Nerve for Hermes
Supervise Hermes agent work with Jev decisions, evidence checks and explicit completion authority.
Added to Jevfast
How it uses Jev
When the assistant-loop audit is enabled and there are active loops, Nerve sends Jev a bounded state containing up to 16 compact open-loop records and the current turn context. Jev returns one of four typed decisions. Nerve adds that result as accountability advice for Hermes; the surrounding code keeps Hermes and the user in authority.

YOUR APP
INSTRUCTION
Choose whether to continue, nudge for a concrete next move, replan after material drift, or escalate when human judgment, permission, or an external dependency is needed.
STATE
The source builds state from up to 16 active loops, with each record including available id, title, state, next move, owner, deadline, and definition of done, plus current-turn text capped at 2,400 characters. This describes the request shape; it is not a captured audit or Jev answer.

App workflow
- Collect active loops
When auditing is enabled, the assistant gathers nonterminal loops and skips the Jev call when none are active.
- Build bounded state and ask Jev
It keeps compact fields from at most 16 loops, adds the bounded current turn, and asks for CONTINUE, NUDGE, REPLAN, or ESCALATE.
- Add advice to the assistant context
A non-CONTINUE result above the configured confidence threshold is appended as advice. Hermes and the user retain authority over what happens next.
Why it is interesting
The audit turns a set of open work items and the current turn into a small supervisory signal. It can distinguish a routine continuation from a concrete nudge, a material replan, or a need for human judgment, while leaving execution authority with the assistant and user.
