Hermes + Claw3D — 5-Agent AI Team with Guardian & 3D Office

Five AI agents, a 3D virtual office, and a Guardian proxy that keeps your costs predictable — all in one `docker-compose up`. HERMES, FORGE, CODEX, CRUCIBLE, and LINTER run behind a Guardian proxy that handles token budgets, model fallback, conversation memory compaction, and Telegram heartbeat alerts automatically. Claw3D gives you a browser-based 3D office where you watch your agents work in real time. The WebSocket gateway is built directly into Hermes — no separate OpenClaw Gateway service needed. --- **Your 5-agent team:** - **HERMES** — Lead orchestrator. Routes requests, coordinates the team, manages context, sends daily briefings. - **FORGE** — Code agent. Reads and edits your actual project files via Claude Code CLI. Real file operations, real diffs. - **CODEX** — Second coding engine via OpenAI gpt-4o. Run both on the same task, compare implementations, pick the better result. - **CRUCIBLE** — Security auditor. OWASP-aligned review before every deployment. Severity-tagged findings. - **LINTER** — Nightly CVE scanner. Your dependencies are checked automatically every night at 02:00 UTC. --- **Guardian proxy — what it actually does:** Sets a hard token budget per agent per day. When an agent hits its limit, Guardian falls back to a cheaper model automatically — claude-haiku first, then optionally gpt-4o-mini. Compacts conversation memory before sessions hit context limits. Pings every agent on a 30-minute heartbeat — silence triggers an immediate Telegram alert. Every API call is logged. Daily spend report in your Telegram. You configure it once in `.env`. Guardian handles the rest. --- **Claw3D 3D virtual office:** Browser-based 3D office, pre-configured and ready. Watch your agents work in real time. Always open in a browser tab. --- **What you need:** - Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 VPS - Anthropic API key - OpenAI API key (for CODEX and fallback) - Telegram bot token - Domain pointed at the server **Time to live:** 15 minutes from unzip to live team. Tested on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS — March 2026.
