hermes moa Command — Complete Reference & Examples

Overview

hermes moa configures the provider/model set used by /moa <prompt>. A Mixture-of-Agents (MoA) preset is a named list of models; when you run /moa, Hermes routes the prompt through every model in the preset and aggregates their outputs.

hermes moa <list|configure|delete>

Aliases are accepted: ls for list, config for configure, rm for delete.

Subcommands

list (or ls) — Show current MoA model slots

hermes moa list
hermes moa ls

Displays the configured MoA presets and the models each one contains.

configure (or config) — Interactively pick MoA models

hermes moa configure
hermes moa configure expert-panel

Runs an interactive picker to create or update a preset. If you supply [name], the picker targets that preset name; otherwise it works on the default preset.

delete (or rm) — Delete a MoA preset

hermes moa delete expert-panel
hermes moa rm expert-panel

Removes the named preset permanently.

Common Scenarios

Create a code-review panel

hermes moa configure code-review
# Interactively select strong coding models

List existing presets

hermes moa list

Clean up an unused preset

hermes moa rm old-panel

Use a preset with /moa

# In a Hermes chat session:
/moa "Review this PR diff" --preset code-review

Tips

• MoA works best for tasks that benefit from multiple perspectives, such as code review, architecture decisions, and creative writing.
• Each model in a preset makes a separate API call — keep an eye on costs with hermes insights.
• Use 2-3 strong models for a good quality/cost balance; adding too many models usually yields diminishing returns.
• Presets are stored in your Hermes configuration; back up ~/.hermes/config.yaml before making large changes.
