Synapse-Overlord — A Local-First Autonomous Architecture Assistant Powered by Hermes Agent

Synapse-Overlord

A local-first autonomous architecture assistant built with Rust, Axum, and Hermes Agent.

Synapse-Overlord is an experimental AI engineering dashboard that can:

• map software projects
• inspect source code
• perform structured tool-use
• analyze architecture
• generate engineering suggestions
• sandbox execution safely
• manage generated frontend projects

The core of the system is powered by Hermes Agent-style multi-turn tool orchestration.

Instead of generating a single text response, the system performs iterative reasoning through structured tools like:

• file_list
• file_read
• file_search
• sandbox testing
• architecture analysis

Every tool call is logged visually inside the dashboard, allowing users to observe the full reasoning trace in real time.

This project was built for the Hermes Agent Challenge.

Demo

The dashboard shows Hermes Architect running real tool-use over the project.

The agent analyzes the codebase, lists files, reads selected files, searches code, and returns structured engineering suggestions.
