RUDR9 is an installer script that turns an existing Hermes Agent setup into a team of nine specialized AI roles that work together like a small software engineering organization. Instead of one AI assistant handling everything, RUDR9 sets up separate profiles for a coordinator, a planner, an architect, a version control manager, a builder, a security reviewer, a performance reviewer, and a final quality reviewer, each with its own memory, tools, and rules. When a user asks for a feature, the coordinator role breaks the request into tasks and assigns them to the other roles in order: the planner writes a specification, the architect designs the technical approach, the version control manager creates a branch and pull request, the builder writes the code, the security and performance roles review it, and a final reviewer approves the merge. Simple one-file fixes skip most of these steps, while larger features go through the full sequence, with progress tracked on a Kanban-style board. A core idea of the project is that each role's permissions are enforced by restricting which tools it can use, not just by instructions in a prompt. For example, the planner role has no ability to write or edit files at all, so it cannot secretly bypass the planning step and start coding. An additional plugin adds a second layer of enforcement at the level of individual tool calls. Installing RUDR9 requires Hermes Agent already installed and configured, along with Git, Node.js, and an authenticated GitHub command line tool for the version control role. The install script creates the profile folders, copies role definition files into each one, sets up two connected external tool servers, and initializes the Kanban board. A dry run option lets you preview these changes before committing to them, and an uninstall option reverses them. RUDR9 is released under the MIT License, a permissive license that allows free use including commercial use. It is built by Ardha Studios and is best suited for solo developers or small teams who already use Hermes Agent and want a more structured, multi-role workflow for building software.
