+
+# DKAI Hermes
+
+**Hermes Agent controller** on Kubernetes, wired to **remote [Enodios](https://github.com/DataKnifeAI/enodios) vLLM** at **`https://vllm.dataknife.net/v1`**.
+
+**Enodios does not run in this workspace.** Enodios is the remote inference stack (vLLM on GPU / DataKnife-hosted). This pod installs **Hermes only** and connects outbound over HTTPS. No `enodios install`, no local vLLM, no GPU required in the workspace.
+
+```
+You ──► Hermes Agent (this Coder workspace — tools, files, terminal)
+              │
+              │  OpenAI-compatible API
+              ▼
+         Remote Enodios vLLM (vllm.dataknife.net — outside workspace)
+```
+
+## What runs where
+
+| Component | Location | In workspace? |
+|-----------|----------|---------------|
+| **Enodios / vLLM** | GPU host or `vllm.dataknife.net` | **No** |
+| **Hermes Agent** | Coder workspace pod | **Yes** |
+| **Your code** | Optional git clone under `/home/coder/<repo>/` | **Yes** |
+
+## What you get
+
+- **`hermes` CLI** — agent with tools; config on tool PVC at `~/.hermes`.
+- **Remote vLLM parameters** — Hermes `custom_providers` block (Enodios layout) rewritten each start:
+  - **`vllm_base_url`** — default `https://vllm.dataknife.net/v1`
+  - **`vllm_model`** — default `hermes3:8b`
+  - **`vllm_api_key`** — optional, for authenticated endpoints
+- **`hermes_worker_git_url`** — optional project repo (default `agent-workspace`); not Enodios itself.
+- **`start-hermes-chat`** — `hermes chat` from cloned repo or `/home/coder`.
+- **Startup probe** — `GET <base-url>/models` reachability check.
+
+## Quick start
+
+1. Ensure remote Enodios vLLM is up at `vllm.dataknife.net` (or your `vllm_base_url`).
+2. Create workspace; confirm startup shows **vLLM reachability: ok**.
+3. Chat:
+
+   ```bash
+   start-hermes-chat
+   ```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Default | Notes |
+|-----------|---------|-------|
+| `vllm_base_url` | `https://vllm.dataknife.net/v1` | Remote Enodios endpoint (reachable from pods) |
+| `vllm_model` | `hermes3:8b` | Must match remote `/v1/models` |
+| `vllm_api_key` | (empty) | If remote vLLM requires auth |
+| `hermes_worker_git_url` | `agent-workspace` repo | Your project code — not Enodios |
+
+## Operating Enodios (remote)
+
+Enodios is managed on the inference side. See **[Enodios docs](https://dataknifeai.github.io/enodios/)** for GPU host setup (`enodios install`, `enodios start --lan`, etc.). Controllers (this template) only need Hermes pointed at the remote URL.
+
+## Relationship to DKAI Agent
+
+Same Kubernetes layout and CLI tooling (`gh`, `glab`, `kubectl`, `rancher`). Replaces Cursor Cloud Agent with **Hermes → remote Enodios vLLM**.
+
+Git / `gh` / `glab` shared paths: **[DKAI Agent README](../dkai-agent/README.md#git-gh--glab-and-home)**.
+
+## Debugging
+
+```bash
+coder ssh <workspace> -- sh -c 'cat /mnt/coder-tool-config/hermes/config.yaml'
+coder ssh <workspace> -- sh -c 'curl -fsS "https://vllm.dataknife.net/v1/models" | head -c 500'
+```
