stoa-agent 0.14.3

STOA Agent — a chamber of six sovereign LLMs + one dispatcher. Local-first, on-chain verifiable, ERC-8004 reputation. Forked from NousResearch/hermes-agent.

STOA Agent ⁂

Six sovereign LLMs as your local agent. Council-mode by default · On-chain verifiable · ERC-8004 reputation.

Hermes Agent gave you one brain on your machine. STOA gives you a chamber.

A fork of NousResearch / hermes-agent v0.14.0 (MIT) — see ATTRIBUTION.md for the full provenance.

What's different from Hermes

The STOA fork preserves everything Hermes did right — the agent runtime, the 21-platform gateway, the 7-backend sandbox, the SQLite + FTS5 memory, the SKILL.md format, the uv-based one-line install — and adds the things a single-brain framework cannot:

1. Council mode (5-of-6 quorum)

Hermes routes a task to one LLM. STOA routes it to six (one per sovereign provider) in parallel, then a seventh dispatcher (Hermes-the-character) composes a verdict. Five of six must agree on the core position. Dissent is captured, not erased.

stoa /council "audit this contract: $(cat MyToken.sol)"
# → 6 LLMs in parallel
# → Sokrates / Mira / Veritas / Drax / Lyra / Echo each respond
# → Verdict + agreement signal + per-agent dissent + response hash

2. On-chain attestation

Every tool call optionally writes its response hash to AuditAttestationV2 on Monad mainnet. Months later, anyone can verify a STOA agent ran exactly the action it claims it ran — without trusting the operator.

stoa --attest /council "verify this trade"
# → tx hash returned, IPFS evidence bundle pinned

3. ERC-8004 agent reputation

Each command emits a reputation event. The cross-agent reputation graph (queryable on-chain) lets other agents check a STOA agent's track record before delegating to it.

4. Council-audited skill publication

The hardest problem in agent skill ecosystems is supply-chain trust — OpenClaw shipped 9 CVEs in 4 days. STOA's answer: no skill publishes without a 6-agent audit + 5-of-6 quorum + an on-chain audit hash. Security, performance, prompt-injection, license, structure, attribution — six different lenses on every new skill.

5. Persona-bound provider routing

The six agents are not six instances of the same model. Each is tied to a different sovereign provider:

Agent	Role	Marketing name
Sokrates	the question-maker	Claude Opus 4.7
Mira	the builder	GPT-5
Veritas	the auditor	Gemini 2.5 Pro
Drax	the red team	Grok 4
Lyra	the designer	Llama 3.3 405B
Echo	the operator	Mistral Large 3
Hermes	the dispatcher (the seventh)	—

Set them per persona in ~/.stoa/cli-config.yaml:

personas:
  sokrates: { provider: anthropic, model: claude-opus-4-7,  api_mode: anthropic }
  mira:     { provider: openrouter, model: openai/gpt-5,     api_mode: chat_completions }
  veritas:  { provider: openrouter, model: google/gemini-2.5-pro }
  drax:     { provider: openrouter, model: xai/grok-4 }
  lyra:     { provider: openrouter, model: meta-llama/llama-3.3-405b }
  echo:     { provider: openrouter, model: mistralai/mistral-large-3 }
  hermes:   { provider: deepseek,  model: deepseek-chat }

6. Council mode + on-chain attestation

Solo mode, all 21 platforms, and the full skill ecosystem are free. Council mode + opt-in on-chain attestation are available to anyone in v0.x — the token gate is disabled by default (no STOA token deployed yet; the launch was cancelled).

When/if a STOA token launches, the gate activates by setting STOA_TOKEN_CONTRACT + STOA_COUNCIL_MIN_HOLDING_WEI in env. Until then, council mode is free.

# Bind your wallet (requires signing the canonical EIP-4361 bind message
# — see `stoa wallet message` for the exact string).
stoa wallet bind 0x... --signature 0x...

# Use council mode.
stoa /council "..."

⚠️ On-chain attestation status: the attest_response_hash codepath is a SCAFFOLD in v0.x — it computes the response hash + persists it locally but does not yet submit a transaction to the AuditAttestationV2 contract on Monad mainnet. The M3 release wires the actual eth_sendRawTransaction transport. Until then, expect attestation_enabled to log "scaffold" + queue the request.
