasks@motlin-claude-code-pluginsSandcastle — sandcastle lets you run agents in containers and orchestrate them with Typescript. I made a video with more details of what I set up:
Hackathon — at work we did a one-day hackathon, and we used Rovo Studio, Rovo CLI and Rovo Agent to build Confluence apps. I also used an internal tool that does multi-agent orchestration and links to Bitbucket and Jira and that works really well. I might do some videos on future on Rovo and Forge stuff as it is an interesting angle for work where you are probably using Jira already.
