In plain words
Minions is an open source mission control platform designed to manage multiple Hermes agents running in parallel. It provides a centralized task board for monitoring running tasks, performing periodic check-ins, and automatically retrying stuck processes. The tool aims to reduce operational chaos when scaling from single-task agents to managing many concurrent workflows. Currently compatible with Hermes Agent, with support for additional runtimes planned.

From the sources
Your Hermes Agent works great for one task. Try managing 20 in parallel? It's chaos. Cron jobs fail silently, tasks are blocked and you're spending more time fixing your agent than getting results. Minions gives you a single task board to view it all. Every running task gets periodic check-ins, retry if stuck, and escalate only when it's genuinely exhausted alternatives Works with Hermes Agent today, more runtimes coming.

Hermes Agent is powerful, but running real work on it means juggling terminal sessions, losing track of which job finished, and manually checking on long-running tasks. The more you delegate, the harder it gets to manage. Minions gives you one screen to create, supervise, and review autonomous Hermes Agent work. Local sqllite db is created on first run and state lives in ~/.minions/ minions --version npm view minionsai version The Settings page also shows the version of the running Minions server. Each task is a persistent Hermes root session. You talk to it, it works, and the board reflects where everything stands. Chat transcripts live in Hermes's session database; Minions stores task…from github.com

Mission Control – Open-source task management for AI agentsFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲45I've been delegating work to Claude Code for the past few months, and it's been genuinely transformative—but managing multiple agents doing different things became chaos. No tool existed for this workflow, so I built one. The Problem When you're working with AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf), you end up in a weird situation: - You have tasks scattered across your head, Slack, email, and the CLI - Agents need clear work items, context, and role-specific instructions - You have no visibility into what agents are actually doing - Failed tasks just... disappear. No retry, no notification…

Talanoa▲339Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
