It sits there for two days. Your teammates are busy. By the time someone reviews it, you've already context-switched three times and forgotten half of what you wrote.<br> Code review is one of the highest-value activities in software development — and one of the most consistently delayed ones. I wanted to fix that with Hermes Agent doing the heavy lifting.<br> The result: Hermes PR Reviewer — a Spring Boot application that listens for GitHub PR events and triggers a full agentic review pipeline. Hermes Agent clones the repo, fetches the diff, runs linters, reasons over the output, and posts a structured review back to the PR. No human in the loop. End to end in under 30 seconds.</p> <p><strong>What I Built</strong><br> A GitHub App backend with the following pipeline:<br> GitHub PR opened / updated<br> ↓<br> Spring Boot webhook server (port 8080)<br> → verifies HMAC-SHA256 signature<br> → dispatches async pipeline<br> ↓<br> GitTool: git clone + git diff<br> ↓<br> LinterTool: eslint / ruff / checkstyle on changed files<br> ↓<br> Hermes Agent API (port 8642 on EC2)<br> → multi-step reasoning over diff + lint output<br> → returns structured JSON review<br> ↓<br> GitHubCommentService: posts verdict + findings to PR<br> The key thing: Hermes Agent is doing real agentic work here. It's not a single prompt-and-response. It reasons over the diff hunk by hunk, cross-references linter warnings against specific lines, assesses security risk, code quality, and test coverage gaps — then decides a verdict. That multi-step reasoning without hand-holding is exactly what makes it an agent rather than a wrapper.</p> <p><strong>Tech Stack</strong></p> <ol> <li>Java 21 + Spring Boot 3.2 — webhook server, async pipeline</li> <li>Hermes Agent 0.14 — the core reasoning engine, running on AWS EC2</li> <li>OpenRouter — model provider (nvidia/nemotron-3-super-120b-a12b:free)</li> <li>GitHub API (Kohsuke SDK) — posting review comments</li> <li>OkHttp — calling Hermes Agent's OpenAI-compatible API</li> </ol> <p>How I Used Hermes Agent</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fiwhndekthandflom6lpa.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fiwhndekthandflom6lpa.png" alt=" " width="800" height="390"></a></p> <p><strong>Open-Source Repo:</strong> <a href="https://github.com/67abraham/hermes_agent_pr_reviewer.git" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/67abraham/hermes_agent_pr_reviewer.git</a></p> <p>screenshoot:</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fv0k5a6iy5z026f7j1661.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fv0k5a6iy5z026f7j1661.png" alt=" " width="800" height="449"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxhevze1myjrl9s0znfmv.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fxhevze1myjrl9s0znfmv.png" alt=" " width="800" height="449"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F1ubzdjckm6sfpa2xyb06.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F1ubzdjckm6sfpa2xyb06.png" alt=" " width="800" height="449"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0k1ek75jl5b3d5dz38dm.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0k1ek75jl5b3d5dz38dm.png" alt=" " width="800" height="449"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F9gdz5t06bsrifclf6cem.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F9gdz5t06bsrifclf6cem.png" alt=" " width="800" height="449"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0vloe4tp41vhggtzocnz.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2F0vloe4tp41vhggtzocnz.png" alt=" " width="800" height="449"></a></p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fgrqzh2hc9thacuy43wqp.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fgrqzh2hc9thacuy43wqp.png" alt=" " width="800" height="480"></a> </p> <p>Team:<br> <a class="mentioned-user" href="https://dev.to/abraham_airco_67">@abraham_airco_67</a></p> hermesagentchallenge devchallenge agents java Abraham C.
